Immigrant Stories

In the 2015 spring semester, the Patrick/Hernandez Sophomore class embarked upon a journey. A journey to discover what drives people to move. Focusing on U.S./Latin-American immigration during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, students were exposed to an array of perspectives and policies. Combining Spanish and Humanities, language and culture; preconceptions were challenged and minds opened. Forming groups, students selected a Latin-American country and attempted to get inside the mind of those affected by immigration. Often victims of more powerful forces, the immigrant's story is rarely told. Through works of fiction, students revealed why immigrants leave their homeland, what they experience on their journey, and how their life is altered once in the U.S. A fourth group member operated as a wildcard, selecting a perspective that fascinated them.
