Lady Liberty



Standing tall in New York harbor is a lady who represents freedom and fresh beginnings. She is named, The Statue of Liberty. She has greeted many immigrants as they enter America for the very first time. How would you feel when you see her as you are ending your long journey to a new land?

Maya



I had the privileged of going into a Mayan village few years ago. I love the people that I visited with and got to know really well. The only barrier was the language. I could not speak Cital and they could not speak English. After a few days it became a game to try to figure out what the other was trying to say. How would you communicate to someone who could not speak your language?

All American



It's difficult to be accepting of others customs, sometimes. Some countries' natives think it is ok to burp in public, or slurp your soup. Do we have any customs that would be weird to others?
