Good habits should never be changed
sobelle said:Hi,
I have been waiting for almost two years and I know I will be waiting for a long time, I don't know but I just had a feeling I will.
It's up to you just to wait or to take action. If you just wait, it may be for a long period of time.
Did you read the previous message about my friend, the teacher who waited 13 (THIRTEEN!!!!) years for the Green Card?...and they claim they need techers desperately in this country![]()
I teach in the public schools and in my class I do the allegiance of the flag every morning, most of my colleagues don't bother to do it. I do it because I want my young students to respect their flag and be proud of their country. Tell you the truth I don't feel like doing it anymore why bother when we get treated like second class citizens!!
First: You feel like a second class citizen because of the treatment of some incompetents from INS. They don't represent America and the American People! They are just a hand full of public servants paid with our tax money, incapable to perform their own duties.
I understand you frustration, I feel the same like you, but keep in mind, America never treated immigrants as second class citizens, and Americans, most of them immigrants or from families of immigrants, welcome newcomers.
Second: Don't give up this healthy and patriotic routine, is good that here and there are teachers who teach kids real values. Like you said there are not to many like you, your colleagues don't care, those are the bad apples, if you can't do anything to make them not to stink, at least don't get bad like them.
Third: Soon you'll recite the pledge of allegiance at your own Naturalization, just don't loose the faith and don't just wait for things to happen, make things happen, take action.![]()
