History

In the films that we watched this week in class I found to be really informative about the ancestors of this country  and how they got to the Americas. In the films they explained and showed the ancestry of several people who are citizens of the united states. I thought that the pictures they where able to find where really moving to the people who had relatives in them. By being able to actually see the background and what their relatives went through seamed to make people really appreciated and want to go back to where originally from in the U.S.

      These films made me want to research my own family background. I  found my self appreciating Yo Yo Ma
a lot more because of the rough childhood he went through. In his situation if his dad didn't get one job his life could be completely different. Even though he wasn't a violinist he still proved his parents wrong by being a master of the Cello, the instrument that he chose to play at age 4. These videos made me a lot more interested in my family hood and opened my views of who I am actually related to.
