“The First Day”

The details from the text that made a strong impression on me were the ones where the daughter gives her account of the struggles her mom had while trying to enroll her in school. It made a strong impression on me because it showed that an uneducated family is trying to give their child a better future by enrolling them in a school for more educated people. I can link this to my own life as my mom had bad English so when she would go to private and charter school orientations and try to ask questions with her broken English, it was quite embarrassing. The author’s description of the school showed that her caliber of people did not belong there. Everything was unfamiliar and everyone looked different meaning that they did not belong.

  1. Ryan – The whole story is about the difficulties the mother has enrolling the daughter in school. The assignment asked you to share specific details from the text that stood out to you. I don’t see any details here.
