Since money and space was limited in my father’s house hold they would send the boys to an inexpensive boarding school till they reached the end of middle school. My Father dropped out when he came back home. He furthered his education in the U.S, by getting his license in Real Estate and becoming a realtor. My Mother and her siblings finished high school in the U.S. My mother went to Oxnard College and became an English Teacher, but now has her nursing license and is a visiting nurse. My parents both have the highest form of education among their fellow siblings.

Are humans just like animals and do we behave the way we do because we are pre programmed and we follow our instincts. During this semester I was on a journey to discover what sets us apart, and how much and what do we inherent from our parents. Is there such thing as a dictator gene? Why do we behave as we do? Does the stress your parents had affect your life? Is there such thing as free will? Can prenatal events be an influence on your political choice later in life? Are there genetic influences on sexual orientation?

We are living in a society which is called "technologically civilized" society. Every small work we do is technology dependent. Today every other person is recognized with the device or gadget, he carries; which is technically advanced. Ultimately, we can say that ,"living without technology is like living without air" in this technical world of today. Therefore, we are much dependent on technology. Our lifestyles have changed and still continue to change each time a new invention is created. Among the most influential are wheels, light bulbs, telephones, transportation vehicles, refrigerators, radios, televisions, plastics, and computers.

I am Nigerian but I grew up living in England between the ages of 9 and 18. My parents were born and raised in Nigeria. My mother lives in England and my father in Nigeria. Growing up, my parents encouraged me and my siblings to study hard in respected professions (Law, Engineering and Medicine), so we can be independent and be able to take care of ourselves. My mother feels education for girls and women is important as it ensures they are treated with respect. My father on the other hand wanted his daughters and son to get an education and be independent so that we can live comfortably as he does, and not have to rely on others.

As a Fourteen year old girl, I imagined what it would be like to have my life together and own a home. I dreamt of having a modest home, two stories, cozy enough for a family. It would have a back porch, designed of a burnt umber wooden floor and white accent trim. From the porch, you could look upon a serene view of open green spaces. Everything about it would have been beautiful, but now, I am twenty-two and feel I would be lucky to ever move out of my parents house in the next five to seven years which is a very pessimistic sentiment to have, but I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Many of my friends and colleagues have expressed similar viewpoints. It therefore begs the question, what makes this so daunting for us, my generation, the millennial generation, to have a brighter outlook on achieving our dreams, the American dream?

Being Youthful, one now and again needs to confront difficulties; work, relations with boys/girls and family, Education, and attempting to discover one’s place in life, while making time for friends.

“Migrants need a high level of motivation and a good deal of ingenuity to get started. Migration often requires learning a new language and adapting to a new culture. [Ember, 482-486]. The statement above truly depicts the circumstances surrounding new immigrants. As soon as they enter into the host country, negotiation of identity through language starts. In order to communicate and get access to opportunities and resources, they would have to speak the existing the language. This is a good example of multiculturalism, although they learn a new language they do not unlearn their native language and still continue to speak it to each other or the members of their community. Mama brought up an interesting narrative about circumventing this apparent problem faced by new language learners, by learning how to code switch. This is reiterated by this statement “It was as though there was white and black people English. I could not understand because when I spoke proper English my neighbors teased me as being fancy, many of my friends saw it as proper. I had to learn to switch back and forth with ease.” More so, she recollected times when people would make their mouths rounder and slowed down their words because they thought they had to “dumb” down in order for her to understand them. Now as a French, Soninke and Bambara speaking child in Mali, Mama learned some English in school and taught it to many kids. However, as an immigrant in the

One of the things that has troubled me as of late is my generation. The generation that is referred to is the group of people currently aged 15-21 - whether or not this is a "generation," so to speak, is irrelevant. These people, for the most part, disturb me. It frightens me to know that the people that I've grown up with are going to be leading the country and the world in the decades to come. The overwhelming majority of the kids that I've come in contact with over the past few years are apathetic monsters. They don't care about school, they don't care about themselves, and they don't care about their future. To dissect the three aforementioned attributes...

Many times when there is not much to talk about, an older person would bring up a tale from when they were younger. Depending on the listener they usually disagree or agree with the storyteller. For me this occurs a lot since I came from a first generation of immigrants. My parent’s generation mostly discussed many topics: traditions, childhood, society, technology and so on. But although we have an obvious time gap, my generation strives for what the old generation wanted. There are many parallels to what each generation has and desires.

Humanity have enter in an entire new millennium a new era for mankind as we approach to new discoveries and find ways to do thing more efficiently at faster rate. For examples cell phones, in the beginning we there was only one thing that made cell phones a hit. The mere fact that people are able to communicate with someone else while not stuck to a landline. Cell phones are portable which means a person can take it anywhere they please. Over the years cells phones have evolve drastically. From a big bulky brick design to a slim as paper design today. Cell phones was a major field for the tech war. So many different companies found ways to make them better and others innovate that idea and makes it even better. Today Cell phones have replaced a lot of classic technology people do not see much of anymore. Payphones, camcorders, voice recorders, stop watches, and many other things. Yes, you still see these items around from time to time but not as frequent as one would see in the 90’s.

Life is a struggle in itself, but to do well in life one must do well in school. The older generations view Generation Y as lazy “kids” who want to take the easy way out. Just because things look easy, doesn’t really mean they are. Computers and calculators may make tasks easier but because of this, harder tasks are given. This new “Lazy” generation must defy all odds just to get through the crazy competition that is high school and college to achieve a well-paying job. The definition of success as we know it is now much harder to attain than it once was for Baby Boomers; yet this “lazy” generation known as Millennials continue to achieve it while overcoming these difficulties that previous generations never faced.
