Her great grandmother wanted to better her life for her children and give them more opportunities. This was, and still is, the image that America tends to emit. America stood for a better future and off of that, a future filled with hope. When they got to America Mary’s family came through Coney Island and settled in The Bronx. They

America had never taken the topic of education as seriously as before, showing its want and need for education more than ever. In the 1850’s many immigrants from Europe had migrated to America to begin a new life. Moving because of famines or revolutions in the 1840’s, America was home to around three-million immigrants in total between 1850 and 1860. This massive wave of immigration caused a nativist feeling to spread over America. Americans began viewing immigrants as inferior to them and required them to go to school to “Americanize” them.

Leisure at the turn of the twentieth century was a new found type of freedom and entertainment, not only for the children, but for the entire family. It was a way for numerous families to spend quality time together but in a more modern and convenient way. Entertainment before the twentieth century consisted of household entertainment, such as board games, and “backyard games” like tennis, and football amongst others. When compared to leisure in the twentieth century, many of these activities were seen as “outdated”, as more and more people started to adopt the new ways of entertainment. Some examples were the openings of catalogs, sports, cinemas, amusement parks.

When immigrants came to the US, people talked about the struggle that many of them had to go through in order to fit into society, however often left out of this is the children. Children had been socially affected by these rapid changes in their lives in America. Education is a large part of our modern day society, and often we take that for granted. However, for many children living in the early half of the 20th century, they often did not get to receive a full education. According to authors Carl L. Bankston and Danielle Antoinette of the book Immigration in U.S. History, Italian Children were pressured by society to assimilate into the culture of the United States(Bankston and Antoinette). They claim the pressure by culture to assimilate social impacted the children because it almost forced them to find a job, or have their parents find jobs for them. Many children were even expected to drop out of school. Often, it was the parents of these children that were the ones to force them to get these jobs. Public schools required that the ones who did end up staying in education programs to only speak English. Assimilating them

Unlike many other migrants to America , they had not been sharecroppers in their home country. This allowed them to emigrate very smoothly into American life. They settled mostly in the cities of the East Coast, in stuffed, tenement-filled districts that were often called “ghettos”. Many Jewish immigrants worked in the textile industry, in shops often owned by descendants of an earlier immigrant family of European Jews. Others took advantage of their financial background from the market towns and cities of Eastern Europe to become vendors, hoping that their entrepreneurial skills would lead to success.

Overwhelmingly the population was impecunious, looking daily for what to eat instead of being preoccupied with school. My family was a modest middle class, barely getting any extra money when needed. In fact, money wasn 't the only problem; the books were scarce, and the ones on the market were outside scope. My mother as an educator had many books she kept for all her children to use as pleased. My father gave great importance to education, and his words were " education is the only road out of poverty." It was his way of reminding us the sanctity of knowledge. Of course, my Mon was working as a teacher in a Catholic high school the only private school in town, but my dad was working twice harder just to keep us in school. To honor him we made a promise that every single child will graduate from high school which we all eventually did with honor roll, but unfortunately, he did not live long to see the accomplishment of his dream. Soon after my dad passing away with one income less we now
