"Immigrant and Puerto Rico today"

Grew in a place where the opportunities to be a professional or for a better life is really hard. And it’s harder when you have to move and leave behind your country, your family, and all you love. This are one of the thousands things that immigrants have to do when they decide to move to another country to have another opportunity to get a better life.

In General Studies of the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras campus, the English Program presented: “Students Interventions in General Studies: Interdisciplinary projects and creative initiatives”. In this activity we found different groups of students from different English courses presenting their research writing. 

There was an interesting panel that was about immigrants that was called “Immigration and Puerto Rico today”. In this panel there was three girls presenting their research about the immigrant’s topic, and also share their personal experience as immigrants. They came from Dominican Republic and share to the audience how the society accepted they as immigrants, and how is their life being here in Puerto Rico. Also share that even they cant speak very well the English language, they are in the intense English course and present how is treated the Xenophobia here in the island and in their country.
