today when we were helping with a show in the training studio it really touched me. i really related to the subject they were talking about. they were talking about immigrants and non citizens. the were especially focusing on immigrants from the Caribbean. my father and his whole side of the family is from Jamaica and my father is not a citizen. they were saying how the Caribbean immigrants don’t have a voice and that they wanted to change that by showing the government our numbers. it made me want to go out and help them right away because i feel like that affects me. in school i used to always have this argument with my classmates. since i wasn’t born in Jamaica that i wasn’t Jamaican. at first i used to believe them and go home and cry to my dad asking him why i wasn’t a “real” Jamaican. but now i know better i know that i am a true Jamaican. i can talk with the accent and everything!! really i think that at the end of the day we are all human so it shouldn’t matter what race,color, or place of origin.
