This past week we learned about migration. Migration isn't what most people think it is, many people frown on it and look at it in a negative light. Personally, I don't know how I truly looked at migration before I moved to Arizona maybe I was too young to pay attention to something like that. Even though while I was in grade school I had met many individuals who were from other countries. Once I moved to Arizona, migration became a more relevant topic. I have met undocumented citizens in the past, after talking to them you get a better feeling of why they leave their home land in search of a better life. It is somewhat sad but it is the world that we live in, I'm thankful for the country that I live in. However that is migration on a grand scale, seeing migration on a smaller scale is like how many of the people who live in Williston are not from here. Williston is a very transient town just because of the number of people coming up here for job opportunities but they live somewhere in Florida. Even in my situation I came here an opportunity to further my education and for basketball.
After watching the Lost Boys of Sudan it reinforced my opinion of migration. I feel that it can be beneficial to any individual especially if we pride ourselves in being the land of the free and the home of the brave. Too many good people in this world go through so much pain and hell and in the end they never really see the light. Those boys are a true inspiration and one thing that I truly respect from people who come from other countries is that all they want to do is try.
