In “The Good immigrant Student” by Bich Minh Nguyen we get a better understanding of what immigrant kids are dealing with in school especially in English because it’s not their native language. We get to understand the struggle they go through every day. Nguyen states “Kids today has the advantage of so much collective cultural wisdom, that they are so much more socially and politically aware than anyone was when I was in school.” Immigrants kids have the chance to do better and learn so many more things that people like Nguyen couldn’t have to learn when she was younger. However, the problem is that it’s hard to motivate the kids they either really start to focused and they want to better themself to a great degree. Or they decided to quit and fade away and accomplished nothing. Nguyen feels powerless because she doesn’t know how to help the kids that gave up and it scared her because she can see them give up like a flickering light that will fade. She states “that some kids will always want to disappear and disappear until they actually do.” She doesn’t want the same thing that happens to her happen to other kids she was bullied because she didn’t know as much as the other kids and because of that she really couldn’t defend herself, the kids also made fun of how she looked which cause her to question herself to the point that I affect her daily life. She wasn’t able to defense for the kids and support their future right away and she always regretted it but now that she had the power and the education she wants to be the voice of the immigrant’s students and wants to make sure that they never have to suffer again.
