It is really sad to see how people who have been working their whole life for the United states are not able yet to get their citizenship or any legal document. Mon, 03 May 2021 23:30:55 -0400 Scary https://nowcomment.com/documents/272333?scroll_to=2455038 https://nowcomment.com/documents/272333?scroll_to=2455038 Same thing happened to me, I felt so scared when I came to this country the first time, and especially when I went to BHS for the first time, I didn't know anyone, and the buildings were too big for me. Nowadays, I am so grateful with every single person that I met in BHS, I made incredible friendships and also I learned amazing things from them.

As an immigrant, I know this feeling because I have been very influenced by this country and a lot of people from here have been influenced by me. I also can imagine how grateful Iranians are with this country for opening their doors to them when they needed the most. Mon, 03 May 2021 23:30:55 -0400 Liberal https://nowcomment.com/documents/272333?scroll_to=2455032 https://nowcomment.com/documents/272333?scroll_to=2455032 This makes me think about how hard was for Iranians to adapt to a new whole system. They were coming from a conservative place, they had rules about how to dress and how to think and they just came to one of the most liberal places in the world known as the United states. Mon, 03 May 2021 23:30:55 -0400 Crisis https://nowcomment.com/documents/265262?scroll_to=2396542 https://nowcomment.com/documents/265262?scroll_to=2396542 Evidence of people who are suffering crisis due to a year of pandemic Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:07:56 -0400 Demotivated kids https://nowcomment.com/documents/265262?scroll_to=2396537 https://nowcomment.com/documents/265262?scroll_to=2396537 I totally believe this is a fact. People need to socialize, humans need humans, and more for kids and teenagers who are constantly growing up. Being the whole day stuck at home can create confusion, depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Furthermore, it could create a sedentary lifestyle and loneliness. I understand how worry parents are by seeing their children every day in a bad or sad mood. I also thank those parents who make time to protest and push the District to open schools. Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:05:07 -0400 Reopening schools https://nowcomment.com/documents/265262?scroll_to=2396511 https://nowcomment.com/documents/265262?scroll_to=2396511 On one hand, I really like distance learning because as an immigrant it allowed me to learn more grammar and improve my vocabulary. On the other hand, I understand the concern that parents are having because their children are learning absolutely nothing during this whole year of pandemic. Therefore, I totally agree with the idea of reopening schools for those who want to come back. Also, I recognize the contributions parents have made in order to open schools again. Education is one of the most important things and we all should have an adequate one. Tue, 23 Mar 2021 11:57:19 -0400 feeling. https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390913 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390913 I know how it feels because I've had several mental health crisis. Sometimes, I feel I have a lot of homework and not enough time to finish all of them. Also being in a computer 24/7 could be overwhelming and stressing. I just hope the change won't be so drastic when we go back to school. Fri, 19 Mar 2021 15:00:18 -0400 teachers https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390903 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390903 Forcing teachers to come back school doesn't sound like a good plan. First of all, the government cannot comment on their personal decisions, more than teachers, they are humans and they should have the total control over their actions and to decide whether or not to come back. Last but not least, their health is just as important as the others, therefore if they don't feel comfortable coming back, they shouldn't. Fri, 19 Mar 2021 14:53:49 -0400 Safety https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390897 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390897 Even though I understand that many parents want they children coming back to school, we all have to understand that exposing our lives is not the best way to come back. Therefore, we have to be prepared and well-informed about the returning to school. Fri, 19 Mar 2021 14:46:13 -0400 Confusion https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390896 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390896 I can connect to this because sometimes I feel overwhelmed about my further education. I am really misinformed about how to get enroll into college and that frustrates me. Fri, 19 Mar 2021 14:43:35 -0400 Anxiety, stress and depression https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390895 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259870?scroll_to=2390895 It is surprising for me to see how parents are taking seriously the mental health of their children. Being at home the whole day can cause anxiety, stress and depression therefore, I can understand how they feel being stuck at home everyday. Fri, 19 Mar 2021 14:40:01 -0400 services https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382499 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382499 During COVID, many people were paying for things that they didn't get as the same way before. For example: universities, schools, gyms, etc. A fun fact is that they kept paying the same amount of money for online things than in-person. Tue, 16 Mar 2021 12:15:32 -0400 police https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382491 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382491 This part stood out to me because how desperate can someone be to send to police to arrest their children? Tue, 16 Mar 2021 12:06:10 -0400 Lack of in-person services https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382489 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382489 Even though people don't understand that there are more people with bigger problems, I don't feel that people with mental illness were prioritized. There's a part on the text that says that people related with mental health conditions were just sent home which I feel it is inappropriate due to their families don't have the capacity to deal with them. Tue, 16 Mar 2021 12:02:10 -0400 Understanding https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382467 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382467 Nobody expected a global pandemic therefore special illness centers weren't prepared and sometimes people have to understand that they are not the only ones with the biggest problem, there are people dealing with harder situations. Tue, 16 Mar 2021 11:53:34 -0400 Having to deal people with mental illness having no experience. https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382463 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259866?scroll_to=2382463 When the pandemic started, I never thought about how these people with any mental illness would suffer the consequences, and not just them, their families. Most of these people go to special centers and now that the pandemic exits their families have to take care of them and having to deal with them. People with mental illness is not easy to treat or control and I cannot believe how difficult was for these families to face this huge problem. Tue, 16 Mar 2021 11:48:05 -0400 Justice for everyone. https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376653 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376653 When the pandemic started, teachers looked for an online solution and now that some of them don't want to come back have they been threatened with closing google classroom? that is not fair and really cruel. I hope that google classroom stays open for everybody because it is such a great platform and it also keeps students organized with their assignments. In addition, I hope the government can understand that not because teachers are their employees, they can take control over their personal decisions. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:55:08 -0500 Not fair https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376626 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376626 I cannot believe this, I thought teachers had the chance to choose whether or not to come back to school. Teachers are the must important part of a school and if they don't feel comfortable, they shouldn't go because they are going to transmit that to their students. If they don't want to show up, they should be assigned with any other thing they feel comfortable with. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 12:54:18 -0500 control https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376609 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376609 This makes me think about how different Biden is taking control over the pandemic in contrast to Donald trump. He seems to be handling so much better and in a organized way. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:38:32 -0500 Excellent strategy. Don't forget to use the mask even though you got the vaccine already. https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376573 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376573 These goals are excellent, everyone should keep this in mind because if we don't take care of each other everything is going to be closed again, I just hope that everyone agrees with getting the vaccine and protecting themselves using masks. I just hope this pandemic ends by the end of 2021 and we can come back to normal life. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:31:07 -0500 Schools should be open but with safety strategies. https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376540 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260070?scroll_to=2376540 In my opinion reopening schools soon is going to be a huge change and I just agree with it if getting the vaccine become a requirement for everyone, including students. I also think that everyone should keep their masks on for a while. Reopening school is a great motivation for people who are every day at home and need to socialize, it is time to come back school but I just hope that teachers start involving electronic devices in every class. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:25:00 -0500 normal things https://nowcomment.com/documents/242495?scroll_to=2367952 https://nowcomment.com/documents/242495?scroll_to=2367952 This reminds me how normal people are demanding normal things that for them are not normal because over history they were mistreated and abused. They also are used to think that they don't deserve or are not ready to get these basic things, and now they are fighting and protesting for bread, housing, education, clothing and things that every normal person should have.

Sat, 06 Mar 2021 02:39:57 -0500 and his mother tries to avoid any type of relationship with his son because she didn't want to embarrass him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268040 https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268040 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 23:38:46 -0500 In this case, I believe that the way the mother never tries to communicate completely in english with Jack is actually a shield that she has to avoid problems in the future. https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268039 https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268039 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 23:33:03 -0500 I agree when the father advised the mother that they are in America and she needs to improve her english to have better communication with her family. https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268038 https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268038 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 23:32:13 -0500 It shows how the way we connect with our parents could affect our future because parents give their lives for us and even though we don’t see it they do their best to make us happy and provide what we need. https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268037 https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268037 Tue, 08 Nov 2022 22:10:03 -0500 Jack and his mother are similar because Jack tries to change the type of relationship that he has with his mom to avoid and prevent embarrassing situations because his mother didn’t speak English and his mother tries to avoid any type of relationship with https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268036 https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268036 his son because she didn't want to embarrass him. Sun, 10 Jan 2021 23:30:27 -0500 When I read this, I thought about the type of relationship with other members of our family since we don't know how long they will be with us. https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268035 https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268035 Tue, 08 Nov 2022 21:48:58 -0500 Jack and his mother are similar because Jack tries to change the type of relationship that he has with his mom to avoid and prevent embarrassing situations because his mother didn’t speak english and his mother tries to avoid any type of relationship with https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268034 https://nowcomment.com/documents/241253?scroll_to=2268034 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 23:38:46 -0500
