After I read Akana  Jayenwardene’s article I found that I am not the only who was impressive about the fact that most of the people living in San Francisco are actually from other parts of the words.

According to Akana’s words “Take for instance the city of San Francisco: It is increasingly rare to find someone born and raised here. Most inhabitants of the city are immigrants. According to a University of Southern California study on immigration to San Francisco, in 1860 half of the city’s population was immigrant” (p. 108)

I am living in San Francisco for three months and I already met a lot of people, but just two boys are born and raised here. That is crazy for me.

In my country, the changes on language affected our day to day writing. Such as emails, text messages, and posts on facebook. Nowadays in Argentinian schools, we do not write too much. Writing is an occasional task. I think that it is a weakness that we have in my culture. People who want to write o learn how to write should take special courses.

In my previous academic institution, I practice how to write in English. In high school, English professors taught me basic rules for writing an email or a letter. Apart from that, when I was preparing my TOEFL and GRE exams, I learned by using templates how to summarize an article and lecture, develop a random topic and criticize a piece of article by pinpointing its flaws.

My name is Selene and come from Greece. It means Goddes of the moon in greek. I’m from Argentina so it is not a common name there. My parents chose it primarily because they say that it is an original name and also they like it of course. Actually and never feel embarrassed of my name either here or in my country. In my own country, people don’t know how to write it, but it is not a big deal. The only problem in the USA is that people pronounce it different than in Spanish, but to be honest I never think about which is the exact pronunciation since it is in greek.

The only time that I changed my name was in Starbucks because they always write it wrong, but when my coffee was ready and they start shouting my false name I did not realize that it was my coffee, so I never do that again.
