“I
see people here in America that are from Puerto Rico. They are very proud of
where they are from. I see parades on TV and flags on their cars. Yet they are
here in America and NOT in Puerto Rico. So there must be some reason they don't
like it there otherwise they wouldn't be here”.
Through this
comment we can note that the Puerto Ricans are very proud from where they are.
No matter where we are we always let the people know that we are from Puerto
Rico, and we say it with pride. Personally when I went to New York once, I saw
a car that had stickers and flags of Puerto Rico and that was something that
made me filled proud. Finally about the last sentence of the comment, the only
thing that I have to say is that in Puerto Rico things are not good economically
and most of the people go the United States searching for a better life; but
what people don’t know or realize is that most of that people come back to the
island because they noticed that there life was not the expected. Therefore
that doesn’t mean that they don’t like the island. Finally what it can be say
of the person who wrote the comment is that he felt that pride and honor of the
Puerto Rican in America. For example the National Puerto Rican Parade. The
National Puerto Rican Parade takes place annually along Fifth Avenue in
Manhattan, on the second Sunday in June, in honor of the nearly 4 million
inhabitants and over 4 million of people of Puerto Rican birth or heritage
residing in the United States. Therefore, this is a visible demonstration of
the strength of the Puerto Rican community in the U.S.A. In my opinion the mission of
the parade is to emphasize the achievements made by thousands of Puerto Ricans
in business, government, and industry to inspire our youth and instill a strong
sense of self worth and pride in our community.
