Many also spoke of their great love and appreciation for the family, culture and history in the countries from which they came.<\/p>\n<p>The instructor\u00a0decided to help his students learn to embrace both their new lives and the ones they may have left behind by writing letters to their great-great-grandchildren 100 years in the future. Each student wrote two letters. The first described where they came from &#8211; their struggles, strengths and dreams in their home countries.
