The immigrant population reflects the system's lack of emphasis on skill. Nearly 31 percent of foreign-born residents over the age of 25 are without a high school diploma, compared to just 10 percent of native-born citizens. Immigrants trail natives in rates of college attendance, associate's degrees, and bachelor's degrees, but earn advanced degrees at a slightly higher rate (10.9 percent, compared to 10.4 percent for natives). Illegal immigrants are the least-educated group, with nearly 75 percent having at most a high school education.

The skills that I have acquired before can be integrated into my new legal career.

Out of a small amount of people, I have a few that have bad attitudes and bad beliefs (D.W. Sue & Sue, 1990; 2008). When I was a social worker, I tried not to have favoritism or bias toward either of the cultures that I was dealing with at the time. Many counselors are unaware of their racial/ethnic favoritism as well as their bias.
In the 1950s Danny decided to fulfill his pledge, so began the fundraising efforts. Danny and with the support of local business leaders took several years to raise the money to build the hospital.

It was 2008 when I began high school at Mission High School in San Francisco, California. My mom and I moved to San Francisco a year prior so we could be closer to my uncle, who was undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer. The school year started out like any ordinary school year for a newcomer. I was the new kid who didn’t really know anyone.
