Dumas had trouble with the language that was spoken in America, “Since my mother and I did not speak English, the meeting consisted of a dialogue between my father and Mrs. Sandberg” (Dumas, 4).

"The film's very compelling because you've got the data, you've got experts that are very compelling, and you also see with your own eyes what's happening in classrooms and homes in other countries," says Reynolds, executive director of the American Student Achievement Institute, a non-profit based in Columbus,
As a freshman, I understood that the rigors of taking 18hrs credit hours of class work would be challenging. I thought I could handle the workload and I still believe that I could have, except that both my paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother become very ill while I attended Richmond.
