0 Comments

 
A video created by Spanish in the Community at the University of Florida, SPN 3948 Otoño (Fall) 2023 Dentro de la historia estadounidense, los veteranos hispanos han escrito una crónica de valentía, sacrificio y dedicación. Estos hombres y mujeres, con resolución inquebrantable, han dejado un legado que enriquece la esencia de nuestra nación, una herencia construida a través de generaciones. La comunidad hispana ha tenido una profunda influencia, dando forma a la diversidad de nuestra sociedad. En los sacrificios de estos veteranos, vemos la encarnación de valores arraigados en el servicio, el honor y un compromiso constante con un mañana mejor. Al reflexionar sobre sus historias, extendemos nuestro agradecimiento más profundo a estos héroes que han vestido el uniforme, siendo faros de fuerza y unidad. A aquellos que han allanado el camino y a los que seguirán, les agradecemos por su servicio. En memoria de mi esposo, Juan José San Juan Pereira, quien sirvió con honor en la Fuerza Naval estadounidense por más de 30 años, rendimos homenaje a su valioso legado. Agradecemos a todos, incluyendo a los futuros miembros de nuestras Fuerzas Armadas, por su servicio y sacrificio. Este es un tributo al pasado, un reconocimiento al presente y un agradecimiento sincero a aquellos que continúan defendiendo la libertad de nuestra nación. ---Sonia M. San Juan

Translation Within American history, Hispanic veterans have written a chronicle of courage, sacrifice, and dedication. These men and women, with unwavering resolution, have left a legacy that enriches the essence of our nation, a heritage built through generations.

Reflecting on their stories, we extend our deepest gratitude to these heroes who have donned the uniform, serving as beacons of strength and unity. To those who have paved the way and those who will follow, we thank you for your service. In memory of my husband, Juan José San Juan Pereira, who served with honor in the United States Navy for over 30 years, we pay tribute to his valuable legacy. We appreciate everyone, including future members of our Armed Forces, for their service and sacrifice. This is a tribute to the past, a recognition of the present, and a sincere thank you to those who continue to defend the freedom of our nation.

La juventud está tan cargada de deseos, metas y esperanzas que motivan, no solo el desarrollo pleno del individuo, sino también el devenir de las comunidades. Bien sea por amor o por rebeldía, los jóvenes multiplican lo aprendido en una gama amplia de posibilidades, intentando siempre superar para bien a sus antepasados. Pero, ¿qué ocurre cuando los senderos se encaminan hacia tierras distantes, en donde la cultura y la lengua son mundos desconocidos? ¿Cuáles son las necesidades de un joven hispano que emigra por decisión de su familia? ¿Qué obstáculos enfrentan? ¿Cómo se adaptan a la nueva cultura? ¿Cómo describen esa experiencia de aprender un nuevo idioma y una nueva forma de vivir? ¿Mantienen contacto con su país de origen? ¿Cómo se cultivan las relaciones familiares en la distancia? ¿Cómo se transforma la relación que tienen con sus padres? ¡Únete a nosotros en este video para descubrir la experiencia de aprendizaje y adaptación de seis inmigrantes hispanos en los Estados Unidos!
​
Translation: Youth is so loaded with desires, goals and hopes that motivate not only the full development of the individual, but also the future of communities. Whether out of love or rebellion, young people multiply what they have learned in a wide range of possibilities, always trying to surpass their ancestors for the better. But what happens when the paths lead to distant lands, where culture and language are unknown worlds? What are the needs of a young Hispanic who emigrates because of his family's decision? What obstacles do they face? How do they adapt to the new culture? How do you describe that experience of learning a new language and a new way of living? Do you maintain contact with your country of origin? How are family relationships cultivated in the distance? How did your relationship with your parents change?

Join us in this video to discover the learning and adaptation experience of six Hispanic immigrants in the United States!

The Samuel Proctor Oral History Program and the Spanish in the Community course presents Recalculating: Culture Shock and Adaptation

12/17/2021

0 Comments

 
Immigration is a rollercoaster of ups and downs, full of uncertainties and desires, but when the journey ends, and the speed of the machine settles, there is an important decision that everyone must make: embrace the new culture, abandoning the previous life or conjugate the past, the present and the future in a new, augmented version of themselves.
​
Join us in this video to explore the experience of culture shock and adaptation of five Hispanic immigrants in the United States. We will learn about the customs and traditions that they preserve from their country of origin and which ones they have adapted from the United States.
