America is the ultimate melting pot of talent, of culture, of everything that is different quilted into one. It is the amalgamation of myriads of independently working parts, each performing well defined and specific functions crucial to the maintenance and advancement of the nation. This wonderful collection of variety creates opportunities that are limitless in nature. It allows a certain form of individualism to emerge that is based not only on one’s determination to succeed, but also on the selection of specific areas in which to excel. Simply put, America is what it is today because of our labor. In turn, the country rewards us with numerous possibilities to succeed and achieve great dreams. Success, however, is not haphazardly obtained. Like most things in life that are dear, it comes with a price tag.

A friend of mine called me and proposed to go watch a game among Haitians at a park not too far away from my house. It was 6:00pm when I got there. By the way, 6:00pm is a good time for most Haitian amateur soccer players to get back from work. I started my joyous evening there by hearing the Haitians talking very loud and arguing about all kinds of things. It was 7:55pm They couldn't reach an agreement as to when to play and who plays where. Viewing Such great chaos (excuse me), I decided it was time for me to leave. The following Friday I went to the park at the same time and I noticed that there were Latinos playing in the next field over. I stopped there for a minute to watch their game. I then started thinking: what is wrong with us?
