Lingering+Questions

I have only a few lingering questions for this Cuban-American Family and our society... If Christina estimates within the first five years a blending of cultures generally occurs, then I wonder where they see themselves in the next ten years. Will any of them still speak Spanish or even “funny English” as Julietta calls it? Will the girls have children that can even speak Spanish at all or will they continue to integrate more English into their lives? What about the grandchildren? How many generations before they speak no more of Cuba or the ride over on a boat? What will our American society look like in the next ten years? Will our classrooms reflect our society or will some educators still try to assimilate the masses of students? How long will it be before our individual cultures are celebrated instead of looked down upon or ignored as they often are today?
