He said to me one evening in March 1956: “Carmel, the gal that I have been telling you about has arrived, and I do not want anyone else to get her hands in friendship except you. Come with me and let us go to the home where she is living.” When we arrived at the house at 61 Alma Road, Wandsworth SW18, he said: “Let me ring the door bell and you stay behind me”, and so I did, my heart beating so fast that I started cold sweating. Then someone opened the door and I saw this beautiful pretty girl at the end of the corridor in the kitchen, and suddenly I exclaimed: “Jesus Christ, Master D. See my wife there. See my wife there.” Then he whispered: “That is the gal me carry you here to see.” My heart is still beating 4:1 (Wim-bi di-bam). I did not know that the Lord God was working out my purpose until one night in 1962, which I will tell you about further on in my story. To Ive I say thank you for making my life what it has been. For, without you, I could and would not be who I am. To the good and great Lord God of heaven, I say thank you for choosing such a wonderful person with whom I should share the rest of my life as a soul mate.

Immigrant life
This book is dedicated to my parents who made the utmost sacrifice and supported me in my journey to the United States at the age of 15. Without my two loving parents I would not be where I am today; a tenured High School History Teacher working in the most impoverished neighborhood in New York City, the South Bronx, where I help students that dropped out of high school achieve their goal and receive a high school diploma. The reason that I feel like I am in the right place for my job is because just like these "lost" students, I was going through a tough transition myself as I left my impoverished 3rd world country and decided to embark on a journey by myself across the ocean for a better opportunity. The toughest students are sometimes the best ones because they either have a goal in mind and they want to succeed, or they are not ready and are very honest with themselves and their teacher and decided that education is not in their cards at that moment of time. I feel that these students are marginalized from society because of their socioeconomic status and it is important that they realize that there is light at the end of tunnel, just like for me my parents decided to leave their pretty cushy jobs to try and support me and my brother in the United States. That is why I decided to publish this book, to show that in each of one there is hope for a better future and we must take in account that life will not always be easy and will throw unexpected moments our way.

Only Daughter Sandra Cisneros from Latina Womens Voic.docx
Only Daughter
Sandra Cisneros
from Latina: Women's Voices From the Borderlands. Edited by Lillian Castillo-Speed. New York:
Touchstone/Simon & Schuster, 1995.
Once, several years ago, when I was
just starting out my writing career, I was
asked to write my own contributor’s note for
an anthology1 I was part of. I wrote: “I am the
only daughter in a family of six sons. That
explains everything.”
Well, I’ve thought about that ever
since, and yes, it explains a lot to me, but for
the reader’s sake I should have written: “I am
the only daughter in a Mexican family of six
sons.” Or even: “I am the only daughter of a
Mexican father and a Mexican-American
mother.” Or: “I am the only daughter of a
working-class family of nine.” All of these
had everything to do with who I am today.
I was/am the only daughter and only a
daughter. Being an only daughter in a family
of six sons forced me by circumstance to
spend a lot of time by myself because my
brothers felt it beneath them to play with a
girl in public. But that aloneness, that
loneliness, was good for a would-be writer—
it allowed me time to think and think, to
imagine, to read and prepare myself.
Being only a daughter for my father
meant my destiny would lead me to become
someone’s wife. That’s what he believed. But
when I was in the fifth grade and shared my
plans for college with him, I was sure he
understood. I remember my father saying,
“Que bueno, mi’ha, that’s good.” That meant a
lot to me, especially since my brothers
thought the idea hilarious. What I didn’t
realize was that my father thought college
was good for girls—good for finding a
husband. After four years in college and two
more in graduate school, and still no
husband, my father shakes his head even
now and says I wasted all that education.
In retrospect2, I’m lucky my father
believed daughters were meant for husbands.
1 anthology: collection of stories and other literature in a
book.
2 retrospect: thinking about things in the past
It meant it didn’t matter if I majored in
something silly like English. After all, I’d find a
nice professional eventually, right? This allowed
me the liberty to putter about embroidering3 my
little poems and stories without my father
interrupting with so much as a “What’s that
you’re writing?”
But the truth is, I wanted him to
interrupt. I wanted my father to understand
what it was I was scribbling, to introduce me as
“My only daughter, the writer.” Not as “This is
only my daughter. She teaches.” Es maestra—
teacher. Not even profesora.
In a sense, everything I have ever written
has been for him, to win his approval even
though I know my father can’t read English
words, even though my father’s only reading
includes the brown-ink Esto sports magazines
from Mexico City and the bloody ¡Alarma!
magazines that feature yet another sighting of La
Virgen de Guadalupe on a to.

Only Daughter
Sandra Cisneros
from Latina: Women's Voices From the Borderlands. Edited by Lillian Castillo-Speed. New York:
Touchstone/Simon & Schuster, 1995.
Once, several years ago, when I was
just starting out my writing career, I was
asked to write my own contributor’s note for
an anthology1 I was part of. I wrote: “I am the
only daughter in a family of six sons. That
explains everything.”
Well, I’ve thought about that ever
since, and yes, it explains a lot to me, but for
the reader’s sake I should have written: “I am
the only daughter in a Mexican family of six
sons.” Or even: “I am the only daughter of a
Mexican father and a Mexican-American
mother.” Or: “I am the only daughter of a
working-class family of nine.” All of these
had everything to do with who I am today.
I was/am the only daughter and only a
daughter. Being an only daughter in a family
of six sons forced me by circumstance to
spend a lot of time by myself because my
brothers felt it beneath them to play with a
girl in public. But that aloneness, that
loneliness, was good for a would-be writer—
it allowed me time to think and think, to
imagine, to read and prepare myself.
Being only a daughter for my father
meant my destiny would lead me to become
someone’s wife. That’s what he believed. But
when I was in the fifth grade and shared my
plans for college with him, I was sure he
understood. I remember my father saying,
“Que bueno, mi’ha, that’s good.” That meant a
lot to me, especially since my brothers
thought the idea hilarious. What I didn’t
realize was that my father thought college
was good for girls—good for finding a
husband. After four years in college and two
more in graduate school, and still no
husband, my father shakes his head even
now and says I wasted all that education.
In retrospect2, I’m lucky my father
believed daughters were meant for husbands.
1 anthology: collection of stories and other literature in a
book.
2 retrospect: thinking about things in the past
It meant it didn’t matter if I majored in
something silly like English. After all, I’d find a
nice professional eventually, right? This allowed
me the liberty to putter about embroidering3 my
little poems and stories without my father
interrupting with so much as a “What’s that
you’re writing?”
But the truth is, I wanted him to
interrupt. I wanted my father to understand
what it was I was scribbling, to introduce me as
“My only daughter, the writer.” Not as “This is
only my daughter. She teaches.” Es maestra—
teacher. Not even profesora.
In a sense, everything I have ever written
has been for him, to win his approval even
though I know my father can’t read English
words, even though my father’s only reading
includes the brown-ink Esto sports magazines
from Mexico City and the bloody ¡Alarma!
magazines that feature yet another sighting of La
Virgen de Guadalupe on a to.

Along with her son Eros, she runs the ultimate matchmaking business, influencing relationships and trends throughout history across all borders and cultures.

The Colapesce legend originates from 12th century southern Italy and tells the story of Nicola, nicknamed Colapesce for his ability to move in the sea. Colapesce spent all his time diving and exploring the sea, bringing back treasures, which annoyed his mother who cursed him to become like a fish. Over time his skin became scaly and his hands and feet like fins. King Roger tested Colapesce's abilities, having him retrieve objects from the sea, until asking him to bring back fire he saw underneath Sicily, which consumed Colapesce when he dove down to support a cracked sea column and save his beloved land from collapsing.

The myth of scylla and charybdis
Scylla and Charybdis were mythical sea monsters from Greek mythology. Scylla was originally a nymph that was transformed into a six-headed sea monster by the sorceress Circe. Charybdis was a greedy girl who was transformed by Zeus into a whirlpool monster for stealing oxen from Heracles. Scylla and Charybdis lived on opposite sides of the narrow Strait of Messina, making it impossible for ships to pass between them without encountering one monster or the other. The dangers they posed gave rise to the saying "between Scylla and Charybdis," meaning facing two equally dangerous options.
The myth of arethusa and alpheus
The document summarizes the Greek myth of Arethusa and Alpheus. Arethusa was a nymph beloved of the goddess Artemis. Alpheus, the son of the sea god, fell in love with Arethusa. While swimming, Arethusa was frightened by Alpheus' advances and fled, eventually calling on Artemis for help. Artemis turned Arethusa into a spring, transporting her to the island of Ortygia in Sicily. Alpheus turned himself into a river to follow her, digging an underground channel from Greece to Sicily so that his waters could mix with those of the Arethusa spring, reuniting him with his lover.
Sirens

According to Homer, there were originally two sirens located between islands in the western Mediterranean. Later authors mentioned there being three sirens located near Naples, Italy.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
