It's My Life PBS Kids Go!
Share your Immigration story with IML!

By It's My Life on April 16, 2010 2:28 PM | No TrackBacks

Right now we're hard at work on a new section of IML that'll be all about Tween Immigrants. That means anyone who was not born in the country he or she currently lives in. Many of you have already told us some great stories on the Tween Immigrants You Said It page...thank you for that! We love hearing about your backgrounds and experiences.

We're looking for a couple of IML'ers willing to tell their tales in more detail on our Tween Immigrants pages. That means we'll arrange a phone call to interview you (with a parent's permission of course), write up your comments, and ask for some photos to include on the page. We're hoping to talk not just to tweens who came to the U.S. from another country, but also people who were born in the U.S. and are currently living abroad.

Here are some examples of personal stories we've shared in the past:

Adoption: Christopher's Story

When Your Family Moves: Katie's Story

You'll see that we don't include last names or geographical details in our stories to protect the kids' privacy.

Please feel free to email us at itsmylife@pbs.org if you're interested! We'd love for you to be a part of IML in this way!
