[Applause]

[Music]

[Music] [Applause]

[Music] [Applause] that was a great show thank you and we

wish to thank you for coming on stage and performing with us sure do all the audience's react the

same way we've traveled to many different places and done performances for all kinds of people it's wonderful

to see them all enjoying that same moment of belief knowing that something cannot be yet seeing it happen right

before their eyes and that's why we enjoy doing the show so much sure looks like real magic Hikari and

zooming Jango Japanese magicians came to the United States with many other Asians

bringing their skills and their culture

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music] [Applause] [Music]

[Applause] [Music]

[Music]

if you've ever moved you know what it's like to leave your old home and go to a

new place everything is very different and strange you have to sleep in a new room and

maybe go to a new school you even have to make new friends

now imagine what it must be like to move from one country to another

[Music] a big move like that coming to a new country to live is called immigration

every day new people immigrants are coming to live in this country and this

has been going on for a long long time

in fact the families of many people who now live in the United States came as

immigrants from all parts of the world

Michelle come here I want to show you

something

look what I found I haven't seen these pictures in years now take a look at

this who do you think this is well it's me when I was a little child that was

taken a long time ago when I still lived in the old country in Luxembourg before

I emigrated to the United States of America [Music] if you think we're making a big move now

you should have been around for that one

whenever people emigrate they bring things with them Furniture closed even

favorite toys over the years immigrants have brought many things to this country

and not just things that came in boxes or suitcases they also brought ideas an

immigrant from the Caribbean invented a machine that revolutionized the shoe industry an immigrant from Scotland

invented the telephone immigrants also brought new words which became a part of

our language rodeo is from Mexico hurricane came from the Taino Indians of

Puerto Rico and kindergarten is from

Germany they also brought some of their ways of life like the birthday cake

that's a custom first introduced here by immigrants all around us are things we

may think are American but they were actually brought here by immigrants many

of us can trace our roots back to immigrants and all of us with our different backgrounds have a part in

making the United States the interesting place we do at first I felt like a

stranger everything was so hard at first a whole new language to learn finding a

place to live and work even the money was different but now it feels like home

and so will this place to you pretty soon it's difficult for anyone to be an

immigrant and the newcomers have not always been welcomed even by those who were immigrants before them but it

doesn't have to be so hard just by remembering what it's like to move into

a new and strange place maybe you can understand and help someone else feel

more at home [Music]

to introduce you to some

people [Music]

I'm Eddie and this is my pitbull Nigel I take him everywhere even to the

playground a new girl just moved in down the block I wonder what she liked hey Carl looks

like we might not have enough for a game of rock [Applause]

hey Eddie does that new girl tell you about come on right now not in the

middle of the game hi Kevin new girl just moved next door to me right yes do

you like the house are you going to Kimberly don't you say anything beside

yes I was just watching you play can I have a play with you she wants to join

our game do you play basketball in Jamaica it is called netball and only

women and girl play netball I love good centre-forward oh we're playing an American sport called basketball it is

absolutely the same game in the West Indies your grass skirts and do the limbo all the time hey what's your name

Charmaine Charmaine one said you do live in treehouses don't you how do you get up those two guests do you swing through

the air like Tarzan why does your teacher not teach you things about

Jamaica so you would not be access any questions they are silly aren't they don't pay any attention to them how

about food what type of things do you do you eat snakes snakes yeah snakes like

this one how beautiful do you all I'm sure well I can tell you death the

children in Jamaica are much more polite and friendly you would be welcome there

hey wait a minute Charmaine honey what's

the matter hello we going back home home to Jamaica darling you know we've just arrived here

and daddy and I have to take up our teaching assignments we can't go home what's wrong

charmander's doesn't look at home sick she'll get her moving tell me what's wrong it's the children they laugh at

the way I speak and everything that is Jamaican I will never have any friends okay that is too drastic hi Charmaine oh

yes Charmaine these two young men wish to speak to you hi sorry we just came

over to apologize we thought you might be upset yeah II when we start teasing you about your accent yeah and kids

around here aren't that bad you must realize that besides we're neighbors yeah and you're just as welcome here as

you were at home in Jamaica well I'm certainly glad that got straightened out see boys it's only a matter of time till

you get to know people from different backgrounds you're better able to get along with them agreed right right this

gives me an idea Charmaine might like to invite some of her friends her new neighbors where I

can make a nice Jamaican dish I could make rice and peas some curried goat

fried plantains and green bananas I think the children would like that that

will be great but who will come well if me and any comes then everybody

else comes yeah we know everybody around here we will get Tarzan what's-his-face

yeah how many people do you need I can see it

only eight at my table Holly yeah come on get them wha Oh you pick out all the kids

today down there no he was in the pillowcase this is Charmaine's house isn't it yeah

you think she put a hex on Nigel what's a hex you know like a curse which cried rich grabber I don't think she could do

that it's maybe she's still mad at us we can't just go up to her and say give me back my snake I know you got it I know

you put a hex on I know we can't do that hey wait a minute she's having a party right hey yeah if she took it can we go

to the party to search the house it might be too late it's probably part of the menu but we just can't go in there

all that of course but how did Nigel get here yeah Eddie look what I found

there myself this is Nigel's pillow case more evidence I have no idea how it got there

you must believe me mother I remember picking up a pillow case from the this morning was it in Virgil's driveway

I suppose it was Eddie well Nigel must have crawled out of it well then I guess we'll just put it up for Nigel and right

now I'm going to dish up this term Aiken dinner so let's all sit down to eat

making fun of the way I talked they kept saying out of funny northern accent how

would you feel if someone made fun of the way you spoke I would feel bad cuz

that's the way I taught me I'd feel fine I wouldn't care I don't feel angry cuz

panelists remember you have ten seconds to name the mystery job you can confer

yeah hands off buzzing yes Bob airplane pilot

that's right the job is the Air Force Thunderbird pilot congratulations memory carries like school you won the big job

you may think flying at high speeds is fun while it is but it also takes a lot of training and hard work so let's take

a look at our film of captain Lloyd Newton who flies with United States Air Force Thunderbirds max roll it

hello I'm captain Lloyd Newton of the United States Air Force Aero demonstration team the Thunderbirds on

the team we fly with a formation a group of four and also with a single solo who perform the Maxima for most capabilities

of the aircraft the Thunderbirds are select group of Air Force personnel who are responsible for putting on aerial

demonstrations throughout the United States and many of our foreign Allied countries since my childhood I've always

wanted to be a pilot so in college I majored in aviation education and through the Reserve Officers Training

Corps I was commissioned an officer in the United States Air Force the greatest

thing about being a pilot the fact that you've got this big massive piece of equipment and you can take that equipment and do with it what you want

to do with in other words it's not gonna fly you you're gonna fly yet three two

one OOP 935 okay how's the weather giant okay the weather today is 12 degrees for

takeoff pressure altitude is 1450 winds 360 we fly usually twice a day and each

flight is preceded by flight briefing during this time the commander can explain to us exactly what each the

formations are gonna be like and then each EMA has an opportunity to discuss his actual function during that

particular flight teamwork not only can work here with the Thunderbirds I can work in almost any phase of life you go

in and with this particular group it takes everybody to make this organization function so the teamwork

here is most important we trained very hard for this type position flying who perform aerobatics

and very close formation sometime one on top of the other and most of the time less than three feet apart a mistake

here by any one of the memos can be fatal for all of us yeah can we do go

through a quick see previous surgery this is how safety training area no we

must come over here every 90 days to go through this particular training we practice and we brush up on the latest

safety procedures the most important thing is to know how to evacuate the aircraft if the need arises all right

sir you're flying along you have double engine failure and total ectric failure eject I'm also the operations officer

for the thumb abhart which means that I'm responsible for coordinating all flying activities of the year show

[Music] I think the most rewarding thing after

doing air show would be the expressions and the compliments that you get from the people that you have just performed

your heart out for you've just given it all you really had I'm very proud to be a member of the Air Force Thunderbirds

but as I reflect back I remember that it wasn't very easy to become a pilot and I did make the team the first time I

applied but I feel what's important is that I didn't give up when I was finally selected I was very happy of course and

I kind of keep this philosophy and everything I do don't ever give up just keep on trying

[Music] boy that's sure an exciting job I wonder

if I could do that max I think you could do anything

I'm thirsty think I'll help myself no Kronos now of

my right little man I want the oil that's in the can the best laid plans

may go estranged but every dog will have his day don't you worry I will return

and when I do that max will burn Wow

maybe he'll meet captain Newton out there maybe he'll go into orbit I hope

not it's better if he's down on earth so we can keep a close eye on him happy

landing spoil sport it's award time here in the big job hunt and our grand prize

the max trophy goes to the Marie Curie Eastside school

[Applause] and to our fine runners up south in

school here's our consolation price the minimax trophy
