A strange request

[exsequar]

So, darling flist, I have something to ask of you. I have an assignment for my race in America class for tomorrow which is to give a four-minute presentation about our ancestry and how they came to live in America, and their experiences on that journey. However, my history is extremely boring - they came over from Scotland, the end. And that's just one quarter of my background! I have no clue about the rest of it, and no way of figuring it out.

SO! Here's where you come in. We're allowed to adopt someone else's ancestry to report to the class if ours is too boring. It's best if we can relate it to the topics we've been studying, which cover a broad range of themes throughout history, from colonization to the Chinese Exclusion Act, and everything in between. So I want you to tell me your stories! Do you have an interesting, colorful ancestry? I'd love if you would share it with me. Just a general picture, something that can be explained briefly and simply. I can leave your name unconnected with it if you prefer. You can either comment here, or email me at starlight1013@gmail.com. Either way, I might have some questions for you, and I'd like if you could answer them tonight, since it's... due tomorrow. Oops.

I'd really appreciate your help! A lot! Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! :)

I take it all back! I just talked to my daddy and my history is definitely interesting enough to fill four minutes, and it's best to go with my own story anyway, since I have more than a vague sense of it. Thank you so much to all you that replied! ♥
