College for all Essay
My Goals in life Maria Cruz
Period 4
I was born in Mexico and most of my family comes from Mexico too. I have been living in Oakland for almost then 10 years.I have lived in 26 avenue for 10 years.I have a family of 9 my parent, brother, sisters, niece, nephew ,and brother in law.I could describe my family as kind and caring.I chose those two words because they are always taking care of us and when we are having problems they are their for you and to support you.My family is very united we celebrate every holiday together and are always helping each other.How can i describe my neighborhood well read on and find out.
In one part my community is friendly because they help out the community in many ways.One way they help out the community is when theirs someone in trouble they help them out.My community has good opportunities because their are some good public schools and some good colleges.Oakland also has some good after school programs that help teenagers stay away from gangs and drugs.Some after school programs that schools have is soccer,basketball,hip hop,and etc.My community might have some problems that could be fixed if everybody agreed to help out and fix them.One problem in my commuinty is gangs if the community helped out by calling the police when the gang members are smoking weed that would make them stay away from our neighborhood.But except that they are scared to say something and that’s why their are gang members in my community and that’s a problem that could be fixed.Their are some major issues in our community that after school programs are getting taken away from schools.Another is budget cuts because they are taking away programs for kids to be in and not be in drugs.A problem that my family is facing is unemployment because theirs no jobs.My older brother is unemployed and he has done his best to look for a job but nobody is looking for an employee.It makes my brother feel bad because he cant help out the family and he was going to work to pay for college.He just graduated and was class of 2010.So now he has to stop all his plans to go to college and look for a job and just because theirs no jobs right now. So read on and find out more.
If I went to college I would be the 2 nd generation to go because my older sister didn’t go and as I said my brother is looking for a job to go.My parents have a lot of faith in me to go to college and to have a good career.I would like to go to college because that would make my family proud and it would be a new expierence for me to be in college.But my goal is to go to a university and get a career as a nurse.My dad’s goal for me is to go to college and to graduate and have a career that would help me get a job.So we don’t have suffer like he did when he was a teen he didn’t have the chance to go to school.He wants the best for us and to be successful in life when he didn’t have the chance too.To me its very important to make my dad’s goal’s come true because he has done his best to give us the best he can.I also want to be successful and my dreams to come true.
To me college is important because it helps you get a good job and it also makes your family proud.I want to go to college because I want to experience new things in life .I want to go to a university or a college that’s out of Oakland because it’s a new experience and a risk i need to take.It’s a risk because it could work out for me to go out of Oakland and it could be a bad thing because it could not work.I want to go to college for all because I want to know how its to be in college.I also want to know how its to be in college.So that’s a little about ME.

It’s my belief that slavery should really come to an end. I think it should come to an end because everyone needs to have their freedom. As a white women who’s restricted from many rights I can relate to slaves because we all need to be treated equal. From all of the things I’m restricted from I feel like I’m not free to be like others since men have more rights than we do. I also think slavery should end because its unfair that slave owners are happily living their lives while slaves are not enjoying theirs. As you can see slavery needs to come to an end for once !
~A young dream
Let everyone be free and be who they are.
Independence is what everyone needs to who they can be who they are
Because am a young latina doesn’t mean Ican’t be free
Education is what everyone needs to be someone in life!
Right’s to vote and to be who want to be i life
Treated equal as everyone else in the world
Young people need to be treated and be who they are.
Let everyone be free and be who they are.
Independence is what everyone needs to who they can be who they are
Because am a young latina doesn’t mean Ican’t be free
Education is what everyone needs to be someone in life!
Right’s to vote and to be who want to be i life
Treated equal as everyone else in the world
Young people need to be treated and be who they are.

mAsk poem
We wear masks to hide our lies.
It hides our real feelings that we don't show.
All we can do is give a smile and make everyone think everything is great.
But when your alone you let all those feelings go.
All you can say to your self is "everything is gong to be OK."
"Am here for, " you is what a friend tells you when they see you cry.
Tears are what i felt as they rolled down my face .
Do we all wear the mask "only in front of friends ,family and everyone.
All that I wish is to be myself!!!!!!!!!!!!

....SoLo pOrQuE SoY MeXIcAn,LaTiNa,Y MicHoAcAn!!!!
Just because I'm Mexican,
Doesn't mean I'm going to drop out of high school!!!
It also doesn't mean I'm going to get F's on my report card.
And it doesn't mean am going to be fighting in the streets
Just because am Michoacana,Just
Doesn't mean I'm going to be drinking patron,buchana's and hennesy's!!!
It also doesn't mean I'm going to do pill's or weed.
And it also doesn't mean am going to kill my own people.
Just because I'm Latina, Doesn't mean I'm an illegal person in the USA
It also doesn't mean am poor and cant afford what other people can!!!
And just I'm Mexican,Latina.and Mexicana doesn't mean am not going to be successful in life
What would life be without Mexican's
What is the diffrence between rich and poor ?
Why does anyone care!!!

'' Ay mija '' is what I would hear when I got in trouble and my uncle knew!!!
Corona is what I would see every time he drank.
Cologne is what I would smell as he walked out the house !!!
All I would hear is his voice as he sang.
His CD is what I would hear as it played.
A very valuable memory I have is when we went to LA to record his very first CD
A suite is what he will always wear when he went to a presentation!!!
" I miss you ," is what I would tell him if eh came back.
All I want is for you to come back!!!
