Dia de los muertos poem

He was a man that made life for everyone change,
a man that never gave up on what he believed in he inspired a lot of people to make good changes
what he did that was really helpful was that he united people to like each other for the way they are and not the way they look,
he is the reason why black and white people are together now with no racism between them
I bet that the person who shot him regrets it cause you never did nothing wrong just help and that's nothing wrong,
one day I wish to make a huge change ust like you did because you are my hero and a lot of people to
your memory will always be in our hearts


To You,
Marthin Luther king JR.

I am

I am a person who doesn't give up
who cares about the people she is surrounded from
a person that would rather die for her family than let them die

I am Mexican and I would never change were I am from
that even tough I am not living there my heart will always be by my country
who wishes nothing more than to go back to her country to see the people she loves

I am a dreamer who wishes to go to college
that one day I can be some one important in life
that my family would feel so  proud of me for making all my wishes come true

I am an outgoing person that is always going to fight for my own rights
never going to give up on what I wish for
to prove that I am a good example for my family

but most of all,
I am a student here at Urban Promise Academy that soon is going to graduate,
and make all her wishes come true and no one is going to stop me.

my america

Millions of people come for a better life
Young people trying to have a better education in life

Amazing opportunities 
Millions of beautiful new places to go to
Earning scholarships to go to college 
Rich to poor people everyone is the same
Immigrants all over the country
Cultures to study about
An opportunity to star all over

The mask

Why do we wear masks?
Do we hice our fears?
Or do we hide our ethnicity?
You should never hide who you are
The mask that you wear it only lies to yourself and others

Why do we wear the mask?
Do we feel safe with the mask?
If we do who what makes us unsafe?
The only thing you hide from others is yogur true feelings

Why do we wear the mask?
It only hides who we realy are
Is never going to help us to express ourselfs and others
If masks dont help us why do we wear them....?

refection on college for all

       College for all was a an amazing experience that my school provide for the whole 8th grade.What I liked the most about college for all was that I got to visit some of the colleges and even met college students. My favorite college to go was Santa Cruz,what I liked about it was that it had a lot of trees and it looked like a secret forest and that only few people know about. It also seems like a peaceful school that everyone gets along with each other. What I also like about it is that Santa Cruz is that it gives every new student a change to go to college no matter were you come from or or who you are. 


      The other colleges are also good but what I didn't like about it is that is to crowded and it doesn't seem like a school were people get to relax have a moment to them selfs n concentrate on what they are doing. thats mostly it but one thing is for sure is that when I get to go to college I would like to go to Santa Cruz.

Actions

           Our school can gain liberations from theses forms of oppressions by going to talk to a counselor, or a teacher when a student has a problem at school or home. Another way we can gain liberation is to go to a rehab center,a place were people can help you to liberate from alcohol and drugs. The school should have more order and be more strict with bulling at school. As a community and family what we can do is support them and know that people with problems with alcohol and drugs can always count on us. What I can do to recommend is to first of all to always get help from a person you trust the most.

All about me

         I am a very shy girl who  likes to be with her friends. Sometimes it is hard for me to be an outgoing person but after I try new things I start liking them more and that makes me feel afterwords that I am able to do a lot of things that my mind and body are scare to do. What I like to do even tough I don't do it as often is to travel so far my favorite place to visit and I would like to go again is Washington DC. When I grow up what I would like to do the most is to travel to Mexico n every state of the United States. My favorite color is purple and every and I'm crazy for purple if you go to my room you will find everything color purple.The only thing for sure that I would do for anything is my family my family is everything to me they are always next to me when I need them the most. My favorite holiday to celebrate is my birthday even tough for the whole world is not a special holiday for them for me and my family is a special day. What makes me the most proud of my self is the roots that I have of being Mexican. Well thats most about me and I hope you have learn something about me.
