oppression

Other people that are responsible for continuing this type of oppression are drug dealers and also when your friends offer you any type of drug or alcohol. Drug dealers are responsible for putting our community in danger because they are doing illegal things .

    This is a type of oppression because drug dealers don’t care if they sale drugs to minors. Drug dealers just sale drugs and only think about their money instead of thinking what can happen to the person who is doing the drug or how it can affect their lives. Friends that offer you drugs or alcohol can be described as oppressive because if they offer you drugs or alcohol constantly you can get over dozed and end up in a hospital or die. You can also become an addict to alcohol or drugs. People that use drugs or alcohol and are drunk or high may feel pain in their heads because they alcohol or drugs are killing brain cells and doesn’t let your brain send messages to your body.

Colleqe fOr all essay




One word that best describes my school is supportive. My school is supportive because when we have bad grades they make us do many things like make us stay after school, have special programs, and keep us on track with our grades. They also make us persevere when we are giving up on something. One great opportunity i had in school was being able to go to Washington D.C last year and also going camping in the beginning of the 7th grade.

One of my biggest struggles in school of all the times I got in trouble was  when I was in the six grade and me and three of my other friends were tagging in school property. We were in an after school program and an adult was with us. She saw us tagging and she was video taping us. She never told us to stop doing that or anything she was kind of encouraging us to do that. The school found out that we were tagging because some kinds from Achieve Academy told Ms.Bayardo and Ms.Bayardo told Mr.Guikema  then they came to us and we got in big trouble. They were checking everything that we had tagged and looked through our backpacks looking for the sharpies. We went to the office and we had to tell them the whole story and our parents got called. We had gotten a culture form and two week community service and also a long talk with our parents at home. The way I handled this problem was by saying the truth. This incident changed me because I haven’t tagged in any school property again. I took the action of saying the truth because if I lied I would have gotten in more trouble.

I think that college is a great opportunity to get the job you always wanted and to win money. No one of my family has went to college because in Mexico there wasn't enough money for them to go. College will connect to my family because I am going to be the first one in my family to be able to go college.

liberation




Individuals can liberate themselves by talking to their families about the problems that they have. Their parents can help them find programs that help people who are addicted to drugs. Their parents can also go through the steps with them so they would be able to gain more confidence. Individuals can incorporate joy into their lives by stop warring about getting drunk or getting high and they can enjoy things that they loved to do before like sports dancing or being with   their families. They can also incorporate joy by letting  go of all the bad things that have happened to then in the past. To enjoy the new things that will come up in their lives. We all must try and help all the people who are falling into addiction and the ones that are already addicts. We can help them in many ways like talking to them to taking them to a rehab would help them because there, they are offered help and things they can do that will keep them away from drugs and alcohol. We can also recommend them to stop hanging out with people who will offer them drugs and alcohol.

Freedom Poem

Freedom


Bells the sound of freedom

Sounds so beautiful but almost impossible to be real

Im too far away captured witout a choice

Im sentanced to walk this deadful path

The stones in my back are heavier than me that i can’t feel

My throat burns with a red fire

Without water or food
