Journal write

My group area of study is segregation, segregation is people that decide that they shouldn't be near people who aren't the same color skin. Some different individuals that are being oppressed by. Some oppression is Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, and other people with black skin that were discriminated. Some other individuals are Mexicans because they wanted mexicans to leave some states. And black people by not drinking, schools, ans buses.They wanted to make a point that everyone should and be treated equally as others that are liked. I think this is truly liberate because people have their own rights and opinions.

Expo reflection

I think that Expo was great because we new what to do and we practiced a little in class and that's why I think I did great.  I also think that it went great because we had a lot of opinions in our circle. Some deltas that I think we can improve is speaking in a loud voice so everyone can hear you in the circle, learn and practice my scrips, help my group when their stuck on something, have everyone in the circle say something even when they don't want to, help the people if their stuck on something or need help explaining ourselves. Other than that i think we did great on expo. 

COLLEGE FOR ALL:PATTY BARAJAS

A word that best describes my family is caring because they care that I need to make it to college. My community is very dangerous because there is a lot of shooting and killing in Oakland. In my school there is a lot of education, however it has violence around it. Some opportunities I have in my community are education, playing soccer, and spending time with good people and friends. One major is issue is the fear that my family is constantly in danger in the community we live in. I am afraid because of the violence and gangs in Oakland. I hear that so many people are being killed by so many gangs. I fear that something might happen to my family and they wont be able to support me. I like my community but i kind of afraid of it because every time i walk or go to a place i always hear an ambulance. That’s why i always fear around my community.  

Some aspirations or dreams I have are to go to college to help my parents with whatever they will need. I want to be a professional soccer player and hope to play on a college team. I also want to be a nurse so that I can help others be healthy and have a good life. In college I want to learn how little kids develop down syndrome and autism. I want to study about down syndrome and autism because my brother has syndrome and autism he got it when he was 6 months old. My family was very scared because we thought that he might die. But know we have him do different things to help him develop himself. When we walk him some people stare at him like if he was a stupid kid not being like others. I’m proud that my brother, i don’t care if people think bad of him. My mom hire these two people to help my brother in what he needs to improve on.I think that my brother will improve and move on because i belive in him.I chose this because I want to accomplish my dreams and to make my family proud in the future.

College means to me, having a great career. College relates to my family by everyone going to college and being successful in my life. College will connect to my family because we all need to be someone in our lives and I want to help my parents the way they helped me.

POEM

We fight to the Outer freedom
We cry for the Inner freedom
With the Outer freedom we see
And rule the 4 corners Of the
Globe with the inner freedom
we see the soul and become
The goal of the entire universe
