Most people don’t remember the first time they were conscious, but I do, it’s a vivid memory, I was conscious for the first time in my life in head start. I remember running down a field in the school and thinking of how great it looks. Soon after that, I switched to Alfred F. Garcia, since the school was closer to my house. I went to that school for about Kindergarten until 2nd grade, I moved houses, so I moved to Bernard Black. I only stayed there for one year though, since I didn’t like it that well. I went back to Alfred F. Garcia for my 3rd to 8th grade years. Those times were enjoyable but dull at times. That school

Her regular middle school teachers were not going above and beyond to make sure Juanita succeed, if anything it seemed as if Juanita was a burden to them. If it was not for the Ms. Issabelle’s effort, Juanita would have failed the 6th grade, and possibly fell through the cracks of the education system.

    Nikole Hannah-Jones, the author of the article “School Segregation, the Continuing Tragedy of Ferguson,” (2014) writes about how the Normandy school district in which Ferguson students attend, ranked at the very bottom of all Missouri schools for performance. As relayed by Hannah-Jones (2014), the Normandy school district is “among the poorest and most segregated in Missouri” (p. 2).

  • Reflection Of The Movie Cesar Chavez Movie

    530 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Cesar Chavez Movie was very emotional to the point that I almost nearly cried after watching this movie. When I was watching the movie in the theaters, I actually felt like I was following with Cesar Chavez monitoring his actions throughout his long journey to fight for the rights of Mexican Farm Workers. Although the movie mainly concentrates on the period from 1965 to 1970, when Cesar Chavez led a strike of grape-farm workers that brought him into the national media glare, the Cesar Chavez movie begins by sketching the years before he landed on the cover of Time. In this movie, I learned that Cesar Chavez was not a flashy person, but actually a very reserved person. Moreover, Chavez knew what it was like to go from being an owner to being a worker in a blink of an eye. Cesar Chavez (played by Michael Pena) carries the compassion that comes from loss kind of like someone who has seen a slightly bigger picture that both his workers and union colleagues represent. Additionally, after watching this emotional movie, I learned that Ceasar dedicated his entire adult life to improving ...

    ...ents, and my English problem. I didn’t even have control of my own identity at that point. In the bilingual classroom my education depended upon the teachers and the system. I couldn’t express my viewpoints to faculty members like I do now in college. For instance, in college when I need help in a certain class, I can just go and talk to the professor or even to my counselor. Unfortunately, in grammar school, I didn’t know how to talk about the situation. As a result, in college I have been determined to change my study habits and take back control of my identity because I see how a student cannot survive with inefficient study habits. I realize now that, as a child, I was disadvantaged in many ways. Today, I have to be prepared to do extra to make up for a poor educational background by spending more time studying, focusing on school, and controlling my life.

  • Coming To America

    870 Words  | 2 Pages

    Few weeks after I got here in the United States of America, I finally started my life as an American student. My heart was beating so fast as if it was being played as drums heavily. I was panting quite ponderously, do not know what to expect. I closed my eyes as I carefully stepped outside my car, and then finally opened my eyes. It surprised me how enormous my new high school is. Not to mention, how inappropriate our school building seem to be. The architect of my new high school decided that it would be appropriate to create a phallic shaped school for high school students. Ironic, I thought. I disregarded the fact for a mere second, as I carefully entered my new school. Everything felt weird. People here were so different I thought. I felt as if I was in a box of crayon. Everyone’s color seems to vary from one another. It was such a diverse place. From blonde hair blue eyed people, to black hair slanted eye Asians, to big black afro haired, voluptuous lips Africans. “Interesting”, I whispered. I waltzed in towards my new classroom as I shyly entered...

    Sitting in the passenger seat of my families’ minivan I nervously wait to pull into the school parking lot. As we turn the corner my legs begin to shake and my palms are getting clammy, this is my first day of high school. All I could do was think about the dramatic change in class size, I am coming from a school where there are only about three hundred kids in the entire school to a school where there are about three thousand kids in the entire school. This would not be as scary of experience except for the fact that the majority of the kids from my middle school went to the high school on the other side of town. My high school was the biggest school in Marion County and was known for its performing arts. I would not have been able to get through my first day of high school without the three levels of
