Overcoming Stereotypes: A San Bernardino Narrative

City of Death
Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How had this challenge affected your academic achievement?

I am a eighteen year old female, grown up in San Bernardino. One of the top ten cities to not live in. Being raised here gives me a title of being ‘ghetto’. So of course I have gone through a struggle. They believe that everyone in San Bernardino is not educated and will not succeed. To be told that is very difficult but I won’t sit and justify myself with them, I know I'm educated and able to be successful. I have learned that if you believe in yourself and give it your all things can change and will change. Where I live is not the only struggle I’m overcoming.

All academic subject I believe are great one might be greater than another to a few people, for example you might like art better than english and you also may have great facts to support your claim. But we all have different point of views. From my point of view I believe science would be marked number one stating it’s the best from the others. It’s number one from my view because science splits into sixteen types of sciences. Also science can be use in the health careers by teaching us about the human body and/or an animal body, diseases, blood types, injuries etc. Given those examples science has pushed me towards the health careers. I love the idea of being able to learn about how to save a human and/or an animal. During my junior year of high school I took physiology and an elective called first responder which is a health job. That's when i began to notice that physiology was helping me understand my first responder class.
The first responder class was a class that teaches you about being the first one on the scene of an accident. Taking my physiology class taught me about diseases and the humans body.
