My Story

It was a very long journey for me and my mother to get here in the United States. My mom was on her way over here in search for a better life. But mostly it was a better life for me. It was alot of trouble but we made it. My mom talked to me about how we got here last year. She siad that it took us about three or four times for us to get here. Back in those days it was pretty easy to get here. If you got caught they would just take you back. Now its a whole diffrent story. All just because of terrorism. Well anyways. The first time my mom tried to cross the border was with my uncle. She was really nervous but she knew it was for a good cause. We had to cross the river. My uncle put me over his shoulders. And oh yea i was only 1year old while this was happening. We were almost to the other side of the river. Then a couple of white trucks, with green stripes on the side of it, yea it was the border patrol. There was nothing we could do it was either turn back around or get a ride from immagration. So we chose to get a ride.The second attempt was ruined by me. I laughed at that when my mother told me. Well anyways we were traveling with a group of people. We went over a couple of tall hills. The border was in sight distance. All of the sudden we see the border patrol truckws driving by. Everyone got down so they wouldnt see us. they drove away. We kept on walking then out of nowere we herd the trucks again.

Change

I choose to sing the dream act petition. I singed that petition because I think everybody should get a chance to college even the minorities. I dont get why they would charge the minorities for college if we are the people that cant afford it

The Moral of The Starfish Story

The moral of the starfish story is the little things that you do can make a big change. I think the person that wrote this story is very intelligent. I say that because I think that he is write. You may think you can’t do much when you are trying to save something big. But by doing the little things you do to try and save it. You have a better chance in accomplishing what you are trying to do. So I think when you think you can’t do anything you should at least try and maybe you will be successful.

The Great Debaters

I thought that this movie was okay. I think it could have been better if it had more action. It had some pretty emotional scenes. The scene that I thought was the most graphic and emotional was the part when they lynched the negro. Another part that was not cool was the part when the black guy ran over the pig. Then the White guys made him pay for it. He gave them a check and then the white guys threw to the ground and made him pick it up again. I give this movie a 31/2 out of 5. Just because of the lack of action.

This painting is by Diego Rivera. This picture shows me a hard worker. I think that this man is most likely a Mexican I say that because Mexicans are usually the people that do the hard work. This man is probably trying to make some money to feed his family.
