Promesas

Tu promitiste cuidarme y me causaste dolor 

Tu promitiste quererme y me destrosaste el corazon 

Tu promitiste valorarme y me isiste llorar

Tu promitiste aserme feliz pero tu te burlabas de mi

Quise volar pero tu me cortaste las alas Te entrege mi corazon y tu lo mataste 

Dejaste huellas en mi alma

y me isiste llorar lagrimas de sangre

Destrosaste mi vida entera cuando te reias de mi

para ti yo no era nada

Pero ahora yo ya me canse de ti

Hoy voy a volar

Hoy voy a truinfar

Porque yo se que tu ya no estas aqui

Ahora que estoy aqui te digo que yo tengo algo que tu no tienes 

y eso es que yo si se amar y valorar

college for all trip!!

collage for all

College for all trip was amazing it was the most fun experience. we went to see colleges at santa barbara san louis obispo and santa cruz. The colledes threr were so interisting and awsome. We had a fun time seeing colleges and hagining with our friends. The college for all trip made me realize a lot of things like if i go to college I have a great chance to get a carrer. And change my community and my life. The most fun part of the trip was when we got to the hotels and hanged out with are friends and i liked cal poly better than the other colleges. what I didn't like about the college for all trip was th bus rides they were so long and also we didn't get to see the boys a lot just hen we ate lunch and at the santa cruz boardwalk. Ethier ways I had lots of fun and in that trip I had a opportunity to get to know my classmate better.T his trip i will never forget because it was one of the best trips I have gone to. I really apreciate upa for giving us this great opportunity to get to see how college is like.

Dear Senator Dutton:

My name is Esmeralda Mendoza and I am a 8th grader at Urban Promise Academy in Oakland, CA. My school is a small school in the community of Oakland. It is a school with a staff that support and encourage their students. UPA  is a small school that feels like a second family. In our school we have after school programs such as soccer,dance,drama,cheer leading, and more. The thing I will miss most at UPA if we do not get funding is the dances our after school programs of soccer, drama, and sports. I need the opportunity to go to college because I want to show my family and friends I can do my best and succeed. Also to show people even if I live in Oakland I can get a great education. Please support my education by letting California vote on the tax extension measure. The future of California is us and every single students in California!

-- sincerely,
Esmeralda Mendoza

*+College Essay+*

    Life isn’t life without challenges you have to face. Believing in myself was the only thing that helped me overcome the barriers in my life. My name is Esmeralda Mendoza and I go to school  at Urban Promise Academy. In my life  Ive been past helps me understand and notice what to do for my future . Also it shows me not through thick and thin and seeing myself mature and grow over time. Looking at my to make the same mistakes that other people have made. In my life right now I have a comprehensive then my own family.

            All my life Ive done my best and tried hard to give all I have. Ive accomplished some great things without the support from my family. I try my best in school all my life because I had some great teachers that have encourage me to do my best.  My community is all about  gangs and violence. My parents try to keep us safe and prevent me and my sister from being in gangs. Looking at the violence that is going on in my community makes me feel  like I need to do something to stop that violence for happening. So I prevent myself in joining gangs and I always try to talk to my cousin in getting out of gangs and make a better life and start all  over again. Also I have a great friend that tries to keep me away from violence and gangs and supports me in accomplishing my dreams. To see me with happiness in my life.

    In my life I am thank full for to one person who has encourage me and influenced me to do my best. That person is a great friend  he is like a brother to me and he always gives me advice and  even though he is 15 he is comprehensive. His name is Guillermo Matias. Guillermo has been a great person that has come to my life and showed me a lot. He is always with me in the thick and thin. He tells me I should try my best in school and never give up on my dreams. He is a blessing in my life ever since I have meet him he has always showed me a lot. He has told me every single of his mistakes in life so that I would not make the same mistakes as him. His life has been ruff and he has done a lot for me to not get involved in gangs because he is in a gang but he regrets it. So his experiences had taught him to prevent others in being in gangs and he has given me all his support. Guillermo has told me that even if he does not go to college but he would like to see me graduate from college and he would be there with me. He would be the first person to be at my graduation from college and see that I have accomplish  my goals. He has told me some inspiring words that I would never forget. The words that have inspired me more is when he tells me “ Esme I want to see you graduate from college even though I will not but you will and I want to see that I at least have done something right in my life.” every time I talk to him he repeats the same things and also he tells me he will always be with me through thick and thin. So all of the effort I do in school is thanks to my greatest friend Guillermo Matias.

I want to go to collage to study a carrier  that I am interested in. I would like to become a scientist or a doctor. I would like to show my parents that with all my effort and hard work I can accomplish my dreams and goals in live. I also want to go to college because I would be the first in my family to go to college and graduate from it. Show my sisters that they could of gone to college but they didn’t  because they didn’t try their best. I would like to show to my friend Guillermo that I have accomplished my dream thanks to his advice and support and dedicate my effort and accomplishments to him. For being with me through everything in my life.

Now the only dream and goal I will work hard to reach is my dream of going to college. I will try my best and give all I got to accomplish my dream. From my past I will forget everything and I will be thinking about my future and what I will do after college. I will challenge myself in doing more things in my life. Lastly I will support and help my little sister go to college. To see her accomplish her goals like me and see her become a great woman. Also see her become a brave leader that will never give up. That’s why I would like to go to college. big dream that I would like to accomplish. The dream I have is to go to college. To show my parents I can do my best and reach my goals in life. Ever since I was a little girl I always dreamed of becoming some one important in life or to have a great carrier.

expo oppression essay

Loss of Family and Abandonment

1.) My groups area of study is about loss of fmily and abandonmernt. Loss of family and abandonment means when a loved one dies and abandonment means when ur family abandoment leaves you behind. Decides to not take a role in your life.

2.) Indiuviduals that are being oppressed by loss of family and abandonment are hiding their true feelings.The things they do to liberate themselfs from this oppression is ignoring what is happening arround them. Also they might make them think that everything is okay and that nothing bad ever happend. But what they are doing is not truely liberation because they are just trying to ignore everything. One day when they realize what is going on they will be more oppressed. it will be harder for them to liberate from themselfs. What thry can do to liberate themselfs is they have to realize that they have to make a new life wid out the person they lost or who abandon them. They have to get support from friends or even specialists.

3.) Groups that are opressed or is oppressing are the foster homes that have a lot of kids thaat have no family. They are oppressed because as time go by some kids dont even get adopted and spent their life in a foster home. Also the family of the person who died because they will have a hard time understanding that thier loved one died an will never come back. those are the groups that are oppressed.

4.) One connection I have with this is when my uncle died my dad and grandparents had a dramatic impact and reaction. They were so upset that they justwanted to die. Mostly my dad because he saw how my uncle died and he tried to help him but couldn't.My uncle died of drowning in a river. my dad wanted to save him but coudn't because he did not know how to swim. My dad wished it was him who died an not his young brother. So to maake up the guilty my dad had on his consious he took care of my cousins and raised them. My dad raise my cousins as if they were his and he showed them good manners. Now that my cousins are older they thank my dad and always appreciate him.That oppression my dad had it cured overtime and now he is happy seeing his niece and newphews grow up to be strong.

5.) The Things that make me smile,bring me joy are:

- talking to my best friends

-listening to my favorite music

-hanging out with friends

-singing my favorite songs

-to play soccer basketball football
