OPPRESSION LIBERATION PARAGRAPHS

Our area of focus is gangs. Gangs is defined as a person or a group of people that bang or claim something or that represent a certain color or a click such as Nortenos, Surenos, or Border Brothers, and much more gangs. Some reasons we believe people join gangs are to be tough to get money by selling drugs. Also my opinion why people join gangs is because that they wont have a good future and people tell them that they are going to end up joining a gang any ways.Gangs could be oppressive in many ways one is because they hurt, kill, people. One way they are oppressive to the community is that gangs also sell drugs.Also anything they do scares people.

    Individuals can be liberate themselves by moving from where they live so they won’t have problems with gangs. Or if a person in a a gang could do is start all over start a new life somewhere else. One step a gang member could do is get support from anybody they could to help them start new/fresh and out of a gang. Another important element of liberation is to not have any problem with any gang member because it could but you in danger. Individuals can incorporate joy into their life by changing doing what is right for them. We all must not join a gang for a dumb reason.

    Without this type of oppression people would feel safer of being in the streets at night without being scared. When free from this form of oppression people will be happy because they will be safe and have nothing to worry about. Individuals will experience gangs without this type of oppression by talking nicely to gang members about their lifes. Individuals will be able to do what they want and won’t have to worry about getting killed or shot. They will feel safe. People could experience joy by doing what is right for their life.

MY LIFE BEYOND COLLEGE

My Life Beyond College      (;  

         

Hello my name is Miguel Garcia I’m from East Oakland. I have experience of being and seeing some colleges. I never been to a college in Santa Cruz.

I want to go to college because I will have a great chance to do what I want and have a great career. It will also make my parents proud because they want me to be successful and go to college. Also going to college is one of my goals that i put for my self.        

My goals in life are to be a pro soccer player because that is my favorite sport to play.I’m going to try as hard as i can to reach that goal I know there’s going be times when I’m going  want to give up but I’m not going to give up. There’s also going to be a lot of barriers that will want to stop me from reaching my goal. When people think about me what they think is a good, friend, athletic, and smart. Smart is a good quality because it could help you learn easier  and more advanced knowledge.

My family/teachers/community supports me by giving me good advice to go to college and to never give up when I’m trying to reach any of my goals. One thing my parents always tell me is if i reach all my goals the happier i will be in life. This words are strong to me because my parents tell me this and they are adults they have much more experience in life then i do.

   

    Middle school has been rough and challenging this year but the teachers in this school are very help full. One way they are help full is that they will take some of there after school time and sit with you and help you in anything. Also they are there to talk to you when you have any problem either at home,school,grades or anything else.That you need help in.I really enjoy doing my work and putting lots of effort into it to get the best grade i can get.

    College is important to me because it will make me successful in life  i want to help my family in anything they need help in.Also because I want to be the first one in my family to go to college.
