Education In San Fierro: A Personal Narrative Of My Life

I’m from the infamous Chicago, IL which has many nicknames like chi-city, windy city and chi-raq etc. I don’t live in the area of Chicago where all the tourist go and take pictures and stay in fancy hotels. I live in Washington Heights/West Pullman which is located right on the border of the Morgan Park and Beverly area on the South Side. Even though I live so close to these nice and historic areas, the differences are very clear. I wouldn’t consider my neighborhood the hood, but it has its “hood” aspects. During the nights I do hear gunshots and see gang's all around, but a lot of the people who live here in my neighborhood are nice working class people. My neighborhood is different from what you would think it would be like. I don’t hear gun shoots everyday I lay my head down to go to sleep and I can walk to the Corner store

I live in San Diego. My major is interior design and I am attending San Diego Miramar College I also have some courses in Mesa College. I am taking Political Science 102 to fulfill my general education. Moreover, I am married and have two children and English is my second language so I am nervous about understanding the material of this course, but I try to do my best. I have never protested or have attended any protests. To create a sign defending I would like to say “peaceful life for

We’re just a group of minorities trying to make a change in the world.” A phrase I would use when someone asked about my community. We were the eastside of San Antonio, a community to most that contained drop-outs, minorities, criminals, gangs, government assistance and ignorance. We’re the area everyone avoided or spoke of with disgust on their tongue. Our community learned early on that we were on our own against the city and the country. Because of being ostracized from the whole city, no one truly saw the pride and beauty that could be found on the eastside. We’ve made it on our own and thrived through the troubles and pain our community holds. That is what has made me who I am know. I learned to fight through my troubles no matter who

We set off, with backs packed and DSW behind us, we looked forward to San Antonio. My dad and I were so excited, it was my first time in my dads second visit. I spent a whole school year learning about this place and its history, but to see it in person, that's a whole different story.

I was born in a big city called Baltimore, MD, but raised in a small town called Saint Stephen, SC. My mother had to relocate in order to take care of my ailing great-grandfather. While working toward her

School at St. Catherine began in preschool. When I was in preschool my best friends were Shelby and Justine. We all began playing violin together at Mrs. Miller’s studio. Justine used to be a very quiet person, but for some reason I knew exactly how she was feeling or wanting to say. Us three had a lot in common: violin, dress up, and humor.

It is a great blessing to be given the opportunity to be writing to you for a chance to win the San Martin de Porres Men’s rosary and Monsignor Alex Salazar scholarship. What is faith? In my opinion, faith is the belief in God and the ability to use your courage to change the world in his name through service. In our world, there is a large amount of problems and conflicts in our society like disease, murder, robbery and sadly so much more. There is also a great deal of happiness and charity taking place right now in our fair world done by our youth. As a young person, it is our job to take care of the future because I am part of the future, and potentially could be the well needed change. It is important that children and teenagers follow

Childhood is something that every human must go through in life. It is filled with similar milestones like your first birthday, first game, and things very similar to that, yet, everyone’s childhood varies, causing there to be differences in personality, paths we take and even how we view the world. The biggest influence in my life would definitely be where I grew up. I moved to three different places that were completely different from one another. I believe that each of these places have contributed toward the person I ended up growing into.

Imagine a life without health care insurance. The daily struggles of keeping up with your personal health, but always afraid of what the cost would be to see the doctor. This may be a reality for many citizens in the United States. One aspect of the Health Care Crisis in America has to deal with those who are currently uninsured. This paper will discuss who is categized as uninsured, why people are uninsured, what the Affordable Care Act has done to help, statistics on the uninsured in America, what happens to those who are uninsured, a voice from inside the financial side of health care, and what predictions can be made for the future of our country dealing with uninsured

Throughout my short life in Southern California, I have encountered a multitude of different natural disasters, strange weather patterns and a shift in climate. There have been three distinct phases of my life in which the occurrence of all of these can be found.

Oakland, California, the city that people consider as one of the top five most dangerous cities in the United States. Growing up in the city next to it and having family there, I developed strong bonds to Oakland. I have always seen Oakland in the light for being outrageously diverse and being resilient. My first thoughts of Oakland never consisted of them of the city being dangerous or a bad place to live in. I knew that Oakland is dangerous but I have never experienced anything that made my outlook change. Despite a handful of my family living there and have experienced muggings, robbery and dealing of drugs, I still could not take in how unsafe Oakland is. However, just one incident changed my view of this city, 18 years of my life Oakland

I am a girl who loves variety in everything. I love Indian food, spicy that burns my tongue, Mexican food that makes me want more and more and Chinese food that brings me comfort. I love shopping for cute clothes and warm clothes and shoes with heels and shoes with soles. San Jose gives me this variety and I am happy for it. I love the beach with its nippy wind and the sand beneath my toes. The summers that seem hot to me, but are nothing compared to other cities. I love the snow, but not enough to shovel it every day, that's why I love San Jose. I do not like wearing rain boots and coats that weigh me down so San Jose accommodates me. It's weather is barely ever wet and the temperatures never go down low. I've never really experienced any

“I’ll go no more. I am afraid to think what I have done; Look on’t again I dare not” 2.2.49-51

My life started on May 16, 2001. I was born in Phoenix, Arizona at 11:00 pm. My parents are Virginia and Jose Lopez and my two older brothers are Jose and Andy Lopez. I was named after my grandfather. Although I don’t really like my name, I’m glad I have it because it reminds me of my grandpa who died when I was very little.

Finally, after weeks of work, Erica was able to take my break from her job as a nurse. Erica and her boyfriend, James, sit on the couch having a movie day where all they’re gonna do is sit in and watch movies. All the sudden the doorbell ring, making them both jump a little. James goes to check who it is and comes back with some flowers.
