Oppression
Oppression
Some prescriptions that are commonly heard are that gangs could offer you protection and that kind of convinces people to join them, also another reason is that people can be tired of their families and are looking for a new one, which can be the gangs, and that’s were the gangs come in. Another prescription is that they say people join gangs their whole lives but that isn’t always true, cause some people leave them when they realise that they have done the wrong thing joining them and now they want to redeem themselves and do the right thing by leaving, and that can be dangerous. That can be oppression cause it can cause death and jail maybe. Gangs restrict you to live peacefully and freely since they can cause you danger and might also have no mercy on you.

College For All Essay

My College for All Essay
o
Oakland is not what people think it is, sure it’s dangerous but not everyone is ghetto like most people think it is. There’s a lot of different people here. Probably what I describe my family to be like is caring cause they all get along, at least some of them do. Some opportunities that I have received here are to achieve a better education for my future, I’ll receive a better salary and more money every year than what I’ll normally get if I don’t go to college, and get away from danger or that might affect me somehow. One major issue that I have in my community is gang fights, I’ve seen many fights and all of them are pretty violent, and even some gang fights happen in my neighborhood. Anyway I’ve found ways to overcome this, like just walking away from them or just ignoring them. College is important for me and my family cause it will affect us positively in the future that is coming, and I also can be one of the first people in my family to go to college, and I hope I can make it. It will help us in the future and us as well.

Demon
I know I can, I'm sure I can
Be released of of this mask
This mask, which is in control of my body
This mask lets no one see the real me
I try to release myself
It's harder than I think
As my soul begins to shatter
I start to feel the pain in me
But while my heart isn't in my control
I'm becoming what I never wanted to be
but now I must take off this mask
Free myself from this demon mask
Stop hiding myself
So I can finally begin a free live
Be released of of this mask
This mask, which is in control of my body
This mask lets no one see the real me
I try to release myself
It's harder than I think
As my soul begins to shatter
I start to feel the pain in me
But while my heart isn't in my control
I'm becoming what I never wanted to be
but now I must take off this mask
Free myself from this demon mask
Stop hiding myself
So I can finally begin a free live

I Am
Just because I am Mexican
I'm not an immigrant
I don't have an accent
I'm not a school dropout
I also don't only speak Spanish
I am a Mexican
And I am very proud of it
I'm not an immigrant
I don't have an accent
I'm not a school dropout
I also don't only speak Spanish
I am a Mexican
And I am very proud of it
