worked really hard to get to where I am today. My family only spoke Spanish to me so I wasn’t able to learn English. My oldest sibling growing up didn’t speak English either. When I started elementary school I started to learn to learn the language. Everything was difficult for me‚ but throughout the years I got better in speaking‚ writing‚ and reading. At my school there’s programs for English Learners‚ which helped me with my speaking. It was

For my Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting assignment I attended an AA meeting held at Annunciation RC Church in Paramus. I was a bit nervous before coming in to the meeting. I had my own personal feelings towards alcoholics for some time. I had a few relatives that dealt with alcohol with some of their lives. Like most families from my background‚ talking about alcoholism just never happened. It was something that was kept secret and never discussed. My religion tells us that drinking any kind of

My Vision For America When I think about the way I want America to be‚ I do not picture it the way that it is today. Everyone competing with each other‚ racism‚ innocent citizens murdered‚ even the elderly are being mistreated. Homeless people line the streets‚ garbage covers the ground at a park that was once a fun place to go and play‚ but now is just a dump. My vision for America isn’t the hell that we live in now. I want America to be a safe place for anyone who comes to stay or just to visit

My Responsibility to America “Where were you on 9/11?” Every American twenty and older could answer that question. Having been less than two years old at the time‚ I don’t remember that day very clearly. I‚ along with my peers‚ had to learn about the heinous attacks from parents‚ teachers‚ and news articles.
