Gilbert Martinez was born in 1942, in crystal city Texas. Mr. Martinez was born Mexican American and his parents were both from Mexico City. During that time racism was still very much alive and most people in the city were Mexican American while the city council were white people. The city council was unfair to most people and never listened to their opinion on city affairs. So Gilbert decided when he was about 17 to start a campaign to run for city council. However he wasn’t even eighteen so he got some of his childhood friends to help him. Together they wanted to put local people in for city council to get their word in and have representation.

Alfredo Rios mostly known as “El Komander” is one of the many artists that interprets this kind of music glorifying drugs, crimes and weapons. In an interview done by Milenio Noticias a news channel in Mexico he was asked if he accepted the term “Narco Corridos” as being the type of music that he sings and his answer was that he thinks that the term is a bit demonetized by others because even when the corridos started, singers where already including weapons murders and alcohol in their lyrics. In fact he said that he as an artist is no one to change what is going on in mexico and that’s what he sings. He was also asked about what he thinks about the governor of Culiacan censoring the Narco Corridos to be singed in that area and his answer

I had the pleasure of meeting Kaylin this fall semester in my Anatomy and Physiology course. She is a high school student attending Wright State University to advance her education. She has successfully completed the first semester of a two-semester sequence in which she plans to finish the second part of the course next semester starting in January. Anatomy and physiology is a rigorous course and requires a great deal of face time in lecture and the lab. One attribute that has impressed me is that Kaylin is doing better than nearly 75% of her peers which are older and one would think better prepared.

Kendall’s experience as a researcher is not the only thing which makes her the amazing person she is today. She has experienced so many different work environments that it is mind-boggling. Dr. Kendall was a waitress while attending high school, was chair of a Senate Executive Committee, and taught math to prisoners. Through participating in so many different kinds of work opportunities, Dr. Kendall was able to realize that her true passion lay in the field of biochemistry. The first pull towards science was evident in the books that interested her as a child. And one might even say that her parents were what helped to ignite that spark for her thirst for knowledge in the field of biochemistry. Those science coloring books from Filene’s Basement department store and the Time Life science book series that her mother bought her are a very important part of Dr. Kendall’s early inspiration, and it is clear to anyone who listens to her talk that she loves doing research and helping young people figure out what they should do with their

Craig Santos Perez's poetry showcases a contrasting duality, integrating personal narratives of fatherhood with stark confrontations of environmental realities. In his poems featuring his daughter, Perez's voice is softer, more introspective, and filled with empathy. Through his poems, he communicates his desire for a better world, one in which his daughter can thrive without the looming environmental degradation. Conversely, in his other works, Perez adopts an honest and direct tone. He holds the audience accountable for their role in perpetuating environmental harm, refusing to sugarcoat the harsh realities of climate change.

Sharing a one bedroom apartment with eight other people is not a placid experience according to Jairo Gomez. Jairo and his family have spent their whole life growing up in poverty in the midst of New York City. According to the government the Family is fifteen thousand dollars under the poverty line. The Gomez’s mother is a cleaning lady who works all day followed by coming home and cleaning her own house and taking care of her children. Jairo’s mother asks Jairo to constantly stay home from school and watch his younger siblings or to babysit after school. This limits Jairo’s time hanging out with friends, work, and completing school work. Since Jairo has never had freedom he often cut class to hang out with friends. Soon enough Jairo realizes that him playing hooky on school and staying home to babysit is damaging his chance to graduate from school and become successful later in life after he enrolled in the tenth grade for the second time. Jairo finally realized he needed to take initiative and change his ways. He did not want to

The author and researcher of Punished: Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys, Victor M. Rios, was a former gang member from Oakland as well, who learned in his adolescence what a small break from police and educators could mean for a boy on his way to prison. Rios made it out of gang life through the support of concerned teachers, and a very fortunate break from a cop who gave him a last chance. After the death of his best friend and countless negative interactions with the police, Rios was forced to reflect upon the larger image of youth violence and criminalization. He wanted and needed to find out the reason of the prevalence of youth and police violence in his community. After graduating college, and attending graduate school,

Many people think that they can be success without an educational background, but a fourteen-year-old ambitious Hispanic boy Francisco Jimenez, Breaking Through, Jiménez. He knows that moving to the United State could help him to bet for a better future. He puts all his effort to study diligently, overcome and manipulate a foreign language and culture.

We also have to face the financial issue, culture shock

Dan and I are scary similar, like tonight its 9:33 and I am still struggling to take a test and do my discussion. I get easily distracted and procrastinate and feel insecure about my abilities. As a learner I relate to the way it’s explain about how Dan is. My voices are a little louder than most. And what Dan and I need to work and organize of thought and behavior to be intentional leaners using our patterns working together to succeed. Dan’s scores S25, P18, TR30, C14, and mine is S18, P22, TR13, C23. Though my scores aren’t the same, I feel like they use my story and maned me Dan. In his case and mine we need to use sequence and precise and a little less confluence. And with my technical reasoning

I returned to San Diego State University six months after gaining successful treatment of my narcolepsy. I was determined to conquer the second semester of organic chemistry; a class in which I have a disconcerting historical record. With a rested and awakened state of mind I found myself comprehending the chemical reactions and enjoying molecular mechanisms that I had previously not understood. I successfully finished that course and a few others. Having managed my condition, I am capable of mastering difficult science curricula in the future. Participating in a postbaccalaureate program would allow me to continue this trend of success and strengthen my academic record. I expect the program to be rigorous, but I am excited by the challenge

My interest started in elementary school, because of the teachers who enhanced my passion for science. In elementary school, I never thought about turning my passion into an actual career; that didn’t happen until high school. Science always intrigued me, from the never-ending science fair projects to research projects. Georgetown University’s Masters’ program in Biotechnology/ BioScience will continue to enhance my passion for science, but will also enhance my other passion in health related professions. Throughout my life, I loved science and health, but more so, the satisfaction of putting someone’s well being before my own.
