The Influence Of Diane T. Lucero's Life

Coming from a country where poverty and less opportunity are the present every day I saw in a lot of kids and youths with talents and aspirations for their lives and their future, and these aspirations could disappear when time goes by and they can’t be reached. We in our country don’t have the support to develop our talents and came true our dreams or goals for our future. Most of the time we are like stars in the sky that can bright, because there is no a chance to show that we can.

Completing goals leads to success. There are many difficulties and struggles for the marginalized people in their childhood ,but if one loves themselves and has a desire to achieve something in life then they can

How do people perceive others’ limits when they've never had a chance to prove themselves? Miles Corwin, a newspaper reporter from the gang roaming streets of South Central, wrote And Still We Rise to enlighten the lives of the children who, despite the challenges they face around them, are madly driven to finish high school and seek better lives. The author wrote about twelve gifted students at Crenshaw High School, filled with hidden potential, to show that the neighborhood wasn’t just a place full of gang activity, but rather a place filled with students who wanted to grow up and make something of themselves knowing education was key. The targeted audience of the book were individuals who had similar problems to the students; Corwin

For example, when my grandmother was young, she used to dream about being surrounded by a loving family. She was an orphan. She often tells me stories about how she would lie awake at night dreaming about just that. Many kids in her orphanage used to tell her that none of them were ever going to have a life like that “Why would we?” they said, “can you not see not even our parents wanted us!” Despite all the harsh words, she kept on dreaming and overcame all her obstacles and has reached her goal. Even though your goals might seem impossible, if you dream big you might get just that.

Charles Dickens and John Steinbeck in their respective novels Great Expectations and Of Mice and Men, suggest that uncontrolled aspirations are inherently negative and do not lead to success in life. Modern society encourages individuals to aspire to greatness, however we must remember not lose focus on the tasks of the present if we want to achieve meaningful

As far as school, Veronica was one of the top students in her class from first to twelfth grade. Education was very important to her and it was imperative that she finished high school. While growing up in that day and age, there were a large percentage of females her age that did not finish school. From being a witness to that, she refused to be included in that group and was determined to strive for more. Upon high school graduation, she was offered a four-year academic scholarship and chose to relocate to Michigan.

Diane Nemorev was born on March 14, 1923 in New York City, NY, and grew up in Central Park West, NY. She was the child of wealthy Jewish parents but was mainly raised by several governesses. Because of that, she did not have a good relationship with her parents and often felt alone. Diane felt unreality in her life. When Diane learned new things, she had the feeling she couldn’t experience it. As a child she painted at school. Diane hated painting and when she graduated from High School, she stopped immediately. Painting made her feel shaky, because Arbus hated the smell of paint and the noise of the brush on the paper. People would say Diane was terrific at it, but she felt as if something

Ones achievements in life are not determined by your brilliance or abilities, but the character that you choose to display to others. Someone who wasn’t expected to amount to anything was Louis Zamperini. Louis ended up proving everyone wrong when he became an Olympic athlete, war hero, and a father. He wasn’t always this well accomplished man. He was once just a kid struggling trying to fit in. As a child he was always getting in trouble with the police, his parents, and people. Louis wasn’t a kid who cared about school, respect, grades, adult’s approval, his own health, and people’s personal boundaries. He was one to always push people’s boundaries trying to see how much he could get away with. No one had much hope that he would change his

We tell people it’s possible... And then we are told it’s not. We are told sometimes that what we seek, has never been seen before and we’re made to believe, deep down, that we cannot achieve it either. We all seek for a purpose in this world. We all find a calling, but some of us are told we do not mean all that much. We are told we have big shoes to fill, and that we have a long way before we will be like the greats. We are compared to single people throughout history, told that we are like them. We are told that when we are smart, we are like Einstein. We are told that when we are great leaders, we are like Martin Luther King and Lincoln. We are not told we are like

People are constantly heard saying “I want to be rich,” or “I want to be famous,” but is this really that way you would want to live your life? Constantly being pressured to keep that status that you have and keep the people that look up to you and want to be you interested. Sure everyone wants some attention once and awhile, but many don’t realize the struggles that people who are well known have. Everyday the cloths you wear and the actions you take are judged, and the more public you make your life the more of that judgment you bring with you, good or bad.

The aberration of people in this world finding their true intellectual self, and being covered by their own dignity. The people choose to be happy, but it only tends to be the minority. Coercing someone to find something they truly loves does not distract them self from finding what they do want, money & fame. Evil out weights positivity, and it takes a genuine person to overcome them. No one is impeccable. Keep your goals true, find your purpose and make sure you love what you do.

Ever since we were kids we all had dreams. I think these dreams are precious to everyone but the more you grow up the more and more people look down on you for trying to pursue your dreams if they do not meet the “norm” or if people don't understand or know what you are trying to pursue.

Many people often dream about changing the world. They want to do thing that is going to help a lot of people in the future. They want to matter. They want to change the world into a better place. Dreams about stopping all war in the world aren’t unusual, or end the racism and things like that. But in lot of cases, these dreams never come true. People will still be dreaming forever. In the end, you will figure out that you are never going to stop all racism, or save the lives you wanted to save. The only thing left in front of you is to give up all your dreams. You will find out that you need to help yourself more, or maybe the only one you can help is yourself. You need to care of your family, find a job to have the money feeding your children. After that, all your big dreams get put aside. You won’t have time any more for that stuff. The only thing you can do then is just thinking “poor people, I wish someone could help them”. Or maybe you try to reach the big dreams you’ve had for a long time, but there is no guarantee that people will hear you. Some people can’t listen to you, they have other important things to take care

We live in a world which is full of pressure where we have been suffocated from an early age, pushed around as well as mentally and physically drained. The world seems somewhat predictable, as history does repeat itself. One thing that will never go away is expectations. You are expected to do what other people want you to do, especially by our parents, which is more often than not, better than what we are currently doing. Parents are chasing lost dreams and to make up for their own failed aspirations, they push their children to live out their dreams. This is a prevalent issue in society, in fact, it is a form of

In today’s world, humans are often misled on what really is a good life. We are constantly shown through the television and magazines that being rich and famous is the way to go when it comes to a good life, when in truth many of them are miserable by problems that usually wouldn’t affect the common person. In truth there are only a few that are rich and famous and do achieve what can probably considered one of the greatest achievement’s by a man which is having a good life. In my opinion, the decision if someone has a good life or not is up to them and their will to strive for something better than average during the high school years of their life. The reason I feel like it begins at that age in their life is
