hoping to one day go back to Pasco WA as a college graduate maybe even a master in my field of study i sit and wonder. How i'm i going to combat the cycles that i see in my community youth that bring despair to my life. How i'm i gonne cut the lines holding these immigrant youth from leading a college educated productive life without losing the Latin humbleness and ethics embbeded in us by our cultural community.
Many of these immigrant youth finish high school on top their class fully capable of becoming leading role models in our communities. These are the sons and daughters of the dishwashers, orchard workers and cooks. People with a great work ethic who, if given the opportunity, would take it and excel in it. But having to provide for a families keeps them form becoming succesful in the work area. So, disregarding their fatality and looking at their young children. Whom without a choice were brought into foreign land.
There is fields fields of these young people wanting to achieve higher learning. But to their disatvantage, they are labled illegals eventhough they have been in our school system all of thier lives. Now, they are at the end of the rope.
The unfairness of living this situation young people like me are in.
I feel like i'm in a phase of insomnolence in my inner consciounce about bringing upon change to the unfairness of the situation keeping all these young Mexicans from blooming like a spring field of flowers. These young people don't have the keys to opne doors to all the universities in the U.S.
In my own humble opinion, knowing that yes! it is wrong for these people to be here illegaly, they still deserve a chance at getting an education in spite of thier status. They had no choice but to come over that border into unfamiliar soil. But they could be the fertilizer this soil needs.
