Immigration Reform

  Like many other Hispanics and Latinos, I am concerned about the immigration reform. Why you may ask, well because it's something important for us. Having an immigration reform will help the economy like Barrack Obama said in his speech. Not only will it help bring the economy up, but it will help many other Hispanic or Latino students continue with their studies. Because many of us don't have a social or the requirements needed to continue to college, most do not go to college. Our parents being immigrants don't have the opportunity to have a well-paid job to pay for any college fees. Why is that? It is because they don't have a social to work with and get enough money to pay it. 

    Can't these republicans see that it is essential for the economy? I heard once on the news that most of the jobs that help the economy are held by Hispanics or Latinos. Just like that time when Wal-Mart’s sells went down, the news said it was because immigration officers were there and no Hispanics/Latinos went to Wal-Mart. What if every Hispanic/Latino in the US went on a strike for 3 days at least? I'm guessing it would bring the economy down. Of course there are many African Americans and Caucasians working as well, but not as many of us.   

   My second guess of why the republicans do not want to approve it is because they are racist. Maybe not all of the republicans are racist, but the majority is. Why be racist to us if we can help you bring the economy back up? Why can't we all just get along? We are all men and women, no matter the color of our skin or race we are still the same. If racism and discrimination stopped, the economy would rise. Hopefully someone hits all these people in the head with some sense and ends all this racism and discrimination to bring up the economy.

Government Shutdown “& Obama Care

Why can’t the republicans accept that Obama care is a very useful thing for those who are in need? It just makes me mad to see some of these republicans say so many stupid things and come up with stupid ideas to end Obama care. I mean don’t they stop for a minute and think about how it helps these millions of people out there? Why can’t the republicans come up with a way to pay all this money without having the government shutdown? This government shutdown is going to bring the country down. Why? Because of all the money the country has to give to those who have been laid off because they work for the government. With no job, there are many people who are filling for unemployment. As I watched the news, the reporter said that after October 17^th, there will only be $30 billion dollars to spend. This amount will only last until about mid-November or at least the beginning.  The news reporter also said that we will not be able to pay our bills. We may be expecting an economic crisis. If only they put themselves in the same situation as those who need Obama care, they would understand. I’d like to make them go through the same hardships these people go through so they can see that Obama care is helping them a lot. The country is just getting back up economically, and this will only bring the country back down. This is not only affecting those who got laid off, but their families as well. I don’t think they would like to get laid off and have to look for a job, have no luck on finding one, and have to file for unemployment. I know someone whose family is starving because their parents can’t find a job and have absolutely $0. Do you think that’s fair? I don’t think so. We should end this government shutdown NOW!

Education Is Important

Education is a very important thing in life. Everyone needs it, there’s no doubt about it. There are ways that education can be better. We the students need to be taught in a right way or a way where we understand exactly what’s going on. Many students need to be taught at a slower pace than others, but if teachers would thoroughly explain the lesson and give specific examples, the students would comprehend better. Think of a baby learning to talk. If you say choo-choo as the train’s nickname, the the baby will think that’s the name for a train. Eventually he or she will keep calling it choo-choo until you teach him or her that it is actually called train. That is the same way for students. If you teach them that a cow can fly, even though we know it’s impossible, then the student will believe a cow can fly. No one wants to be taught the wrong way because that will lead them nowhere. That is why a teacher should be thorough with his or her lessons and make sure that every single student in each class understands the lesson.

Education is also important because having a good education can lead you to a very successful life. With a good education, you’ll be able to find a good job that you like and get a good pay, or even be your own boss one day. In order for that to be possible you need to get your education and learn as much as you can to succeed and be looked up to by your own children. With good education, you’ll know how to manage yourself in this world. Your future depends on education, therefore you should take advantage of the education opportunity you have unlike others.
