His words, My Response, and Poem!



His Words








"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we are free at last!"









This is important to me because if I were one of them I would feel complete and accepted for who I am and what I would do. Being free will make my dreams come true and not throw them away and let the rich white folk take the chance of my dream. Dr. Martin Luther King he would fight for chances of a African American would be free he just wouldn't stop. This makes me proud that there's someone making a difference in the world and in history we are not alone and probably never will be. This are a couple of reasons why this important to me.



People were cheering for when he said "Free at Last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are Free at last!" This speech made at of people be confident of Dr. King he was being heard. He will never be forgotten.





My Poem



What happens to a dream floating?



Does it get wet?

Like a fish

or a starfish like a person taking a swim.

Does it drown like a boat being sunk?

Or stays and stays

Like the water

Maybe it will get toron to pieces.

Like a fish being killed by a shark.

Or does it keep floating on?

There American Dreams!



I am going to interview my mom Maria Cabrera .
I can't interview my father because he is in Mexico
getting stuff work out. I am going to ask my mother
couple of questions. I am going to translated what my
mom is saying so the people can understand.



What was your American Dream when you set foot in U.S. soil?
To find a place to live with your big brother Diego and so your brother can get a good education and to get my papers work out so I can get a good job. Also for your brother to be a resident and then a citizen in the U.S.A.
What kind of job did you want to have?
I wanted to be a cashier worker because I like to be in a public place.
Did my brother become a full citizen in the U.S.?
Yes, he did, he married his girlfriend Sandra Lopez and she help your brother to fix his papers.
Did you meet that dream?
Yes, I did I work in La Chiquita and I been working there for 15 years.
Did your son Diego get a good education?
Yes, he did he is going for his Master Degree for Engineer. I just need my other son Edgardo to get a good education as his brother.
Did you get your papers work out to be resident?
Yes, my papers were work out because your brother fix my papers so I can be a resident.
If you can get another job in the U.S now that you are a resident what will it be?
I want to be a person that works in an office for a government because I am getting tired of being standing up for 9 hours straight in the cashier.
Now that you are resident is there any other goals or dreams that you want to be accomplished?
Yes, I want to learn how to drive and be able to speak English so I can commuicate with other people in the country or in the phone.
Did you learn how to drive?
Yes, I did I took a class for driving and it took 3 class so I can learn how to drive. I was so happy that I got my driver's license in the first try.
Did you learn how to speak English?
I learn a couple of words but not a lot so no, I didn't learn how to speak English, but I am not going to give up on my goal.
So there are a couple of questions I asked my mother she has been working hard to accommplish her dreams. It was about time she accommplish to be a resident because I didn't want my mother to be deported because I will very sad and devastated and broken. I think that this The American Dream!

We are there to stay!

President Bush wanted to put a wall in the border of Mexico so
immigrants don't come in. Later the government busted a bunch of people
that worked in factories and my dad was getting scare. It was a good thing
that my dad didn't get busted. If my dad would have been caught me and my
mom would have been devastated.

There is 1.2 million immigrants that are going back to where there
came from. At first I thought that my dad was going to be one of those
people but it wasn't. The president shouldn't be deporting immigrants the
government needs as here.

Other people say that immigrants should go back to where they came from. I sometimes agree because I see people liter and mess up the neighborhoods and I don’t like to see that. Also sometimes I want to order something by phone and I need to repeat it about 4 times. I get pissed out that I have to repeat myself more times I like it when I say it once and that’s it. This is why I like for the immigrants to go back where they came from.

One's immigrant story



I chose this video because it has a lot of emotion and crying like it says in my paragraph. This video talks about why Juan's parents came to this country undocumented, and how he feels seeing his parents suffer from the government's treatment against immigrants. This video help me by what this kid is feeling by comparing him to me because my father is aalso in Mexico.

Completion



I finally collected all of the seasons of "Friends". It took me a while because I needed to store some money so I can purchase the dvd. When I got home I saw Friends I spent 10 hours watching Friends non-stop. People that I've toll this they went shocked because I wasted 10 hours watching my show. I started liking this show about two years ago my brother was watching it, and there was a character named Chandler Bing that was being funny and that's when I started watching and liking this show. Now my brother and I sit in the living room and watch Friends for 3 hours straight.





There were 10 seasons in total that's about over 200 episodes of friends and over 5000 hours of excitement, funny, and emotional. This show has thought me things that can and will happen in real life. Sometimes this show can be a bit heavy meaning rated (R) but it can teach you things and how to get a girl especially Joey. He always brings a girl to his apartment and Chandler is justing listening because he doesn't have the guts to ask a girl out. In season 4 Chandler asks Monica out and they do go out. Overall this is one of my goals that I was really happy to have been completed. I probably recommend you to try to watch this show on TBS or WGN.
