The Dream and The Love

"Transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers." -Martin Luther King Jr.

This quote was cheered in the "I Have a Dream" speech because a lot of people believed this act should happen. Every one should be able to stand together in what they believe in no matter the skin tone.


This is important for me because with out him pointing out the segregation problems I wouldn't be having white or black friends. Its important to me also because I would like to be together with everyone in this nation not mattering the color of their skin. I would like to be put into a debate where both black and white have the same say and stand up together.



Hope by Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,




And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.


I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
I asked a crumb of me.




Wishing
Hope is the fuzz above your lip
That sits beside your nose
And hum my song in my ear
And has no end


And sweetest taste is smelled
And love must be the boy
That could stop my small heart
That made it jump for joy


I've heard it in the summer time
And in the silent room
Yet, never, over the top
It asked to little of me






My thoughts over all was that I do believe every man and woman no matter their color could be together anywhere any time. That there shouldn't be no border between them.

"I Have a Dream"
Emily Dickinson Poems

Closer to dreams

I Interviewed my father who is 53 years old and has had a lot of ups and downs with his dreams. From looking for coins under the couch to eating out whenever we feel like. How his dreams came truea and it feels good to have worked hard for what he has now.

How old were you when you came to America?


I came here really young, I was 17 when I finally got here. It took me about 4 times to actually get here. Since I got here illegally.





Was it dangerous?


Yes, it was since when I came to America I passed through deserts that at night you cant see nothing.





What motivated you to get here?


Well i knew a better life was awaiting me and that this would be the greatest challenge of my life.





When you arrived to America what was you dream?


Well when I got here the 1st thing I wanted was a job. Yet I don't consider that to be my dream. Behind my my mind I knew I would go to school here and try to get as many degrees as possible. I also wanted to own two homes. One here for my future family and another in Mexico so when I would visit I'd have a place to stay.





Would you say you got all you wanted?


Yes, I got my family and the two homes. I also was able to attend college and get the degrees I wanted and needed. With hard work and dedication my dreams got accomplished and new ones were realized along the way.





With you dreams being accomplished which one do you think was the best?


Well they were all pretty neat to have accomplished. Yet I would say going to college was the best. I never thought I would be able to go and learn new things that now a days I can help my kids with. Now when any of my daughters ask for help in geometry instead of saying "I don't know", I right away understand the problems given.



Overall I believe my parents went through a lot to get to their American dreams.
Like the time they had to send my sisters inside the house because the ice cream man was coming. They didn't have enough money to buy them certain things they wanted. Yet, now a days their taking it one day at a time and enjoying their paletas Ponchos.

what does it mean?

Should undocumented immigrants be allowed to stay in America?

I believe undocumented immigrants should stay in the United States of America.
I believe this because over the years immigrants have been coming and doing our dirty jobs. They have been getting on their knees to scrub down a toilet and sweeping after the school is closed. Yet, who are these people? Majority of them are immigrants with no legal documents. These are the only jobs they can get while in America and if there lucky, they can get a better jobs than this. America only starts complaining about immigrants when their economy is running low on jobs. Then that’s when everyone starts to complain about immigrants stealing their jobs that have been there for so long. People who come here aren’t stealing there improving their lives by seeking better places to accommodate themselves.
Immigrants come here with their families or plan to build a family. When they see an opportunity to come here they will take it with no hesitations. They know their future will be someone in life. Look at Celia Cruz and Gloria Estefan they both came from Cuba and migrated to America illegally. They became some one with their lives. Immigrants just want to improve their way of lives even if it is working for minimum wage. They know if they save the money they make here they can help those in their home land who need the help. Americans wouldn’t survive in the money they get; they should see how hard immigrants work so Americans can learn how to appreciate their well beings.
Families being separated from their kids leave the children left alone. Estimated 3 million American children who have at least one parent who entered the US illegally will be left with no parents. When their here alone they are confused and sad about what is going on. Immigrants should be able to stay for their family’s sake as well. The children who are now American citizens want their mothers and fathers here. Also the parents took them a long time for them to build a home so their children can go to school. The families want their best for their children and they can’t get it going back. Even American families should understand this, when a child only has one parent here or none they go to a lot of trouble to find them selves and start resorting to

problems.

Immigration Debate

Native Americans were the founders of America. Watch what happens when the tables are flipped and the English cant stay here because they "might steal jobs".
