Why I love Books

Many times, I have found myself staring at the blank document in front of me, thinking of giving up, feeling like I cannot do it. Not knowing how to structure an essay or how to start writing one, feeling helpless by not knowing how to word a sentence or know what a word means in Spanish or vise versa. I have been sad and angry. I blame myself for not understanding what a run-on sentence is or any other grammar rule, whatsoever.

I have decided to approach my problem by reading books. There is nothing better that the knowledge a book itself contains. English writing is beautiful, the descriptions the authors make is easy to picture and follow. Through books, I learn how to write, how to capture the essence of a story itself. I have learned how to phrase questions, ideas, and create sentences. With every book that I read, I learn something new, and deepen my knowledge. I believe that the key to a better education is a book.

I can smile and hope to be like one of those inspirational people who fought to make a stand for their culture and the struggle for equality. Everyone should deserve to have a voice. I want to be that voice. My life is not about what I want but what I can contribute to the world. I don’t want to be just another living person; I want to be recognized. I want to make a change in our society.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”

Something I am certain of is when I set my mind to something, I will get it done no matter what. I want to do something that will not only help me but will be beneficial to others. All of my life, I have always wanted to help others. I want to earn a double major in English and Political Science. I want to become a successful bilingual lawyer and help my Hispanic community. The contributions I want to make to my Hispanic community is to help to define who we are, and also to shape the way we think and create support for each other

Since I wanted to succeed I needed to break free from my cultural chains and take a risk. I don’t want to be like them; I don’t want to compete. I want to be there for them and show them that it’s fine to let others shine, because soon they will have their chance. I never find myself giving up. I always have someone there to remind me why I held on for so long. I was not away from my mother six years just to throw away all the things she had to give up just to give me this better life in the United States. That is just a couple reasons of why I want to be a lawyer

The passion that drives me and inspires me to become a lawyer grows whenever the subject of civil rights and liberties is being taught. I can only smile and hope to be like one of those inspirational people who fought to make a stand for their culture and the struggle for equality. This dream seems hard to reach because my ambitions are not part of my cultural norms. Being too smart, or being too carefree, often seems too wrong and contradicts the way I should behave according to my Hispanic heritage. 

My Life Is Over Part V

I hope for the sake of my memories and myself, for it to be just sick and not dying. For I know, I won’t be able to face the future without her. Now, you might think that I am crazy, for I have fallen in love with my mac but I am pretty sure I am not the only one. My life will be over if I don’t get my mac back healthy and safe and, I am not over reacting! 

My Life Is Over Part IV

Because, after two years and too many viruses – at least, that’s what I think it is – it has decided to stop functioning. It didn't even give a notice, and if it did, I ignored it. I took it to someone with a broader knowledge of computers and its functions, and they told me they needed to take a look at it, but by the way it sounded, I was going to need to replace it. Now, after two days of not having it, I wish I could have given it a better life and treat her better.
