San Kulpa for the year 2017

For the year 2017 I want to be have a more positive attitude and worry less. I think with everything going on in life you can't be negative all the time.Becasue then later on that can make you have bad thoughts like sucidal and more thoughts like that.I also want to try not to be so sarcastic and sassy.I don't purposely try to be sassy or sarcastic to people but it just happens.It happens mostly with my friends.I would never disrespect a teacher like that or almost any adult like that.But I'm not gonna lie it does happen every once in a while.But mainly this is something I want to work on and I'm gonna do my best to accomplish.

Discrimination toward immigrants

It's a normal day ,2 parents are getting ready to go to work and their U.S born children are getting It's It's a normal day ,2 parents are gettingready to go to school.Little did they know what was about to happen.A strange knock on the door alerted the family.The parents went to answer the door.There were these two men standing saying they were from immigration and that they need to come with them The parents worry that their family is going to be split up.Would their children be forced to leave with them and leave their normal lives behind? Or would the kids be left to stay in foster care or a group home?

There are 11 million immigrants in the United States, although nobody really knows if that's how many there are.Six hundred thousand Mexican heritage people are in Chicago.All over the United States there are families being split up because of immigration issuesThere are many more ways of being racist it goes far beyond skin color.

The story of America is Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America.Before the Europeans,Latinos,Asians came the only people who were here first were the Native Americans.Everyone has a story weather it's from being U.S born or coming to America for a better life.But here's the question why are American's or whites superior than everyone else ?In the Constitution it says "All men are created equally" how is that true when people are being discriminated against based on where they come from.

"Right now we have no border, people illegally in the country all over the place nobody even knows how many there are and we have to make our country strong and smart"-Donald J Trump.https://youtu.be/NkX5n561ZUY.
Donald Trump has been known to be a racist and example in towards muslims.Many people think muslim is a race but it's not it's a religion.Which lead to believe if muslim isn't a race how could one be racist if it's not a race.Cultural racism is what this called discrimination against a person beliefs, where they from, tradition's etc.The religion muslim is made of many races you could be white and be a muslim still.

"They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with [sic] us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists."This suggest that their are many different type of stereotypes against immigrants .Yes, it  true that some people who enter the U.S are bringing good things but there are people out there who want to improve there life and get more opportunities.

“All over this country we’ve been called drug dealers ,we’ve been called rapist who are taking jobs from America, DiPaulo said and here you gave an almost 90-year old man who’s not even collecting social services, he just wasn't to contribute.Because that’s what you do in this country:You work hard and you contribute.”https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160914/little-village/chicagos-paleta-man-seen-as-champion-for-mexican-american-immigrants.
The story of Fidencio Sanchez is living proof that people do immigrate to think country to have a better life for more opportunities.”I came here because...my little daughter wanted to go to school, and we didn’t have any money to give her the things she needed”...”We were just poor farmers.So i told my husband I would go up to the United States and send some money back to the family.”https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160914/little-village/chicagos-paleta-man-seen-as-champion-for-mexican-american-immigrants.fIn 1993 Fidencio offered to fill a pushcart with popsicles and sell them on the street, this the same rounding he’s repeated since then.Normally Fidencio made $50 through $60 dollars per every time he went out.”We don't complain, we just get up every morning and go out there to work and provide for our families that’s who we are as people”.True to be told there's always gonna be bad in the world but nobody deserves to be discriminated against because of where they come from or their culture .Immigrants are being discriminated against and it need to stop.

Treasures

For my sisters 20th birthday I got her this jewelry box.It was about the time when school was going to start and I was planing on buying my backpack that day.But I first went to go see how much the bag I wanted was and then I decided I would go see what I could give my sisters for her birthday.I found this really cute jewelry box and I was planning on getting her something else but I really wanted to get that for her so I choose to get my sister a gift and no the backpack.Then later of Christmas she gave me a jewelry box also.It has engraved on it" " .So I really think that something special that me and my sister share.Anothe really special gift I have gotten was my necklace with my name on it.It has a lot sentimental value to me and it always gonna be something I cherish forever and it's a memory of my godfather so in a way it's a part of him and me.Those are gift that are very speaical to me.

The Meaning of My Name

My name is Ashley and my sister named me. Back then the show full house was playing and my sisters loved the show.Originially my names was to be Luisa after my dads mom.But my mom never really liked the idea of naming someone after someone.Because the person being named has their own identity.Which is where my oldest sister decided to give my mom a name and that name was Ashley.Michelle was the little girl in Full House but her real name was Ashley Olsen.So I'm named after Ashley Olsen.I have my dads last name which means like a wall.Its a Spanish origin.My moms last name I believe my uncle told me it means short people standing on rocks which always makes me laugh.

"Tough time don't last Tough people do"

This quote means so much to me because I think everyone has gone throug tough times.It basically means that the tough time come and go.But the only thing that stays is you.You might be the same before and after a tough situation.Also because every situation is different some are not as bad and some are terriable.I think this quote give people hope that the tough times end but to be strong throught them.It makes people want to be strong thought these tough times and persevere through the tough time.Out of al the quotes this is the one that stuck with me.It connects with cause we have those rough patches but it reminds me to preserve though it.This is one quote has so much meaning to me.
