College-4-All

    Hello, My name is Oscar Cervantes and I really want to go to College-4-All. One reason I want to go to College-4-All is because I want to have some experience with college and know what it’s like being and learning there. I also want to know whats the difference between Middle School, High School and College. I have been in Berkly’s college and I like what I heard and seen. My brother who was a former UPA student that is now in Fremont CPAA in the 12th grade is now signing up for a college. I always have followed his good leading steps and this step I’ll definitely take.

   

    One adjective to describe me might be Captain. One reason why I’m known for this is because I am not a follower and do what I know will be good for me so I can be successful. Another adjective that can describe me might be Smart. All my grades from UPA have been a 3.50 or above. Right now I am getting a 3.75 but trying hard to do my work and everything I have to do to get a better grade. Another adjective I’m know for is for being athletic. I love playing soccer! I play for the UPA Soccer Boys Team and I’m the Captain in the team. Whenever I feel sad or mad I play soccer with my friends or brother at the park. If I have time to do anything I play soccer. That’s another reason why I want to go to college. I want to learn about the activities and programs they do, specially if they do soccer. I hope I go to a good college and play college soccer there and hopefully professional.

    One challenge I have going on is hanging out with people who say are my friends but end up my enemies. I try to avoid all that by just hanging out with my real friends who I know will always be there for me. Another challenge I’m going threw is living in Oakland in a very dangerous street. This affects me because I can’t do all the things I want to do because I’m worried something is going to happen or someone is going to do something. The ways I try to avoid danger is by not getting involved with all the bad things I know happens around me, but to play soccer, be with my real friends, and most important be with my family who I know will tell me to do good things and not the bad so I can be successful and accomplish anything I set my mind to.

    Thank you for reading my College-4-All letter and I hope I go to this trip and college also.

                                            Sincerely,

                                            Oscar Cervantes

Oppression Paragraph

Prescriptions that are commonly heard are: That if you drink alcohol you will have a good time, I think that you don’t have to drink to have a good time, I think you have to just have fun the way you really like and not what other people say. Another prescription I heard about smoking is that if you are angry or sad you can smoke, and your nerves will calm down and will make you feel better. The system of alcohol and drugs is oppressive because many people believe what other people say but that is actually bad for them and will hurt them later on. Alcohol and drugs restricts people’s lives by maybe sometimes can get addicted and it will be hard for you to live without it and might hurt you very badly.

Liberation Paragraph

    Our community would be more peaceful knowing they wont be as many drunk drivers in the streets and have a possibility to run someone over.People would even smell better and not smell like alcohol or weed or anything, they’ll smell good. People would also feel better that they can do more activities and feel happier. Our community also need more community programs so teen can know whats good and whats bad so they can to the good and stay away from the bad. Overall everyone will feel safer.

Freedom Poem !

Oscar Cervantes

Freedom Poem

There are words like FREEDOM,

But also dark words like,

Oppression or Exploitation

Chains and Shackles

Making them, the oppressed feel like a caged bird, Slaves can do much work, But wont get paid the thing they deserve

There are words like LIBERATION,

That make me feel,

Free like a free bird,

Spreading its wings and flying through the air, Free from the cage of being exploited and treated like if I didn’t exist
