16. Explain a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.
A significant experience I have faced it going around the mall and asking people for donation in order for our school group to walk an eighteen mile walk to help the Unión del Barrio raise funds to support the struggle against migra terror and community self-defense. Many civilians just hear the word “deportation” and “immigrants” and walked away or said I don’t have money, which made me realized even though the government keeps on asserting that is a “free country” there is still discrimination and preference of “race”, this country categorizes people and from that they choose the category they view as true Americans. This is going against the constitution by discriminating people by the color of their skin just because it is darker than theirs, it doesn't matter if you’re even a tad darker or that you speak a different language we are all one race and that is the human race and we all deserve freedom. Americans now where once immigrants too, which takes away their right to discriminate and want to keep immigrants out they are being hypercritical, no they are behaving like Hitler killing a immigrants just for wanting to be in a better country and have a brighter future for them and for their children. Why must one who wants to progress in life suffer for one who does not know the price of freedom and takes it for granted, it is not fair to see someone want to succeed and the right being taken away for not having paper or a passport. We live in a very unjust country even though we think of it as a free county, we lionize this country, and even though we watch it we let it do this atrocity we don’t stop it and we ever will. Well thanks to this experience I will stand up and I will fight I will find a way to make everything better for people who are trying to find a better future.
