not having the power

I am a student in Chabot College and going to transfer to Cal State East Bay this fall. I was born in Berkeley California. I have gone through many hard and difficult time in my life. I had some rough time in school. I was always getting picked on in Middle School which I would never wanted to go to school again. At time I wouldn't want to go to school when leaving my house I would cry and beg not to go. I was made fun of what I would wear and how I would talk. I was not feeling as I was a part of this world. I would try to hide my self throughout the middle school years in the library. Another rough time was when September 11, 2001. When the twin tours had an attack and it was said that the muslim people had done this. For me it was hard those days also thats when  everything went different way and how people would think about us. When people would see me they would say that I am a terrorist but really I am not a terrorist.  People would say many different things to me. I was not a person in power and I felt all left out. One day my principal came to talk to me and told me what is wrong. He was saying that I don't talk or socialize with others and I look sad.  I had told him what had happen he told me to be strong and to stand up for my self. So one day a boy called me a terrorist , and I was like "I am not a terrorist how do you not know if you guys are the terrorist and just blaming another country for it."  After standing up to my self many things has changed and went well. Throughout High school I stood up for my self and didn't let people talk to me in a bad way. When I stood up for my self and talk back had made a big differences. A person who doesn't have power over them self, people can walk all around them and it can hurt. I was hurt  a lot but after talking back it made a difference. Also the people who has more power can over rule everything. It is hard for a person to not have power because they will not mean anything to anyone and they can't do much. I say that everyone shouldn't let people step all over them. They need to speak up and stand up for them self no matter what nationality they are and where they are living or grown up. Everyone needs to have power and to be brave. I see that many people judge and talk about African American also and say things but it is not true. People just believe what people are saying and not seeing it for themselves. I think that is not right and also their are always fingers getting pointed at African American and I say that not right. 

Homework

While looking at the picture it was giving me a feeling about how people are thinking of other people in different ways and thinking the wrong way. In this image their is a African American child and a white child. On the ad it is saying that the African American girl is dirty and not clean. On the bottom of the picture it saying that if her mamma washes her with soap. Also it remind me in class how we got into a groups. And we talked about how their are different ways of people think. It is true that people are being judge by others. They always have to blame The negro people about things that they are not sure of it, they just listen to what people are saying. People are thinking that by the skin that black people are not clean. I say that is not true and it is not right to judge someone by the color. Also in this society people are not looking for the answer. They are hearing it from others around them and they are believing what they are being told.  I see it all the time and say that it is not right for them to do such a thing. Everyone is a human being and they should be respected in a right away as other should be treated. People listen to others and they go as what they are being told and thinking that when a person say that it is right. People think of African American (negro) people in a wrong way and they should see it for their self. In the ad that I have choose it is saying that the white child is thinking that the African American child is not clean and dirty that she was asking the child if her mom is washing her or does she take a shower. Also in the image it is showing the clothing style of the white girl and African American girl is different. In the image is is showing that the African American child doesn't have her shoes on her clothing are torn. The white child has shoes on and how she is clean and neat she has a book in her hand. To me it is saying that the whites are more educated than the African American.  Also in this image it makes me sad how they are showing one person to be rich and good looking than the other child. I say that everyone can be different and look different but it is not right to judge. Every person in this country and world can't really afford what other can so I say that everyone should respect each other and be nice. Also in this ad it makes a different and on each race and how they are different by the features. I have notice in this environment that people can just judge you by the features, the looks, the way you dress and how you look overall. I say that everyone in this world is different and they come from a different area so they should respect everyone even the African American as they are treated.
