Problems & Struggles

Problems and struggles that high school students face on a daily bases ranges from minor issues such as difficulties understanding their homework to larger much more dangerous encounters such as physical abuse.  Take for example, high schools tend to present an assembly dedicated to bullying due to its growth among high school students, approximately every semester. Perhaps the bullying is not shown through bruises and scars yet, bullying presents it’s self through various forms. Personally I believe that verbal abuse is the greatest demonstrated among Hispanic cultures due to the belief that words cannot harm the individual. Especially when it is presented among family members such as a father and son or within siblings.   Words don’t seem to cause any damage yet, at times what is not seen is what causes the greatest harm.  Personally, I believe that physical abuse is focused on to intently that verbal and emotional abuse is not taken in consideration that there needs to be a change within those two sub-branches of bullying.

The Most Interesting Person in the World

My grandfather is a man that carries with him stories from his past and modern times that he has encountered.  Due to his nationality of being born in Mexico and crossing over the boarder to the United States he has experienced and seen as well as heard from his siblings various bizarre moments in which have become into entertaining stories.  Take for consideration the story in which he told at my birthday party reunion among my family members consisting of scorpions and a life lesson.  Since I am now eighteen years old he shares his experiences with me about when he was 18 years old himself in Mexico on my great grandpa’s ranch.   He would have to go to the fields and work among rocks and filth to package “nopales” as he calls it.  Yet, throughout those years on the fields he has been stung about 8 times with scorpions that  hide among the rocks.
