Thoughts On Where I Am

Inhaling the scent of reality I've become intoxicated by the revelation of tomorrows possibilities. It's for then that I've been stubbornly building my existence rather than feeding on the being of another's creation. Not acknowledging the fruits of dreams once dreamt, nor basking in the greatness of their new found reality. For there is more to do...Y para mas que vivir! (And for more to live!)

Far

Far from where we could be...at where many thought we could get. Why not reach further and expect more. Why give in to the distractions and not think on par to where our minds can fly us to. Why be what is told to exist and not what we feel can be created. So we navigate with maps that were created to be followed...instead of making maps that should not be.

MSW hmmmm.

Soooo it looks like Humanistic Multicultural Ed. might not be for me after all. Ohh what a world of idealism I live in. Ya see... I've always wanted to help people. To build myself up like a Phoenix raising from the ashes and then raise others along whatever path I walk. This is and has for a very long time been my life goal. My purpose.

The interesting thing is that I think the dream began with Edward Olmos. That intense yet rather not good looking (at least not for me...then again I prefer the laaadies " Giggity Giggity AAAAAAlllriiiight") man stood tall and strong in the movie "Stand and Deliver".

If you haven't seen that movie then you need to go somewhere and get it now...I'll wait...WILL YOU HURRY UP I'VE GOT A BLOG TO WRITE! Ok so get it later. Anyway, I watched it with my sisters and as I watched it I had an epiphany. I am Latino! I am strong and no one can stop me but myself. This new found perception was furthered every day I watched my older sisters leave our project apartment in business attire with briefcases and a determination in their eyes to get themselves and their family to the promised land. Ever since then I've fought to educate myself for a better tomorrow.

Everyday I'd ask myself; who am I to not fight for a better tomorrow for myself and others when my ancestors fought for me to be in the position that I'm in today. When Mami y Papi worked hhhaaaarrrddd for me and my sisters to never go without a meal. We might not have had the nicest things or the coolest cars but we had food, love, a place to live and each other.

Boooyyyyy am I off topic...I'll get back on subject next time.

Peace, Paz, Salaam,
Latin

Learn, Educate, Repeat!
