Back to the old days we thought. We did what we would always do in Chicago, hang out, have cook outs every other weekend and celebrate everything together. But we were all a bit older by then, knew more stuff and understood old saying our aunts and uncles would joke about. But it was mainly my uncle Beto who would always try to make me mad. I would sometimes go along with it cause i knew he was just one of my rude-goofy and playful uncles. He would also tell me what to do and what not to do i thought to my self he isn’t my dad to tell me what to do. Until I just had enough of it, all of his playful jokes and being bossy I would take them personal and get mad. So I started to make rude comments about him, making fun of him, even told him to leave the house and not to come ever again here. After we didn’t talk for some time because I was mad, he change with with me, he was nicer calling me " bebe " in Spanish, meaning " baby " in English. Every now and then he would joke again but it was rare when he did, and of course I would respond by saying something rude back. We didn’t have that relationship we had when we lived in

    Our field trip to Chicago offered me a new way of seeing the city. I have been to Chicago multiple times, yet this trip offered me an experience I was not expecting. It offered me an insight to the darkness that covers the city and the beacons of light that try to shine through that darkness. It opened my eyes to those who are searching for a truth, a love and an acceptance and are finding it in so many different places; whether it is Jesus People USA, South East Friendship Center, Olive Branch, a Krishna Temple or an Islamic Mosque. In each of these places individuals are just trying to figure out where they belong and if they can find acceptance, but what each offers is entirely different.…
