Improved Essays
Hello everyone,

About two years ago, I was working at Pima Community College at the northwest campus in the library as an office aid. Every day when I was driving to the campus, I was facing homeless people were standing on the roads or next to the traffic lights asking people to help them with money or asking people to assist them with their needs. I was seeing them every single day; Regardless if we were in a summer or winter season. Also, I was facing different people not same people that I saw them in the day before.

When I saw him, I turned my face to my friend and sister unexpected that might happen. So, I told that “I know that guy, I saw his several times on Ina & Shannon.

He actually saw me. I said “I think I saw you before” He was confounded and does not know exactly what should he do; but he said “no, it might be another guy looks like me” and walked away.

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals.

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
