Both of the main characters, Danny and Joaquin, come from two different cultural backgrounds which makes it very hard from them to fit in and feel comfortable in their own skin. Danny, being both Mexican and white, struggles to fit in with the white kids at his elite high…

name, along with his image is a business in its self. While I myself am not a famous rapper or a big time hip-hop mogul, I still see myself as a business.

This book is one that has stayed in my head since the moment I opened the cover, and far beyond the last hours, late at night, when I finally turned to the last page. It raised for me this one thought: If an ordinary person can make that much of a difference, think of how much an extraordinary one…

morning I place my right hand over my heart and recite the pledge of allegiance. I stand tall at any sporting event and proudly gaze at the American Flag during the National Anthem.

First off, not only does the revolting Parliament have the nerve to create…

Who I Am I have changed a lot so far in high school. No one is still the same person they were in junior high, and definitely not the same person they were in elementary school. Everyone is always changing constantly and that is one of the most beautiful things in life. It is kind of like how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly.
