  • Thesis For Enrique's Journey

    872 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout high school, many books are assigned to be read during the summer with the intent of opening students’ minds to learn. Students who read the books often find them enjoyable, however, there are some books that don’t acquire the same positive impact. Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario, unfortunately, happens to be one of those books. The writer attempts to shine a positive light on immigrants and their struggle to get into the United States for a successful life, but ultimately contradicts her message by the end of the novel when Enrique ultimately throws his life away once arriving. Enrique’s Journey should not be considered as required reading material because the situation portrayed only happens to a small percentage of immigrants

    Students will have a multitude of options based on their interests and the support they need to reach their fullest potential. In addition, as student populations change, based on cultures and backgrounds, I will be flexible and adaptive by creating student and parent engagement workshops to create awareness about, and end stigma against discussing suicide, bullying, mental health, and disability issues. Also, I hope to build partnerships with colleagues in creating a larger fund for my current scholarship for children of street vendors and help expand it Los Angeles County. As a daughter of a street vendor who had limited access to resources, as well as a first-generation Latina college graduate, I will have shown the students I serve, and my community, not only that I am a resource to them, but, more importantly that they can break down barriers themselves.
