I had to overcome the issue with my mother leaving my siblings and I for my entire junior year of high school. With her leaving, I wasn't able to express myself in the same ways that teenagers should. I was filled with all types of emotions and wasn't able to concentrate on things such as school. Isolation was the way for me to keep my emotions bottled up. It was a way to keep my actions in check and not act out in unreasonable manner. I was out taking full-time PSEO courses and balancing that with work and helping my younger siblings with food and sports. Overtime, I noticed that being a parent figure to my siblings was becoming a daily routine. I didn't have the time and space to focus on myself and build true character. With the PSEO grades

    Isolation is commonly attributed to negative connotations, which is a fair assumption given how it is portrayed in popular culture. However, loneliness and isolation can in fact become powerful avenues for the attainment of positive or productive attributes. Furthermore, isolation breaks societal norms and allows an individual to obtain peace with oneself. Isolation is utilized as a means of positive self-development and discovery that allows one to reflect upon their behaviour and life. This is accomplished through the usage of isolation as a method of reaching transcendence, the ability to adapt isolation into a period of self-reflection, and the utilization of isolation as motivation for various personal endeavours.

    As humans there is a set of things we can do intrinsically and a set of things we cannot do. In between lies an infinite spectrum of things some of us can and some cannot do. Some of these abilities are rare, while others pervasive. Swimming fits in that gray area, but it seems – at least to this native Californian boy – farther on the pervasive side.

    An event that transitioned me from being a child to moving up into adulthood would be when I got my first job. I say this because now I get to make my own money and spend it how I want to spend it. Before, I always needed to ask my parents for money so I can go to places I wanted to go but after getting a job it showed me that now I needed to work, and earn, my paycheck rather than it just being given to me. When I began earning money it gave me a slight perspective of how my parents had to earn their money to get things they wanted along with my other siblings and me. When I had my own spending money I immediately wanted to begin paying for my wants and needs, just to experience what it was like having that sort of responsibility.

    When I walked into the journalism lab on the first day of school, I was clearly in a disarray, but, then again, so was The Raiders’ Digest. I was, after all, a dazed freshman. In retrospect, however, I realize that this probably was one of the most significant moments of my high school career - it was the day I found a passion, but, most importantly, it was the day I found a home. My school newspaper, on that day and for many days prior, had been in a state of deterioration, slowly regressing in terms of content, resources, and, primarily, interest.

    With that in mind, it is now time to explore the various other factors to which connect my personal experience with the police and Freire’s ideas on the banking and problem-solving methods. And to do that, one must be able to understand my past life before the incident, more specifically, during my time in Eliot Middle School. During my time in middle school, I was part of the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation, where I would constantly interact with different sheriff officers within Altadena. Of course, I now know that there is a difference between a sheriff and a police officer, but at the time, I simply thought they were one in the same.
