Personal Narrative: Leticia

360 Words2 Pages

As a single parent, it’s easy to live in fear. Parents have to worry about their child’s academics, health, well-being, and even safety at school due to all the recent crimes that have been taking place. But even though you’ll never stop worrying, you can’t let fear control you. When I was raising Leticia, every day I gave myself piece of mind by praying or putting positive energy on her whenever she left our home. There’s no way I could be with her everywhere she went, so why drive myself crazy about things I couldn’t control? Instead, I had to trust that my spiritual source would protect her and keep her out of harm’s way. With all the fear I experienced as a child, this was hard to do. For a while, I was very overprotective. However, I finally

  • Personal Narrative: Pico De Gallo

    1177 Words  | 5 Pages

    Growing up in a Mexican household, the food we ate always had a spice to it. Whether the spice was on the side or already prepared in the food, my food always had a spice to it. My grandma’s favorite signature spice was her Pico De Gallo. Pico de Gallo also called salsa Fresca, is made from chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, fresh Serrano’s (jalapeños or habaneros are used as alternatives), salt, and key lime juice. At first I did not like Pico de Gallo because I couldn’t bear how spicy it was.

  • La Greta Personal Narrative

    169 Words  | 1 Pages

    La Greta, I really enjoyed reading your post as I have been a part of such programs since I began my career as a police officer 18 years ago. I started by conducting parole checks on violent offenders and quickly learned how little they were prepared to return to society. You are very correct in that an offender’s re-entry starts the minute they begin their sentence. This is going to require the cooperation and collaboration of the prison system, probation and parole, law enforcement, prosecutors, social services and public housing. The money is out there in the form of federal grants and it just takes a little work to find them on the internet.

However, a month before my fifth birthday my family made the decision to move to the United States and in doing so liberated me from these expectations and gave me the freedom to explore my own interests and beliefs.

Adding on to that, I have met even more people that have gone to Marquette that have really liked it and are usually successful in life. I met even more people at the Marquette open house that were from all over the United States and said they went to Marquette and they hope their child will attend Marquette as well.

    A lack of quality education is common in impoverished areas such as Baltimore, but with more funding, it is possible to provide a safe learning environment for a child. Education is a key factor in a child’s life; with more education, “the more their lives are going to be improved” (“Education Breaks Cycle”). While there is a general idea that education can only influence one thing—the knowledge a child has—it can also aid in supporting a child emotionally. One way that a child’s life can be improved by education is through support: “Schools also offer children support in the form of teachers and staff who have mandatory reporting requirements that can help alert officials to cases of abuse and neglect” (“Education Breaks Cycle"). Allowing children to seek out a figure to help them out opens a pathway to breaking the cycle by gaining better role models and allowing children to have the support they need while growing up.

  • Argumentative Essay: Why Do Students Need Law Enforcement In Schools

    1400 Words  | 6 Pages

    Being safe at school is something that a person shouldn’t have to worry, about but it has become a concern for a lot of parents, teachers, and school administration. Increasing security in high school, middle school, and elementary school would help control and protect the kids from possible threats, as well as creating a safe learning environment and show kids that police officers are good people. Most middle and high schools nowadays have resource officers in the building or some sort of security within the school. In 2007 only 40% of schools in the country had a school resource officer on campus (James and McCallion 11). From a study done by The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice services, they reported that “‘an overwhelming majority of students and staff feel safe at school’ as a result of school resource officers (SROs) being present in school buildings” (Weiler and Cray).
