Making Peace
This has not been just another English class; it has been more than that. During this semester I have learned so much about Peacemakers, organizations, what is happening in our neighborhood, and at the same time I was able to improve my English skills, and how to express myself and what I think through blogs and assignments. I learned that there are so many people out in the world making a change for peace. And I know that I am contributing with little things such as helping my community. At the moment I’m working with the local foster organization called Lutheran Social Services in gathering donations such as toys for their Christmas Party, and in a couple of weeks I will helping out with the ‘Secret Santa’ held by the Salvation Army and America’s National Technical Honor Society.
As for the future I cannot really say how it will turn out to be, but one thing that will continue to be in me is HOPE. Hope that, one day, things will change for good; hope that people will change their mentality and open up their hearts to a better world. I will continue putting my effort in all I can do to help out in one way or another. I have always enjoyed helping my community through organizations and on my own. I may not be the greatest peacemaker, but I know I can start making a change with little steps.

Crime in Juarez
A couple of months ago there was a well known masacre in Cd. Juarez, where around fourteen people were killed, and several others severly injured. It was at a teenage boy's birthday party and a group of men showed up with AK-47's looking for for someone. When they found out that no one new anything about this person, they decided to shoot. There was a lady among the innocent people that were killed, the mother of the bithday boy, who was carrying a little like inside of her. These men did not care a bit for who was there or if they had nothing to do with the peson that they were looking for.
This is what shocks me the most, how there are some people out there committing crimes just to get money, people without a heart. How can they sleep? Everything has changed over the years, unfortunately not for the best. I have not lost hope that one day, there will be a change that will make things better.
