What Social Justice means to me is when justice is being done and having opportunities to move on in life and continuing with your studies. One example that i really learned when i walked into to Social Justice High School that impacted me was when the hunger strikers did something for the community they striked for a high school around Little Village. Since we didn't had a school around us they decide to strike for it since they had already promised the school to us. The only school around was Farragut which was kinda far from here it was already packed and it was dangerous for some teenagers since it was “gang boundaries” it would cause them to dropout. Justice wasn't being made until the hunger strikers did it for 19 days without eating or leaving the place because later on in the future it would help us students to study at a safe place. One good example that is currently happening now are the elections racism is happening all over again thanks to Trump he is bringing out all the negativity to the people and now they started to think like him as well. Media brings out everything he says and When Sanders says something they only bring the part they want because of racism we went back to the old days when it had started. A lot of violence has been going on when people try to stop they use violence to stop it so it's really not working for no one. In my class i feel like there is justice but then again not as much as i want because some people be bullying others or just saying rude things when something happens to another classmate instead of supporting them they just bring them down. Justice should be made in this case because some people could have big problems when they don't get enough help from others. The definition of Social Justice has changed because instead of making the things right they change to negative we don't follow the rules we don't make justice no more as we should people think they have more rights than others when are all the same.
In life there's a lot of obstacles that life puts us through that sometimes we don't manage to look at them and solve it instead we just avoid them. Many people including me we try to avoid it because we think that that's easier instead of solving it at that time but later on it would catch to us. We avoid Social Justice that's why we don't achieve it. A Historical Obstacle is minimum wage some parents be having full time jobs and they still don't have enough money to support the family so there for the kids have to work a part time job or leave school, leaving school would take out the opportunities for students to achieve their school goals. Minimum wage does affect our justice because we are leaving opportunities leave. We see this issue everyday but we manage to avoid it because it doesn't affect us. A current obstacle is immigration. Immigrants don't have the opportunity to get federal funding for school or get a scholarship since one of the requirement is to have a social security number and immigrants don't so that's one of the obstacles that don’t let us move on since we can achieve it because people don’t want to help the people that do need help. In life people think that having power is all you need to run a country but no in reality if we all help each other share the money for school we would be a better country we would be progressing to be a future to a better us there would be less gang related since students would be focus on school instead of these streets. My experience on not achieving Justice in class was when i went to science fair all the other schools had good and better supplies for their projects and my school didn’t had enough money for my project i had to do a simple one.
My vision for struggle is when you think you can't do it no more and you feel like giving up but then something keeps you going and reach your dreams. Things that helps us reach social justice is by doing things the right way like if you have a point you are right your color age ethnicity shouldn't matter, because right now we live in a world of a lot of racism were if you are under age you shouldn't have a voice were if you are Mexican or African American you are wrong when that's not true. I hope that social justice advance during my lifetime by everyone having equal and same rights not just certain ones or who ever has more money should have more power. Is like we are buying the laws by them putting the money on governments pocket. Vision should be something clear and positive everyone should see. When i was a freshman i came to school but i didn't had good grades it was mostly D’s i would pass my classes with i wouldn't really care about school. Thru my sophomore year things happen to me that made me realize what i was doing with my school life things change my life i was at a point to drop out but i didn't i kept going with school it was hard to bring my gpa up but i did i'm still working on it and i improved so much that myself i am proud to say my story of what was going on.
A struggle for me is when i feel like when everything is dark but at the end of the path is light and bringing you a better future. When people are struggling or they are feeling down i been there to help them out and tell them what's wrong i give them advice. Some people do have more problems than others they struggle but manage to keep going. I could really relate with people when they have problems i can make them understand of how things happen for a reason. My commitment is to improve society of how it is now i think on my family the lil ones of how things are going to be for them when time passes and society gets worse everything everyday that passes. I want the best for them i believe my family is my motivation.
