Job, 05/05/09
"Your job and your child's job". That is what the poster read as I walked by. At first I didn't really think deeply about it. I mean, it made sense, that is what is, "keeping us going". "But then it came to me, like there was a light bulb above my head that suddenly just turned on. "It's a cycle", I thought. In order to survive here, everyone has to go through that cycle. That same cycle whether you attend UCLA or a small college in Georgetown, whether you become a psychologist or a carpenter. Then I thought about the word "child", I mean it was hung up near an elementary school, but those were not the only people who could view it. As I was walking, I missed a step and tripped over my foot, then it hit me! Ishmael says that school is just there to keep more competition out of the job market; but what did they mean by the poster. Were they trying to get across that those are the steps? Maybe they were trying to inspire the kids. At their ages, they want to be like their parents. All I could think about was that poster, but once I arrived at the park for the Cinco De Mayo celebration my thoughts disappeared and I was in awe. I became flabbergasted when I saw all the pinatas and the little kids running around having a blast. I did not think there would be so many people. From political thoughts, to this cultural celebration; these experiences made it an interesting day.
