A letter to America

Dear America,
In this letter I want to inform you about a phenomenon that I am seeing now increasing in your streets. When I raise my head up to your skyscrapers I can see your economic strength but when I put my head down and look to your streets I see how poor is your society bonds when I look to your homeless. There are around 600000 to 700000 one of homeless whose sleep in the streets of one of the richest and strongest country. Most of them are in the streets because of drugs, craziness, and poverty. They all stay there because they have no one to support them when they make mistakes and their lives became very difficult.
I feel that your society problem is because your people don't have families and I mean family that consist of parents and children who lives together, care about each other, and support each other. You are not having families because you are not teaching them and increasing their awareness of how family is important in strengthen the relationships bonds. I can see that your young girls are having babies and their kids are staying with their mothers or their fathers and they mostly end up in the streets when they grow a bit more. If you went back before many years ago you can remember how did you use to have less homeless because kids were growing and opening their eyes seeing a mom and dad care about them and support them because definitely when kids or teens feel that no body cares about them, they will have no trust in themselves and they will be less careful about the work they do, and they'll be more likely to do illegal stuff that might lead them to be homeless when they grow up or when they see no body around them.
I wish that my letter helped in informing you about an issue that you have and you are not paying a close attention to it. I am willing to see your response to my letter by changing your society and making it better.

Dear 30 year old self,
I am concern about you, I want to know how is your life now and how did you like it. I want to ask you if you finish your college and took your master degree and what did you choose to study. I remember that you were really confuse about what to major whether architecture engineering or interior design or you choose to be a pharmacist as your father wanted. I am also wondering about what college did you go to. Did you go to the college that you wished to go or they sent you a letter saying sorry. I know you are proud of yourself because you finished your education and became a successful smart woman. I also want to tell you that your family is proud of you too. I wish that you didn't forget to call your mom each day and chill with your brothers each night laughing so hard until your father call on you to lower your voice. I wish that you didn't forget about your family back in your country and that America didn't change you and made you selfish. I hope that you are satisfied about what you did and what you are planing to do. I hope you achieving more and more dreams especially the ones that you have built when you were a 19 year old lady.
your 19 year old self,
Best

Aspects of My Identity

One aspect of my identity that people wouldn't be able to see when they look at me is that I am a hard worker when it comes to my future. I agree that I do think that some of the stuffs are really difficult and I might not be able to do and that what makes people think I am lazy but it doesn't mean that I am a lazy and I am really unable to do them. The best example that can describe this situation is when my Science teacher recommend me to take Biology Honor and I refused claiming that I wouldn't be able to pass the class since my English skills are  weak because I been in the United States only one year. But afterward i passed the class with an A and my teacher was impressed of how quickly i developed my skills and kept on track with the students in my class.  I usually support people especially my friends and my family members for instance I always encourage them to do whatever they think is right even though if it seem difficult and i always convince them that if they believe in themselves nothing would be impossible to achieve. For me I don't do that and sometimes it seems ridiculous when I think about how I am able to convince people that they can do whatever they want and when it comes to me I can't or feel afraid to do it. This fearing makes people think that I am hopless and careless about my future but in reality I think i would need only a few words to make me have more confidence in myself.
People around you can play a good role in shaping your confidence in yourself. In other words, people sometimes can increase your confidence and say "you can do it", "try your best" and they might discourage you to do so by saying "nah this seems really difficult" or "if it was me I wouldn't do it". I remember three year i was careless about my school work and even about my future and when I go back in memory I would also remember how my friends were also careless but now I feel that I've done a lot and I still have more to get it done. I wouldn't beleive that one day I would be one of the student that have the highest gpa,in school, i wouldn't believe i would be one of the students who are in national honor society nor one of the student who are willing to go to college and finish their education and have a good future. And all that happens because the people that i choose to be with were a helpful hands to find out my abilities and my skills. So be with the right people that always can  hold your hand while you are going the stairs steps of your future and not the people who would watch you falling from these steps and do none.
