Chris Question Response

Well my parents have never held me back on anything. I really don’t talk to my parents about what’s going on in my life. I basically do what I feel like and if my parents ask I just tell them. I have been independent my whole life. There was a time when I ditched school and went to the immigration marches. The march was all over the news, my mom was watching it so I just told her, ”oh yeah I was there”, she looked at me and asked if I had school, I told her yeah but I ditched, she really didn’t care. So I felt relieved. I basically stated to talk to her about the march and how fun they were. I also told her I saw a couple of people from the church we used to go to. I also told her that they had mush pits and different kinds of music. I also told her all of the march chants we would yell out. There was a whole bunch in Spanish, English, Philippine, and many other different languages. There was one that said “no more Bush”, I thought it was hilarious.
As we walked I felt like I was helping a cause. When I went home I felt accomplished and really proud of my self. It was a feeling of wow I can not believe I was actually there. Every time there is a march I always attend because I see it as a step closer for legalization for all immigrants.
