A Fabrication in Time

A fascinating demonstration of strength, compassion, and mercy was all it took to get a certain someone into a school they wanted. There was a truly inspirational story about this person that inspired me unlike anything else I've ever heard. It may seem odd that this story comes on a day like this. This is a day full of economical crisis. This is a day that most people struggle to avoid. To be honest the occupy Wall Street movement really wasn't for nothing. The people stood there for countless days and this occupy Wall Street has now become occupy Los Angeles, occupy Davis, and many other counties around the nation have caught onto this epidemic. It's only spreading like a wildfire and without the patrons in Libya, Tunis, Syria, Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries than maybe occupy Wall Street would have been a folklore parents would tell their kids about. Maybe this whole thing would have never happened. We were strong because we say that the Arabs were strong. We knew that we could not live under a reign were the rich steal from the poor. This is all while the government sits and watches. Trillions of dollars in tax payer money, but the real question is where did it go? I say it went to the pockets of big politicians and corporate heads, as bonuses at the end of a year. I think that we've been played my fellow Americans. I feel like we've been taken advantage from for way too long. Do you sit and watch another human being ransack your house for years, than maybe one day when you’re tough enough to say something, they start to ransack a little less.  It's not fair what this government has done to us. This is a facetious government after all. This is just a little background to help you think outside the box when I tell you this dramatic, yet highly motivating story. 

It began on the first of November this year. I would have told you that this person was blind sited by this world, but then that would be just too obvious. You see, one thing that this person went through is financial difficulty. School as most of you have heard has been raised 18% for the University of California and by the next four years it would practically be as much as any private school. This flustered this person. The person could not afford to keep going to school and her work would barley be enough to pay for classes and books. She, the twenty year old girl had no other way out. She studied longer than any other person in her class. She got an A in everything, but her parents some would ask. Well what about her hard working parents. You meant the ones living of off well fare and barely make thirty thousand a year, I would respond. She had a family of seven. All her siblings were younger than her, but this didn't prevent her from trying hard. Her will power was unbelievable, but during these rough times things had to go only one-way. She couldn't ask for money from her parents and put them into another tight spot, nor could she herself pay for the school. She had no other choice. She had to drop out. Money is what makes us and sometimes, if not mostly all the time, it is what breaks us. Alongside a couple other factors I would also say, but mostly this makes a difference in a family living beneath poverty. We are the nation of freedoms and we were supposedly a nation that had happiness. Well it definitely doesn't seem like we have it now. You'd think after all that, she would give up on life, but no she struggled harder.  She went to Wall Street. She protested and shouted and yelled because she believed those horrible people, the politicians and brokers, deserved it. She was definitely more than right. They are trying to reset the system. Kill human dreams. The adults can barely handle it, how do you think the children and the young adults would go about treating it. I myself cannot bear to see this nation in pieces. After this young women's protest though, after her diligence, her school found out about it and commended her honor because they believed that she was doing what was right. She was more than puzzled. She didn't know why, then she remembered that the week before she was asked by the news casters that covered the story of occupy Wall Street asked her why she was there. She responded with this, I am a nineteen-year-old woman. I have come a long way, from the beaches of California to the coasts of New York. I have come to stand against my right because people don’t deserve this. I have a family of seven and I've made this way, after dropping school because the rates were ridiculous, to New York for them so that our voice can be heard. We struggle everyday. We barley have enough to get through the day, but thank god.  

This in my opinions is diligence and it must have taken so much gut to say that to the world. There was a UCLA student who did the same thing during the war in Libya. He left to fight with the people of that country even though his skin was not of theirs. His yellow skin did not prevent him from fighting with those who were brown. It shows that we must fight till the very end even though we are in a bustle. Some person might recognize us for our diligence, but we must try even harder to show them that we are stronger than that. To show them that whether we are Bruin's or just normal adults, our right's have been taken away. I say join me so that we can fight for those with compassion and diligence. So I say why not fight for them now rather than later and if not for my reasons, then just fight for the right to be free.
