"We're young
adults but not fully
grown, and we still
might do stupid
things that we
have to learn
from." Dominique
Medina
"They say that
whatever you do in
the past creates
who you will be in
the future. I
believe that the
past is a study
course that
prepare you for
your future."
Shaniqua
Barrington
"I feel like I'm
not only doing
this for myself
but for ma
cousin and my
uncle who are
now deceased."
Brandon Carrero
"I think if there
were more
people in the
world like my
grandmas, there
would be less
drama in this
world." Josette
Sanchez
"I love you for you, you are my
inspiration, my light and my everything.
You're always in my mind. Mom you
are my hero, my best friend and like a
sister I never had." Kathryn Carrero
"When I tried to call my father, I found out
that he changed his number so I could not
reach him. I hope that I can find him one
day and return to them." Jean Carlos
Sanchez
"I know that if you want me to learn
something you got to teach it to me
with encouragement and you got to be
excited to teach. It doesn't have to be
with a lot of excitement, but with some
type of passion." Moises Marquez
"I've learned that forgiveness is important.
It isn't good to hold a grudge against
someone, no matter how much they hurt
you. If you hold a grudge in your heart it
hurts you, not the other person." Alisha
Roldan
"Baseball is not just a sport; it's a way
to connect with the people you
love...You are not only playing to win,
you are playing for the people that
played before you." Jean Castro
"I'm offended when the elderly don't get
respect. That just drives me crazy. They
have been here longer than us and they
have been through a lot in the world." Alex
Arroyo
"I am someone new today, and I feel good. Most of the time. Life is beautiful and it
saddens me to know that I hate it at times." Angelica Zapata
