Why is Asthma a big issue?

         Asthma is an issue in the community of Huntington Park, because it affects people of all ages, but most often start during child hood.

                  Many people fail to realize that Asthma is a problem in Huntington Park. For instance, children age are developing Asthma more than adults. This is important because, parents should be aware of the community they’re living in which is putting their kids in danger.  This matters because, according to statistics, it shows that Latinos are the most common race to develop Asthma, especially children.  Therefore, parents should take extra care of their children from all these allergens we are surrounded by. If your child does develop Asthma, make sure he or she use the medicines their doctor prescribed to them and get regular checkups.

              While others believe that asthma really isn’t big, this continues to be an issue because Huntington Park is known for living under poverty level. This means that, Latinos are actually the ones in danger developing this disease of our community. This matters because, we are in danger and it’s more than a big issue. Each year, nearly 3,500 people in the U.S. die from asthma. Ultimately, this is a big issue for us because we live in this community and we should be aware of developing asthma. Asthma is not curable, it can only be treated.

                  Lastly, this issue has become a problem because Huntington Park has several Hispanics living there with high ozone levels they are most likely to develop asthma because of that. For instance, we are surrounded by many factories that pollute a lot to the air and its one of the worst allergens. This means that, our air is polluted so much since everyone usually smokes a lot out in public and factories are manufacturing products that contain too much chemicals. This matters because, it is affecting everybody’s health. You can get asthmatic attacks, cancer, and breathing problem. Ultimately, this is a big issue because it should really concern the community. Currently, 235 million people are suffering from asthma. ( www.who.int)

                    It is time that our community should get together to protest against companies that work with chemicals that are affecting people’s health. Even though others may argue that, such chemicals won’t affect you. I believe that it does affect you because these can be deadly chemicals to people and it will lead to many side effects.

            

            

My Thoughts and Desires.

I really enjoy playing volleyball and basketball. I sort of like to dance also. I am planning on trying out for the girl's volleyball team for my sophomore year or cheer. I'm not really interested in sports but volleyball is the on;y sport that I enjoy playing, especially during P.E. playing with my friends. Cheer, I am not so sure, I'll probably try out for color guard? I don't know but I just want to get involved in something. My desires for the future are to work at Starbucks for my first job. It looks fun and also helps you for scholarships or whatever for school. I want to earn money and help my mom with the rent or probably help her to find a new place to live since I dislike where I live. Next year when I turn 16 I am going to get my permit since I'm barley already starting to learn how to drive and I am going to be working at Yoshinoya since my mom is the assistant manager at Yoshinoya. It's not all bad. I just want to have a job so I can buy my own things and help out my mom. It's better than nothing. After I am done helping my mom with rent and done graduating from highschool, I am striving to get in to USC or into any University. I am planning to get a house and move in with my future husband, get married, and have a beautiful family. I just want to be successful in life so I won't have to hustle in life. My mom always told me that she wanted me to better than her and that's what I'm going to do to make her proud. Also thanks to this class, I am learning to choose the right so I can lead myself to the correct path where I want to be.

 

"Act well your part; there all honor lies."

"Act well your part; there all honor lies."

By: Alexander Pope

What this quote define is that you should always act good and respectful. You should tell the truth. If you are kind and respectful then you are an honorable person. If you are rude and inconsiderate then you will have no honor. Like for example, lets say you are a boss but you will never always be honored. If you were disrespectful then of course you would not be respected or honored. If you were recommended to become boss or manager because you're fair, kind, and respectful, then you will be respected. You will have a good name and be remembered. We all have to act our parts. Meaning everything we do, we have to do it right. Not choosing the wrong. Everything has to be right. No matter how hard it might be to choose the right.

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." 

By: George Washington

What this quote defines is that of you bring friends along with you to places and you know how they act (negative) then you are better of alone. In my opinion I rather be alone in bad company because I either don't want to be embarrassed or hang out with the wrong crowd. If they are putting you down or giving you negative advice, just leave them because those people aren't worth your time. If you are alone you won't have to worry about anyone else but yourself. You will only have to worry about taking care of yourself and you should. You have stay focused on yourself not others. You should never depend on anyone but yourself. You shouldn't worry about being alone because friends become fake or stop talking to you. They come and go

"Right is right only when entire."

"Right is right only when entire."

By: Victor Hugo

What this quote means is that right is right when it is completely right. I agree with Victor Hugo. If something is half right then it really isn't right at all. For example, if you're walking through a street and walk pass a woman who has dropped her purse or wallet and find $36,000 inside, it is best to return it then keeping half or not returning it at all. If you give back the wallet and take half, that isn't still right because you stole some of the money. It's a little right but not completely right. It's good to do right because good will come back to you.
