Life: Motivation
During a brief interlude from coloring Mr. T (tall teeth) one of my classmates innocently inquired, “Are you dumb?”
I whispered back confused, “Well…no, I don’t think so. Why do you ask?”
“I told my mom that you were Mexican and she said that you must be dumb.”
I cried that night but remembering my mother’s voice I quickly calmed...
“Jonathon, you not only represent your family and yourself, you represent every Mexican American in this country. Believe me, you can break down barriers, you can be someone, and I know you will.”

jonathon your words bring motivation to anyone, i tell you this and i swear to you that whenever you make your run for president i will be one of the first to line up at those booths to vote for you, every word you ever speak from the first time i ever heard u speak to now just make u want to do something in this world and few people can do that, you have truly been given a gift, keep using it
It's a sad thing when the ignorance of parents becomes the ignorance of youth.
