Finals week is here and is the most stressful part of the quarter for me. These finals either mean passing the class or not. It is though sometimes because I try to attend every class but things happen and I am unable to attend. Although I am doing fine in most of my classes, the one class that I have not missed, not even one day, is the class that I am having the most trouble with. I guess I always just put studying for class aside and worried more about my other classes. I have learned many things during my first year here in college, but the one thing I have really learned not to do is to procrastinate. I think this is the biggest issue with college students these days. We wait until the day before to start studying for a midterm or final. Trying to cram all that information is not such a good idea because it is too much information to handle at once. I have also learned that you cannot put studying aside. This is a lesson that I have learned from my own mistake of putting studying aside. But now I know and there’s no excuse for it happening again. Now I just hope that I do my best on all my other finals that I have coming up and good luck to everyone on your finals!!!!

Gang Injunctions in Dream Homes

The reason why I chose to do my final project on the gang injunctions in Dream Homes is because this injunction has affected me in many different ways. Although I am not part of this gang two of my older brothers were part of it and they were two of the many that were filed with this injunction. Although my brothers were filed with this injunction, I believe that this injunction was a good idea to control the violence. For many years my mother tried to make my brothers understand that this was not a good lifestyle for them but they just would not listen. Due to my brothers affiliation with gangs my family and I have witnessed things that we would have rather not seen. Finally the Riverside County decided that the violence in this neighborhood had to end and did something about this. Ever since the injunction was issued the rate of crimes has decreased in this neighborhood which makes me feel safer in this neighborhood.
