Cesar, El Heroe Lyrics
Verse(Jaylan)-He was fresh, like carne asada served with a side of orchata.
guess what homie I can make a gordita, Cesar Chavez was the best guess what homie, he finished the rest.
he believed, in equal rights he worked night and day, he stood up for his family everyday.
Chorus-Cesar Chavez believed in equal rights, he wouldn't back down from a single fight.
he had a good sense of mind, which truly made him one of a kind.
Verse(Jesus)-Cesar Chavez was a national hero, he was cooler than absolute zero.
he stood up for Mexican rights, the American government he had to fight.
he knew, que Dios estaba su lado. Jugo con la vida, tirando los dados.
he believed in God, su nombre es Dios, He prayed everyday, para que escuche su voz.
Chorus-Cesar Chavez believed in equal rights, he wouldn't back down from a single fight.

Resilience Cafe Essay
“We believe that unions have always been about much more than the industries in which they operate, the fight is never about grapes or lettuce ... It is always about people.”
- Cesar Chavez
Cesar Chavez and Isidro Olvera are similar, in many ways. They both believed in equal rights, they both fought for their cause without violence; and they both are my heroes.
Cesar Chavez is resilient, because he risked his body and life for equal rights to Mexican workers. He was born in March 31, 1927 in a small farm near Yuma, Arizona. As he grew, he saw that the Mexican workers were treated like dirt. He got older and decided to do something about it. He would fast from eating products from Mexican farm workers, he would start marches, and he would go on strikes. In 1962, Cesar Chavez founded the National Farm Workers Association. Later it became the United Farm Workers (UFW). He died on April 23, 1993, at the age of 66. He once said "The love for justice that is in us is not only the best part of our being but it is also the most true to our nature." That makes him resilient because he risked his life for equal rights to Mexican workers. He would literally do anything for equal rights to Mexican workers. Like Isidro Olvera, he would keep on fighting even when things got tough.
Isidro Olvera Perez is resilient because he would keep on living even when things got bad. Isidro Olvera was born on May 15, 1966 in a little town in Mexico called San Sebastian. He was a mischievous boy, but changed when his mother was in a bad condition. He changed his ways at that moment, but slowly became his old troublesome self. When his mother passed away on May 17, 1986, he completely changed his bad ways and became good. His heart changed as well, He later came to America to help Mexicans who were poor, who had no shelter or home. He became recognized in his church as one of the best community leaders in church. “Mas Vale un Paso que Dure, y no un paso rápido que canse.” That means it’s better to go slow and endure the pain, than to go fast and fall completely. Isidro Olvera is resilient because he completely changed his ways when the going got tough, and he had the heart to help others who didn’t have anything. It takes a lot of strength and endurance to be able to bounce back from a tragic event like that.
I connect with Cesar Chavez and Isidro Olvera because I believe in equal rights for everyone, and I help those in need. When I was in elementary school, I was one of the only Mexicans in the school, and I was discriminated against. The kids would call me names. They would make fun of me and they would say I was the color of poop. They would hurt me, but I didn’t let them get to me easily. Just like Isidro and Cesar, I would keep on going when they told me to stop; I would keep trying when they told me I couldn’t; and I would keep fighting when they told me I would lose. This connection is important to my life because it’s not just a legacy but a journey-a goal to accomplish. I will try my best to accomplish that goal and continue their legacy they left me.
Their legacy is a torch that needs to light all the candles of the world, until its flame has been spread to everyone in the world. My goal is to try to light as many candles as I can. Their legacy needs to continue forever, because everyone needs to know that they put their blood and tears to help their people, when others didn’t. I need to follow in their footsteps and do what they did, so I can touch everyone I can. Some people don’t realize that their legacy isn’t just a good deed, but a way of life.

Mi Querencia
A querencia is a safe place, a place called home. A querencia can be any where: from your house to the park, from your backyard to the beach. A querencia can be a comfortable place where you can relax or do your homework. Mi (my) querencia is my room. Even though i have to share it with my sister, my room makes me relaxed, safe and comfortable. My room brings back many memories from the past, like when i first got a bunk bed, or when i first broke my bed. it's difficult to explain the feeling when i'm in my room: i feel safe, comfortable snd relaxed. The best part of my room is my bed. i like to sleep on my bed after school is over. sleeping feels like angels are taking you up in the sky and laying you down on a cloud, until your dog somehow gets in and unleashes slobber world on your face (I hate That) sometimes, if i'm really tired, i go into a deep sleep. i'm trying not to do that, because last year i had a problem with sleeping after school is done, i would sleep then wake up at night time, then my mom would tell me to go to sleep, but i couldn't because i already did. so i would be awake all night. then, in the morning i would do my homework, and then go to school tired and hungry. my room and i are one, i don't care what people think I LOVE MY ROOM!

Podcast Reflection
A strength in the podcast project was typing the script because I had the whole project planned out in my head and all I had to do is write the script on paper. Another strength was creating the podcast on Garageband. I had personal experience and like I said, I had the whole project planned out in my head. My major challenge was converting the Garageband file to MP3 because the computers were really slow.
A writing goal is to write music because I think music is a good way to express myself. Another writing goal is to overall become a better writer. My plan of attack is my friends and family, because they can help me and they also they can give me helpful tips and ideas.
