Assignment # 11 The Concrete Rose

One windy day a baby boy was born in the back of the truck in a farm field in the middle of Chile. This was an unwanted baby. When born, the baby was named Jesus. This Baby was born in a family that had no money or food to feed him. When Jesus turned about seven he started working in the fields with his dad. They made just enough money to keep food on their table. But Jesus had big dreams of becoming a doctor which sounded impossible at the time. He loved education, but never really had the chance to go to school. On his tenth birthday his dad died and now surviving felt impossible.

Jesus and his mom decided to move to America so they can at least live a better life. They came to the land of opportunity with big hopes and dreams, but who knew about all the obstacles they were about to fight. It was around spring and time to go to the fields. Jesus had barley started school and was struggling with English and students bullying him at school. They called him many names not just because of his race but because he was a homosexual. This was nothing he imagined America would be like. He thought that they were accepting and caring, but they were none of that.

In a nation were Mexican values are low and even lower if they are a homosexual. Jesus strived towards his goals and tried to achieve them one by one. He started out by really doing well in school and right after that working in the fields with his mom. It still wasn’t enough for them to make a good living. Finally at the age of seventeen he graduated high school and was valedictorian. He was being offered so many scholarships from all around the nation. He and his mom moved to the great city of Philadelphia so Jesus can start his collage over there.

Well obstacles are things to overcome and there was nothing that can stop Jesus from fulfilling his dreams of becoming a doctor. From a little boy that was not wanted, working in the fields, his dad dying, being very poor , and getting bullied at school he was about to prove society wrong and achieve every and anything he had ever dream of.

So if that boy can do something that is almost impossible than why can’t a child at a better position do the same thing? There are times when you are going to face an obstacle like concrete for the flower, or bullying for Jesus, you just have to fight it and prove the whole world wrong so the next time that happens to another person or flower. They will have the courage to go against it. But before any of this can happen you have to believe in yourself and in miracles because anything is possible.

In around the early times humans thought that the planet was flat and that it was impossible to go to the moon. Look at it now, we are laughing at them because of their stupidity. I bet hundred years from now people will be laughing at us.
