U.S Citizen

It is coming very close, a day that my mom had anticipated since my birth. A day that will be a foothold to a future. I step that 1 out of 20 ever see. I am soon to become a citizen of the United States of America. The first in my geration, the foothold immigrant that started this future family. Out of my entire family I will be the first to become a citizen through naturalization. I am very happy, and I will hold proudly to that title...but sadly things are discouraging me. Like a man who runs to the finish line and holds onto his winning trophy, but then turns around and looks into the tired faces of the fellow athletes.

It really hurts me that the country that I may be stepping into will be one that is not at its best, but infact one that is falling apart. The ignorance sayings of stupid fellow men, the whitebreaded and trailer trash, the things they say about my people really just makes me want to throw down my trophy and not become a part of this ignorant society...make me want to walk away and search for a loving country. But America is all that there is, it is the city in the hills granting light to others that they may follow to one day to become a city in the hills. I cannot walk away from these ignorant people...whether I want to or not I must face them and show them that they are damned wrong! That there are mexicans, much more mexicans who love this country! In fact we betrayed mexico the moment we chose citizenship here. We work hard, take the backslashes for a 10% possibility that our children will have better lives. I love this country even if it is to fall apart, I love the original foundations that our forefathers believed in. I just don't like the current politics behind it, I don't like how republicans are supporting a hate bill towards immigrants, and how democrats are so liberal. I don't like that God has to be put away, yet we put ourselves in his place of priority. I want to see change in this country, I want to see a greater future for my children. And I want to be one to create the change. 

I am soon to be a Us citizen, and my new pursuit will be to surpass the common US citizen and show them that a brownskin did it.
