| Hola,
mis amigas! Como estas, girl? I'm
a sophomore in high school -- I dig singing, dancing., and dressing
up!
I want to be a teacher -- I have three little sisters and I want to show
them that latinas can go to school and be successful
working women.
I live in
Santa Ana, we have gangs and stuff, but we have lots of nice families,
too.
I have
long, dark brown hair and brown eyes .
I
don't have a car -- I usually ride shotgun with my bro Jesse.
I love J. Lo and Madonna! |

Dear
Diary,
There was a fight at my Homecoming Dance.
Two guys started
flashin' gang signs, then goin' at it over a girl. No, it wasn't
me. It was Elsa. You see, she's pregnant.
One of the guys
is her BF. The other is her bro. They like, hated each other
even 'fore this happened. You see, they belong to diff gangs.
Elsa's wiggin'
out. I'm worried big-time 'bout her --- she pops black beauties
24/7. That scares me, imagining what the drugs are doing to her baby.
She says
she's getting rid of the baby. She 's gonna get an abortion.
She's, like, telling me all this
in the girls' head and that the kid is her bro's baby!
I'm freakin'!!
Like,
what is happening here? |
|
I keep thinking 'bout what Sister Jovita told us --
"God's children
are created when the whisper of a man's love touches a woman's soul," she
said, trying in her own way to explain sex.
But what if I
got pregnant, like raped or something, what would I do?
I need an
answer I can like, live with.
Are you
listening, God, are you? |
