Gladys Trejo Ornelas "Respect"

I earned alot of respect through out the last three years. I've earned it in both school, at home, and with friends. At school i would have to say i started to earn respect the day i decided to change the way people thought of me. Most would say i started to earn respect the day i got my mentor. I would have to agree because she changed my life around. Maranda (my mentor) saw the good in me and told me never to give up. THANK MARANDA!! Respect is one of the greatest things you can get from everyone. i then realized that i was better and that i could do anything i wanted to even if the rest of the world said i couldn't. i really earned alot of respect from my teachers eben if some of them didn't believe in me or that i would make it to senior year. not to point the finger ALTENBURG!!

At home i earned respect when i decided to straighten up with school. I also earned respect because i became more responsible. Going to school full time and having a part time job was hard because i would come home tired. But since school was my number one priority i knew i would have to keep up with school in order to keep working. At home i am respected alot more and now pushed really hard (mostly by my older sister Jasmin) with school because im expected to graduate. And i will!!

With friends i've always had respect. But i get alot more because they have all seen the big chage in me. They all know i want to graduate on time with the best class!! I can tell that they are all very proud of me for not giving up on my education. Even though some of them thought i wouldn't make it to senior year. [= I'm glad i've made it this far and that all stuck by my side and didn't let me give up. THANX GUYS AND GIRLS!! LUV YOU ALL!! AND yes RaNdY i love you a lil more then everyone else lol {wink wink}
