Immigrants in Our Own Land BY JIMMY SANTIAGO BACA

The poem I mmigrants in Our Own Land by Jimmy Santiago Baca relates to Righetti because we all come from different places and different families. We don't know what goes on behind someone else's door. Do you know what goes on behind mine? However we are tried to keep seperate between ap classes and regular classes, seperating the "good" from the "bad" or whatever they call it but we all have some bad and some good in us. Did we see what happened to Saint Joseph a couple years ago? They claim they are elite beings but they had accusations of unreported rape! There is cold hard proof of "bad" in the middle of good. Or take for example Pioneer Valley and there girls basketball coach. Yes he was "let go" but the good is the girls basketball team went to CIF and were league champions, the good out of the bad. Does society only look at the bad in anything and call them bad? Why not look past the differences and the small group of people in our small community of Righetti and look at all the good Righetti produces? We have students going to college getting into world class programs. There is good in everything, let's look for it.
