Chavira, Amada Isabel
What Could Happen Next?
School? Do you like school?
Maybe not, maybe yes
Who invented the jail?
Is it the same person who invented the school?
I don’t know, I want to know who did that.
Study, study, and study
It is a headache, it is a torment!
Oh no! School again
Wake up early,
Who likes that?
My father has no career
My mother has one
My sister never likes school
My brother doesn’t care for school
And me? What do I want in my future?
Who can help me? I need help!
I don’t want school anymore
I want parties, friends, and hobbies
School is my nightmare
I am young and I think like this.
In the future, when I don’t have anything
When I need to have my own support
What could I do if I don’t have a career?
Can I continue with friends?
Maybe in parties?
My hobbies can help me?
I don’t know
I need to start thinking about me
I cannot survive just having fun
I need something else.
A career?
An education?
An opportunity?
Learning?
Knowledge?
Oh, my god what is going on?
The time is going away and
I don’t know what to do next
What could I do next?
Work?
Leave my parents?
Go back to my country?
Get married?
“No!” My mind screams,
“You have to continue with your learning”
What could happen next if I learn?
A better life, a better education, a better future
A better me.
