All the essays, poetry, and social commentary in this collection have been written and edited by students and staff from Juarez-Lincoln High School. As seen on TV, students in this deep South Texas town study and excel well. The dodging bullets avoiding Mexican Cartel recruiters disguised as students, living will helicopters overhead, high speed chases ending in deaths, dead bodies on the side of the road. Can a student living with malicious use of military grade weapons around them being used succeed in earning and being college ready without our help as a community? We need to reach out to border towns and help students that are dedicated to become successful and contribute to society. Help La Joya ISD students reach their true potential and not have to worry about dodging bullets to get to school safely. |
