Who am I?
I am a troubled student in
middle school
I talk back to the teachers
I get in fights
Teachers hate me
In school suspensions
One point GPA was good
enough for me
I didn’t care
I had friends
Who am I?
I am officially graduated
from middle school
I can see the direction that
I am heading to
It does not look so good
Why is my mom crying?
Why are you kicking my
sister out?
There is too much noise
Mom please stop crying
It hurts me too
I don’t like to see you
suffer
Your sister is dead
Your brother is dead
The rest are drunks
But you care mom
You still care for them
You believe
You risked it all for us
I am here because of you
You gave up your life in
order for me to have one
I owe my life to you mom
Dad I love you too
I promise ill do whatever it
takes
I just don’t want to see you
cry no more
I don’t like crying myself
to sleep
Who am I?
I am entering high school
I was so close to a 4.0 my
first year
I’ve never had one of those
I thought those were
impossible
If I try, I can do this.
If I put my mind to it
anything is possible
The kids at school are no
different from me
They are not smarter than me
Son don’t forget to give
back
Mom don’t worry
I will give back
To the unfortunate
To the voiceless
To the community
I won’t be able to repay you
ever
All I can do is make you
proud
If you want me to give back
I will give back until I can
no longer breathe
Who am I?
I am a high school graduate
Over 1000 hours given back
to my community
Graduated with honors
Half a million dollars in
scholarship money
Any college I want to go to
paid
But I choose Portland
My mom is close to Portland
I want to be close to my mom
Congratulations son
I am proud of you
Mom don’t cry please
I am not finished yet
My life has just started
There are people that need
help
If I don’t help who will
Who am I?
I am college student
Pursing a major in criminal
justice and criminology
Since I’ve been in college
I’ve gladly given up another
800 hours
To my club
My community
And my country
I want to help those in need
I want to help people see
the best in themselves
I want to give back
Who am I?
I am curious at the
detention center
Walking to B2
The door opens
We begin with our assignment
How much do you get paid?
You wouldn’t be here if you
didn’t get paid
Nothing
Zero
Nada
Then why are you here?
Because I believe in you
Nobody is going to listen to
you around here?
You don’t have to listen
But I know
One day, somewhere
Someone will here my voice
If I can get one person to
listen
If I can motivate them
If I can help them see the
potential that lies within them
If by the end of the day
something inside their head clicks
Than I have done my job
I wish I had more time
I also wish I had more hands
But I guess these two will
have to do
Who am i?
I am thirsty
I am hungry
I am ready to over come any
barrier
So that I can become a
better helper
Capstone is done
Detention visits are over
But believe me I won’t
forget
The unfortunate
The voiceless
And the community
I won’t forget the youth
They are the future of this
country
I won’t forget you
I will be back
And I will help
I just need my degree
My masters and my PhD
Who am i?
Isaac Camacho Castillo
You are my son
I am proud of you
Thank you so much
No mom
Thank you
Thank you for giving up your
life so I can have a better one
Thank you for making me who
I am today
I will give up my life in
order for others to have a better one
