Is it my goal to be denied?


Marqui: My goal in life is to be able to live on my own. When i think about my self ten years from now i want to see my self with a steady job, a husband with a better job, and at least one kid. My goal is to own a home not rent one. Husband or not i want to be independent. I know i probably will have debt but i don't want to be in bankruptcy or broke. I want to be able to support my self and kid. My goal is to basically make it in life. Be the person my mother raised to be. In my book chucks goal is to report on people who have accomplished their goals. Seeing them accomplish their dream makes him want to create more goals and he accomplishes them.


Ahmad: Well one time i was looking for a job by my house and i seen a jewelry store by my house on the corner on Central and Belmont. The lady said i couldn't work there because i needed to be Polish. I was soo pissed! I needed a job and i had to be Polish to work at a store on the corner of a neighborhood with polish and Hispanics walking everywhere. In my book Chuck puts on a dog suite and walks around to see what people think and he was denied the right just to walk down the block with out getting criticized. He was harassed and denied entry to stores because of the costume he was wearing. As a white man he never knew what it meant to be denied all those things.
