Fresh Meat, Geraldine Ramirez

I work hard every day just to be a considered a piece of meat. Little by little, I have begun to like Leadership Public Schools -- College Park. My days in this school have been hard, because all of the faces are new and worse yet I am new -- I am fresh meat..

I miss my middle school, everything I needed they gave me and I was at the top of the food chain, not fresh meat. Now I have to work harder and go above and beyond the call of excellent in order to get the things I want and need for my education..

Every day I remember my mom’s words, “this is a way for you to practice fighting for what you want and defending yourself in this world for when I am gone.”

For all the fresh meat, aka freshmen, out there never give up, always fight for what you want and most importantly keep your head high. Do this so we could stay FRESH for ever. This year it’s going to be hard for many of you, because you are giving up without a fight -- the fight to better your future. I call all freshman to fight with me for a better education and equal treatment at school. We may be fresh meat, but at least we learn and socialize with integrity and honor, because the light is so bright at the end of the tunnel -- even if we're in the refrigerator.
