Oprression and liberation

I think that I do see some Oppression at my internship but I think that is in between students. I think that the stuff that I see is that students hang out with there same race but then fight againts there same race to because of some gang issues. But I think that overall Upa liberates the students, like theres many after school programs that help them to learn about there race. I also think that for the fact that UPA is a small middle school the teachers have time for all the studenst and then there not oppressed by them. I also think that teachers dont oppress them either or the staff. Yet some how in my opinion I do think that theres isntitutional oppression towards the school. I think this because UPA is in a neighborhood were the taxes dont help the school as much its hard for them to get money and to have better materials and oportunities. I also think that the discrict is oppressing them because UPA is a small school and right now theres not enough money to have all this school and they want to close small school. Also some kids might be oppressed because of the neighborhood that there in and they might internalize all those things and bring them to school. But this are the only things that come in mind to me.

Advice

I think that i have been asking my mentor advice probably not this week but I have last past weeks. I ask my personal questions, i think me asking my mentor questions have really helped me. It helped me to get to now her more and that teachers actually have and had a lot of things going on in there high school years that are similar to my problems now. I think this also helps her me understand and the way that my problems might affect me in my internship. This week I really didn't ask my mentor any advice for the fact that yea it has been the most rough week in my whole life. She has helped me a lot with the issues and has really support me a lot. She just tells me to just take care of my problems and that I could take a break when ever the past two week but I know that this counts for the mayor grade and I have to get distracted at least by doing something that I enjoy. The kids at my internship also have support me a lot and they have given me so much strengths. I think that this is kind of advice to because they wrote me some letters and in there they just told me to not give up and for me that was advice and I am going to take it because those kids want me to be happy the way that im always. This is just some form of advice from my mentor and the kids.
