Can you imagine having the struggles of Panchito?
-I don't believe that i'd be able to survive with his struggles. Because i'm so used to the life that I live now. All the items that help out with our life.
Why do you believe Peggy was trying to avoid Panchito?
-I believe that Peggy wanted to be more than friends with Panchito. She wanted to go out with Panchito, but he was very shy and he didn't really know what was happening plus he started to feel awkward , so when he had the chance he ran away from her house without being rude. She thought that he didn't like her or that he wanted to be friends. Like many people, she didn't like that, so she tried to avoid him because she felt offended and now she disliked Panchito. -Brandon Gonzalez
Do you think religion/spirituality helps or hurts people in poverty?
-I think that it won't hurt people in poverty. Because it gives them hope. Hope that one day every thing will be better for them, no poverty. It makes people see the bright side of things. Make them think positive when things don't always go there way.
Roberto and Panchito work 7 days a week, go to school, and study on Saturday nights. Do you think today's generation of teenagers have the same work/family ethic and values?
-Well I think that the average teenager would not like to work 7 days a week and study on the weekend. They would rather hang out with there friends or rest. I don't think they would have the same work because they would try to get the (less work) job. Or don't have a job at all. So I think that nowadays the average teenager is taking the easy road.
Would you help out and try to find a job for papa or just give up?
-I would at least try to find a job for papa without any physical labor. I wouldn't give up though because your family will always be there for you when you are not in good shape. so I think that I would help out. Or if we can' t find a job at least I tried.
Put yourself in the shoes of a farmworker youth. Imagine working 14 hrs in harsh conditions. What would be the hardest about this life for you?
