Cholo

I quickly learned that if you start runnin’, you’ll be runnin’ the rest of your life.  Better to stand and fight– even if you get beat, you can still look yourself in the mirror, and maybe even gain a little respect.  Soon enough I’d hear them say in the halls that I was ok– I put up a good fight.  Damn if it wasn’t the roughest school year of my life– but I wouldn’t trade those days, even if I could.  The cholo brothers taught me to stand up and not take any crap off of no one.  I don’t by any means advocate breakin’ the law, but I do advocate findin’ your voice and letting the world feel the weight of who you are.-Robert Yager
