Yaleen Cisneros by Monica Parra

I’m Yaleen, and I want everyone to remember me as the girl who gave anything to anyone. I am in the work program, and I work at Camp Hayden, and I do restock. I dyed my hair burgundy, and people don’t know that because you can’t really see it. I spend my weekend working to get that bread. My favorite teacher is Coach Aguilar because she is sweet like sugar and explains everything so well. If I could redo my life, I would love to redo it because I made dumb decisions.”
