Por: Luis ARVIN, CA. – Soy un joven de 17 años indocumentado que residen en Arvin, California. Les voy a contar lo que me impide cerrar los ojos y quedarme dor- mido en la noche. Algunas noches, antes de dormirme, pienso entre mi mismo sobre lo que será de mi vida en el futuro. Esto es lo que yo me imagino: Me graduare de la escuela secundaria, empezare a trabajar en los campos por un tiempo mientras ahorro bastante dinero para la escuela de soldadura y para las necesidades diarias como alimentos y gasolina. Durante este tiempo, pagaré renta y otras facturas a mis padres. Ya cuando este en la escuela de soldadura, me tomara tres meses para recibir mi certificado. ¿Qué fue lo que tomo mi interés en convertirme en un soldador? Algunos miembros de mi familia son soldadores, y ellos han comprado sus casas y carros nuevos en cinco o seis años. Lo que me gusta de ese trabajo es que puedo jugar con el metal y hacer mis propios proyectos en mi tiempo libre. Lo que no me va a gustar de ser soldador es que hay veces que tendré que viajar a otra ciudad a trabajar por más de una semana. Lo peor es dejar a la familia y tal vez perderse el cumpleaños de uno de tus hijos. Después de recibir mi certificado, voy a buscar un trabajo lo más pronto po- sible con uno de mis amigos. Voy a buscar un trabajo que pague más de lo que necesito para sobrevivir. Cuando tenga suficiente dinero, voy a ahorrar dinero de nuevo para comprar mi casa y un carro nuevo. Después, empiezo a pensar, ¿por qué no puedo ser lo que en verdad quiero ser?, como tal vez un ortodontista o trabajar en una oficina, en lugar de un tra- bajo agotador. ¿Por qué no algo que paga buen dinero, y me permite comprar lo que yo deseo en el momento? – una casa de dos pisos con una piscina y dos carros nuevos de la fabrica, como un Subaru Impreza WRX/STI del 2011 y un Shelby Mustan GT500. (Mi gran sueño es de ser un conductor de rallycross. Siempre he soñado en ser un corredor de carros). Pero, después pienso en la razón que todo esto es imposible para mi. Tal vez es por que no soy un residente legar de los Estados Unidos, pienso entre mi mismo. Soy Mexicano, y estoy orgulloso de esto. Pero me preocupa que soy muy tonto para la escuela, o que voy a reprobar en los primeros meses. Y así me imagino que mi carrera como soldador ya termino. Algunas veces pienso que yo no puedo hacer nada bueno por que no soy de los Estados Unidos. Pienso que para poder adquirir lo que yo quiero ser, tengo que ser de aquí y tener el apoyo para completar el colegio. Me toma aproximadamente una hora para poder dormirme mientras me preo- cupo por estas cosas. Se espera el apoyo de mil personas para recaudar fondos para el programa STEM BAKERSFIELD, CA. – El 30 de mayo marca el quinto anual carrera 'Fit for Business' de 5K/10K de la Fundación del Desarrollo Económico de Kern (KEDF). El evento recauda fondos cada año para el programa de tutoría STEM (Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería, y Matemáticas) para las Escuelas Secundarias Independence y East Bakersfield. El éxito económico del Condado de Kern está fuertemente correlacionado con la habilidad de las compañías locales de reclutar y mantener profesionales de alta calidad en la industria de STEM, y KEDF está preparando a los estudiantes de las escuelas secundarias para que se conviertan en esa fuerza laboral de alta calidad con los programas de tutoría STEM. El programa junta a más de 300 estudiantes de las escuelas secundarias con más de 100 profesionales locales de compañías de energía, utilidades y el cuidado de la salud (Kaiser, Aera Energy LLC., Chevron, San Joaquín Community Hospital y PG&E para mencionar a algunos). Los tutores trabajan con los estudiantes en sus habilidades, éticas laborales, auto estima, y los exponen a la cultura diaria de negocios de las car- reras STEM. KEDF espera a más de 1,000 participantes, patrocinadores, y voluntarios en la carrera. La registración es de $30 dólares y los participantes de 12 años o meno- res pagarán $15 dólares. Los precios aumentarán a $40 y $20 dólares respec- tivamente a partir del 15 de mayo. La registración se cerrara el 29 de mayo a las 5 p.m. Los participantes están invitados a correr o caminar individualmente, o reclutar a sus compañeros de trabajo, amigos y familia para crear un equipo para el Desafío Corporativo de Aera. Las compañías pequeñas y grandes con los equipos más grandes recibirán un premio especial durante los anuncios esa mañana.
