Midterm Reflection by Alvin Yu

Ay wassup...for our midterm we have decided that we, one at a time, rise upon the class crowd to speak our opinions on the budget cut crisis. 1968, San Francisco State University student and faculty called for a third world liberation front strike and caled for a ethnic studies department occur on our very campus, as a part of our AAS skit, we made this skit to remember their effort and no one shall strip this from us. In the past 40 years, we are gradually being stripped of our Ethnic studies by Budget cut crisis and such, which urges us students for this strike. I, myself, am a Asian American full tie student at SF state, and stripping our ethnic studies is demoting diversity at SF state, it lags my graduation, and puts my dreams on hold. We have Ethnic Studies, but is this enough? This was very motivating as Irene gathered us and ended this with a chant that goes, "The students united will never be defeated!!" This activity not only influenced me to participate in these budget cut actions, but it introduced me to a whole new level of education. Irene brought our class to a united stage and i do not regret any minute of this activity.
