The World is full of Coexisting Groups

Schools are full of diverse people. Many ethnic groups all intertwined with one another in

an institution of knowledge. This diversity intensifies in size when the student reaches the

secondary institution level. At this stage, the student is accompanied with colleagues not only

from different ethnic origins, but also different social locations- those being: age, race, religion,

employment, gender, and so on. Although there is a stark change in environment when a student

decides to expand his or her education, the individual must realize that this new chapter in his or

her life has already been experienced. Take this for example: A baby is born in a state in

America. The child growing up must have been born into a specified set of beliefs inherited by

the childs family. The childs age must have placed him into a category that implied K-12 public

education learning. The child being nothing more than a child set him in another category apart

from the working class. Throughout his life, the child could have encountered many other

subgroups or counter-groups and for that reason, life at home may not be as different as life for

the child in college. At the university level, students from the neighboring cities, different states,

countries from other parts of the world come together and attend the same institution. Every

group, every subculture, every kind of people all come together and coexist peacefully.

Juan Martinez Moreno is a student at the California State University of Northridge. As

Martinez looks onto the field, he notices that the water stuck in the clouds appear to be

thickening by the minute. Martinez walks by the black gated fence; The gate appearing as

somber as the clouds, dark and gloomy, had the gate been isolated from the soccer field,

Martinez could easily confuse it for a prison confinement. This was where the contrast started,

the soccer field appearing to be menacing and confining yet, it is Martinezs favorite place to go

to. Martinez notices the sign displaying the time permitted for all members who may enter the

soccer field. He looks down on his watch to ensure that he has enough time to observe and play

soccer.

Martinez walks into the field and notices a little house shy off the field, lying in wait for

athletes to come and get equipment from. A male and female wearing identical red polo shirts

and back pants walk towards the isolated house-shack. Martinez looks into the shack-like-house

and sees all kinds of field equipment. An array of soccer balls, cones, hoops, footballs, and a

selection of frisbees all inhabit the shack, neatly stored and assorted, ready for the dispense of

any athlete that wants the desired material. Martinez ponders on the idea that frisbees would be

stacked in the shack alongside all the other materials. The debate of whether frisbees belong in

the shack or not leave Martinezs mind and the lingering scent of sweat hits his face as instant as

the attraction of bees to honey. Martinez describes that the scent of sweat to that of steak with

teriyaki sauce poured over the meat.

He keeps walking and notices the green grass beneath his feet and surrounding the black

colored fence. The soccer field is large and holds goals at the expanse of all the athletes desires.

Goals on each end of the field and two more goals down the center to make a medium playing

field. There are stadium lights on each side of the field, evenly distributing light throughout the
 Martinez 3

soccer field. Martinez imagines the lights as the same kind of lighting casting agents use to see

all the abilities of the actor. It is the same on the stage as it is here on the field, the bright light

shining on the performer, allowing the individual show the audience what he is capable of.
