What's a DACA?


The Sauce  |  Ep. 1 "What's a DACA?"








Fun fact: These are actually my Aunt and Uncle, Fanny and
David Martinez. Fanny is a DREAMer who graduated summa
cum laude from Dominican and uChicago (she also went to
Fenton). David served in the US Army for 8 years.

The DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, has improved the overall quality of life for many young, law-abiding immigrants. The students who have been able to apply for the DACA have been granted the opportunity of great education and a bright future. Without it, we could be depriving ourselves of a generation that could help shape the world. This podcast will cover the importance of the DACA and give us some insight into what it's like to be  DREAMer.



















Mexico is super cool.
Whole milk is the best btw.

Hey! I'm Alfredo! Yeah, it's like the pasta sauce (hence the podcast name). If you were expecting to learn a lot about me here, you'll be kinda disappointed. But what I will tell you is that I come from a (very) proud Mexican household packed full of immigrants who were eligible for the DACA. It greatly improved our lives and I think that it's important to talk about. Oh, and another thing, I really like milk. Anyways, enjoy this very first episode of The Sauce.





















Here is Nancy on one of the
pyramids of Teotihuacan.



This is Nancy Martinez (the person I interviewed). She is currently a resident (as of 2014) of the United States. Before this, however, she was an undocumented, single mother of two. She was able to support her children for more than a decade without having any papers. She did not have the opportunity of the DACA early on while she was still in school, but the DACA still helped her acquire a driver's license which made working a lot easier. She now owns her own house where she is raising three children. Oh and, she's also my mom lol.





















Enjoy!

    You have a good start Alfredo. I like how you included a picture of you drinking milk:). You just need to make sure the link to your podcast is working and maybe include a picture about immigrants and the DACA

    I love your topic. Not only did you state the relevance of it to the world, but in your own life. I love the personality you can hear throughout your podcast, while also having your information still sound accurate and professional. Nice job!

    You know, I think it's pretty darn cool to have someone in your family like your aunt and uncle. I honestly think that's something to be proud of. I think this project was made for you. Who knows, maybe there will be a sequel to this episode?? :O

    I really enjoyed your topic and the podcast in general. It was entertaining and informational at the same time. The only issue I have is that you're wrong about whole milk

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

Image
School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary? Rather than having adults answer these questions, maybe it’s time that kids share their opinions because the only opinions we ever get are old stinky adult ones. Find out in this episode of Arekcast, with your host Arek Gadomski, as we gather information from teenage High-school students on our president and discuss controversial topics regarding him.
