Monogram Vernis she's really proud

After a few weeks in the park, I got arrested for the first time.
We were demonstrating peacefully against "Stop and Frisk"-which means police can stop anyone they think is suspicious.
About 30 of us were taken in to the station for disorderly conduct after the police had asked us to leave and we wouldn't.
We were put in cells where we passed the time by singing songs like "Lean on Me, " "Stand by Me, " and "(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay.
" The second time I was arrested while protesting, I was locked in a filthy cell louis vuitton replica bags crap overflowing from the toilet and cockroaches swarming on the floor and ceiling.
I was totally disgusted.
I stood on a bench for almost nine hours because I didn't want to touch anything in the cell.
But later that night, I was released and back in Zuccotti.
Over the next month, I stuck to my routine.
While helping the group plan sit-ins or marches, I picked up trash and washed dishes in the kitchen tent, where we were served three meals a day (eggs or cereal for breakfast; soup, pasta, and salad for lunch and dinner).
Sometimes we'd use the louis vuitton antheia ixia at local businesses-the staff at McDonald's was really sweet.
As news got out about our efforts, the happier I was to be there.
People were waking up to our point of view that everyone deserves access to basic needs like food, shelter, clothing, and education.
And there's power in numbers-if we band together, we can start fixing these problems one at a time.
After the November raid, we were no longer able to stay overnight in Zuccotti, so I headed back to California to visit my mom, who has been an activist since the '60s and '70s.
She tells me Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis she's really proud of me and calls me her warrior, though I know she worries about my safety.
I'm still super-passionate about a performing-arts career, but I'm okay with taking a break from it while I focus on activism.
It feels amazing to stand up for what I believe in-I used to be hurt and confused about what my family went through, but now I know that I'm helping bring about real change.
My hope is that everyone will join the fight.
Having ideals is a great start, but you have to actually act on them to make a difference.
