I wanted to write the Persuasive essay to the Social Studies department because I noticed that in the entirety of this year we have not learned about one Mexican American. we haven't learned about the Mexican War and we haven't learned about the Chicano Movement two things that greatly affected this country. The Chicano Movement was at one point a national movement and I really don't understand why it is not included in the curriculum. I do get that in a class that is supposed to cover the history of the United States you have to skip over some things because there are too many influential things that happened in the history of this country. But nevertheless the Mexican War and the Chicano Movements are two incredibly important events in my opinion and next year I will continue to advocate for the inclusion of these historic events. I did not get to write this essay this year, I have been busy with classes and my other pilot studies. Due to the amount of work in my traditional classes combined with the discouraging writing process I had I did not spend a lot of time working on this essay.
