Coates describes all the rules and from my perspective as a list of requirements or a type of checklist, The Rules in my culture are predominantly Mexican.

so i think i believe its a regular man and woman stereo types but I was born and raised in mexico I feel I live in an Californian culture in a time were I can remember being expected to do something that was with a group of people who I had nothing in common with but because of who my mom and dad were back in the day i was expected to be like them

So other kids and people in my own family and neighborhood expected me to be a certain way which i didn't want because i anted to be different but i didn't really care who my parents were in the past I felt constantly pressured and even shunned by my peers for failing to meet the expectations because of who my parents were.

But It only made me more determined that I would make my own path and become my own person I had never wished for an easier life only to be stronger person and these words are what reminded me to keep on moving and struggling and that no matter who was around me it would not matter I can move on my own feet because i’am strong and confident everywhere i go.
