Youth Voices: Possible changes to my school

Posted by Brian Renderos at 4:45 pm on April 17, 2009

Posted by Brian Renderos at 5:12 pm on February 27, 2009

I interviewed my father about why he left his country, El Salvador. After I interviewed him, I found the reason why: “I wanted a better future for my sons and there was a civil war going on so it was dangerous to be there.” He also told me he came here to earn money.

I want to tell you about Pintamos Nuestro Mundo (We Paint Our World), which is the youth group of Centro Presente.

Youth Voices: Why I love music video games

Posted by Brian Renderos at 5:24 pm on November 7, 2008

I like to play video games that have to do with music or creating music. Like DDR (Dance Dance Revolution): you play with a mat that has 4 arrows, one pointing up, down, left and right. On the screen, you press the arrows with your feet by dancing along with the music that you’re hearing [...]
