Freedom is the ability to make your own decisions. Not having to ask for permission to do things you wish to do. Not being held back in saying what is on your mind. Having the ability to think, say and protest what is on your mind without restrictions. Growing up in a traditional Mexican family I was not allowed to do a lot of things that my friends were. I was not allowed to be out all hours of the night hanging out with my friends. I had a curfew and lived in a very strict home where I could not even choose what kind of clothes wore. My parents were very strict with me in having friends and attending social events. I was exposed to a life where I couldn’t tell my parents how trapped I felt. When I left home to attend CSU Chico in the fall of 2010 I began my life. I was able to make my own rules, wear what I wanted and do what I wanted with whomever I wanted. I have the ability to speak my mind. I define freedom with the ability to make your own decisions, good or bad, they are your decisions and no one has the ability to change what you do or influence you unless you enable them to.
