Logan has a new student teacher, 26-year-old Bellamy Liu.

Liu is currently studying at California State University East Bay (CSUEB) and joined a one-year program last summer to reach his goal: to become a high school physics teacher.

In order to earn his teaching credentials, Liu must do a variety of things. First he must gain teaching experience by working with students. He then needs to observe how another teacher runs a classroom. Finally he needs to passes two standardized tests, the CSET and CBEST. The CBEST is a general knowledge test, while the CSET is specific to the subject Liu wants to teach.

Liu has already completed some of the requirements. He has gained some teaching experience through after school tutoring, and is currently observing Julie Chuang's physics class everyday for three hours.

The New Haven Adult School, in collaboration with Centro de Servicos, has been selected to receive a $100,000 grant to promote citizenship education and immigrant integration.

The grant was announced by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which last week awarded a total of $7.8 million to 75 organizations from 27 states and the District of Columbia. USCIS seeks to expand citizenship preparation programs for lawful permanent residents, to ensure that those committed to the goal of U.S. citizenship receive the support they need to be successful.

Part Two of Two:

Five years had gone by since he joined the gang. Five long years and he is now tired of running the crazy life. He is tired of hating and the way he feels when white folks discriminate against his “Raza”. He knows that he won’t be happy for the rest of his life.

Chito is surprised when Chuco rejected a shot of Tequila.

“Listen man I’m going to East L.A. this weekend,” says Chuco.

“That’s OK with me hommie, but what are you going for?” Chito asks.

“I’m going because I have something to do.” Chuco takes out his Italian stiletto and hands it to Chito. “Here, keep it, Carnal. You might need it more than I do,” he said.
