When I think about my own relationship with capitalism in the United States is a bit complicated, I do work as a student. I struggle at times due to the stress of working and being a full time student that at times I sometimes miss homework. I work hard but I haven’t been given opportunities so I had to fight for everything I’ve ever wanted. I want to get my degree so I can be in the business of sonographers and being a 21 year old Hispanic from the Bronx doesn’t really help much. I also feel that if you want to succeed in life at this point like a promotion for example you have to change who you are and suck up to people. In the marketplace I don’t feel as if I have been successful but I also feel as if I have been successful because I am only half way from where I want to be right now in life and achieving what I want. I am in college getting my degree. I work part time at Target so I’m better off than sum people because I’m in college trying to get where I want to be so that’s why I feel I’m in the middle because I’m not succeeding but I’m also not failing i would say. My goal for my career is to finish school which i will be in the summer then i will take a paid course after school allied in health education. I then will get licensed if the state mandates it because I will be moving out of the Bronx so depending where I decide to go I will have to do this. I then will be Taking an ultrasound technician certification exam through a professional organization. I am very confident that I will reach my goals. A feminist economy where nobody is exploited would look like a women and men in equal power getting rid of the gender structure. There would be many women in power owning the largest organizations in the world. There would also be better and equal pay for everyone depending on their work and also free healthcare as well. As well with this new healthcare that would be free for everyone would include free healthcare products like tampons, plan b, sanitary pads, menstrual cups, heated pads and etc for all women. Everyone in this economy will live as they please with control over their own life.

This is great Josue! First, you seem to have a handle on your goals and your career. Second, I love your vision for a feminist economy and that you focused on health care. Why on earth is our health care part of capitalism?? Why should people make money from others being sick? Especially insurance companies!!!
