    With my heart beating out of my chest, the only thing I could think of was that I did not want to die in Mexico. It was a warm sunny day as we started our ATV adventure outside of the comforts and security of the resort walls. There were 6 of us and we planned to take turns driving. When it was our turn, we could go anywhere we could get the machine. The rental guy was nice enough to loan us his personal iPod, as the machine had a stereo. The iPod was filled with Mexican music of all sorts. How fitting, we realized. What would a Mexican adventure be without the music?…

    My heritage, my culture, where I’m from is something I shall never be ashamed of. Lucky to say, I have hard-working Mexican parents who are my motivators for everything, they are the reason I hope to one day be a first-generation college graduate. When my parents had my oldest brother at 17, despite their young age, my parents were thinking of my brother’s future. Mexico has high crime rates, drug trafficking, unemployment, poverty, and climate hazards. Families come to the United States to achieve the American Dream, the chance to give their children the life they wouldn't have been able to have in their native country. Something that I would say I’m passionate about is the love I have for my culture and my roots. Being Mexican American has molded me into the person I am today with strong beliefs and values. Over the past few months, I have heard distasteful comments towards the Latino community. Growing up my parents taught me to speak for what I believe in. I am not a bystander, I will speak and defend those who being belittled for not being U.S. born. Throughout my four years…

    Imagine being stripped away from everything you knew: your childhood friends; cousins you thought you'd always have with you, and places you called your second, third, or even fourth home. That is exactly what I went through when my family decided to move to Albuquerque, New Mexico. What's different about my experience was that it wasn't necessarily the move that flipped my world upside down but everything that happened in between. I was an awkward, shy, midget-like twelve-year-old when my family and I lost our home during the California money crisis. From that point on it was like a tumbling circus act. My parents ended up losing their jobs until finally my dad moved to New Mexico; leaving me and my family for almost a year. The last thing…
