Personal Narrative: My Roots Of Chihua

As a first generation student coming from a family originating from Chihuahua, Mexico, the pressure has always been at an all time high to succeed. Rather than grow and depart from my roots of Chihuahua, I've decided to embrace and further educate myself on those roots. My family and ancestry comes from a small city named Santa Barbara in the state of Chihuahua. As a child growing up in California I wasn't very in touch with those small town roots. As a child, having visited my grandfather during my summer vacations I became socially aware of a group of people self titled the Rarámuri’s.
