I have realized being a non-fluent Latina I have missed out in learning about my heritage, been judged by my appearance, and have taken steps to carry my culture to the next generation. My parents did not teach us to speak Spanish which is one of my biggest regrets in life. This language is a part of my history that I will not be able to teach the next generation. However, as an adult I have made it a choice…

I live in Texas and I can honestly say that there is a language barrier between non English speaking people and English speaking Americans in Texas in the Hispanic community particularly. From the various articles and surveys that I have found there seems to be a great number of Texans wanting English to be declared the official language.

My current interests include participating in art, specifically sketching and water-color painting.

One of my more enriching experiences occurred during my freshman year of high school. For years, I strove for straight A's, and for years I received them. Over time I constructed a mentality, and underlying self-confidence that I would receive an A no matter what. Due to my over-confidence, I was under the impression that I would not have to put forth much effort; however, near the conclusion of the second semester, I had a B in Pre-AP English 9.

It felt as if a five pound ball of lead materialized in the pit of my stomach. This experience, at first, devastated me to the fullest extent, and I…
