I will introduce myself.

I'm a Latina, mas bien, a Mexicana. Born in Los Angeles mis padres came from Mexico for a better life and all that other stuff. Realized that Los Angeles wouldn't work for all those dreams so when I was starting that 7th grade we were uprooted from California para ir a Colorado. Mis padres are from a small unknown nomad tribe of Mexico, or so yo pensaba, since we moved so much. Pero no that is not the case we just moved a lot. Ahora, I still didn't know who I was in California. You know I wasn't the only Mexican in Cali. so I really had no knowledge of who I was. Then, bam, I'm in Colorado going to some ESL school, aunque, I spoke English and in Cali. I never went to ESL classes, because I knew English, and it wasn't going to get any better no matter what classes I took. Now I was going to school with a lot of Asian kids, which was cool because they had delicious food. Pero through the Asian kids I realized who I was. I was super Mexican. Can you believe it that out of the whole ESL program in that middle school I was the only Hispanic? Well, it’s true. All the other Hispanic kids were third or fourth generation, so no hablaban nada de Espanish. But, then we moved to a gringo neighborhood where the few Hispanics were either third or fourth generation or so mainstreamed that they were just white. Pero es okay, because I was there to teach them a bit of la cultura. Y ahora I don’t even have to worry since my high school is like fifty percent Hispanics. HA!
