Identity has been my biggest challenge and my only consistency, on the surface I’m a 16 year old hispanic, multilingual student born and raised in Georgia. Despite my residency, I have traveled out of the country all my life to visit family. I’ve struggled discovering my future plans, always undecided but have yearned to find my voice by being vocal of my opinions. My love for being vocal on my opinions and researching into topics that interests me formed into joining MODEL UN and a debate/politics class exploring what my future has in store for me. This self-discovery opened up doors for opportunities to flow in my future and my college experience. I fell in love with literature years prior and would love to debate controversial topics which has me juggling between presuing journalism or law at UGA.
I also have a love for music, enrolled in intermediate choir class at Sprayberry High School and plan to continue choir after high school. It has made me develop a community and common interest in music as well as playing the ukulele and learning my 4th language: American Sign Language (ASL) and got my ASL 1 Certificate last month.
Many people I know personally have their story untold or twisted, especially minorities. I want to seek the truth and unveil it weather pretty or ugly and get other people’s voice heard because I know what its like to be silenced. I want to bring out that freedom, that right to be vocal and not feel powerless regardless of age, sex, gender, race, etc.
