1. I think one moment that struck me especially when it comes to literature and language was the first time I ever read a Book called “The Hate U Give”. Most of the books I read previously were 

your basic full page books that were so boring and unentertaining, with plots that weren’t relevant to times like today. When I read “The Hate U Give”, I realized how much people can make a very important storyline about a problem that is currently relevant, extremely interesting to read. It talked about the problem with black injustice and discrimination that was shown when it came to law enforcement, in specific the police. I was so interested in the movement after reading this book because the words used, hit someone in the soul. It made the reader capture the moment and the heartbreak of seeing a black kid being shot for no reason, as if they were right there. 

2. I would say that a moment that was extremely awkward when it comes to family especially was the first time I went to Mexico as a kid, I was about 10-11 years old and I knew absolutely no spanish. One thing everybody knows in Mexico is, well speaking spanish, so when I went there for the first time I wasn’t ready or prepared at all. I was out of my comfort zone and well I couldn’t understand anything my family would try to tell me. I’m very glad I went with my older sister, she was pretty much the only reason I had any conversation I had with family because she would translate what I said to them, and translate what they said to me. Ever since that event I started to learn more spanish and recently in 2022 we returned to Mexico, and my spanish has gotten tremendously better to the point where I can have full conversations with my family members without my sister telling me what they’re saying. Moments like those make me happy to think that language and culture is extremely important for everybody to learn. 

3. A moment where I can say I felt triumph and accomplishment was actually recently when I graduated High school. As a little kid in Elementary school I knew I would graduate when I was older but the thought of it always scared me since I was an introvert. As a Elementary Student and Middle School Student I was always scared to meet new people and just make friends, so the thought of graduating in the Future seemed dreadful because I thought I would be walking up to the stage and absolutely no one would know me or cheer for me while going up there. Then I got to High School for the first time in Freshman Year, it was during the COVID era and lots of kids were online but some in person. That’s where I met one of my best friends now, Alen, he was the reason I started to talk to newer people in the Future and ended up getting my group of Best friends that I share many many moments with. I knew from High School forward, I would become an extrovert and be able to communicate with more people outside of my comfort zone. My passion for meeting new people and just bonding grew immensely and I ended up Graduating, with the best friends anyone could have in their life.
