When I was a younger, in elementary school everyone thought I was Native
American. When I hit middle school I would be called all kinds of things like border
hopper, spec, and wetback, they would always say go back to Mexico. Which I don’t
understand because I wasn't even born in Mexico I was born in Kansas City, Kansas
at providence hospital. Sometimes I couldn’t even people someone could say
something like that to another human being but there they were saying it to me.
All the kids thought it was funny but I didn’t see a funny thing about it. I
don’t believe it was necessary. I am not ashamed of where my family is from
though and I never with be, being Mexican is who I am and it's awesome!
