MEChA senior finds her identity – Double major still can’t decide what to do after graduating in May – San Diego State
Tagged: aztec, family, latina, MECha, RaidsPosted on: May 9th, 2007“There I was, an 18-year-old Latina from an immigrant family, attending freshman orientation for San Diego State during summer in 2003. My hair was done in two messy braids and the summer tan on my already brown skin was glowing.
Coming from a local, urban high school, I was used to seeing faces like my own and people who had similar experiences. So it came as quite a shock to see that many of my fellow freshmen were the opposite of me: white, wealthy and privileged.”
