I enjoy the fact that I am Ecuadorian because there is an undeniable appreciation that I have for my heritage. I am grateful that I am surrounded by a community that is not afraid to express their Latinx culture no matter the situation. Most people I have encountered are embarrassed when they tell someone they are Latinx, with fear of being pitied or judged. We cannot change how societies view us, but we can change what we feel about ourselves. It is important to understand that there is nothing you can do to change who you are and where you come from. Once you begin to accept who you are, wonderful doors of admiration for your culture open up. Daisy Palaguachi (BHSEC Queens)
