Being Latinx in America means being unwelcomed by my own place of birth. It means having to work harder for my success and having to defend my parents from a country that constantly rejects them. It means dealing with the constant clash of assimilation and my roots. Being Latinx in America means survival, and the ability to embrace both of my cultures without allowing one to overpower the other. It means I love being Mexican, but I also love being American (even if America has not fully learned to love and accept me yet) . Nicole Mendez (BHSEC Queens)
