Mi hermanos trabajan duro,

Mis papás and mis abuelos trabajaron duro,

Nada es imposible

Viene cosas bien grandes para ustedes

No se me rajen.

To my great maternal

Grandmother. Lizzybeth Glider. I see you. I recognize your lessons of resistance passed down through the generations from you. I am whole and lacking nothing because of your courage to survive.

To my ancestors, I visualized 10-50 years for the future. I kept hearing “You make me so proud” and “Keep going please”. I will take that into the present with me now because I know I can do it.

For the present, I am first generation. I came to Sac State to make my family proud but I had to make sure I came here to make myself proud. My dream goal is to make an impact somewhere in the world, big enough to inspire someone else to do the same if not bigger. This is the reason why I am pursuing higher education. I am doing it for the better of the world.
