I relate to this quote a lot, not just of my experiences of speaking 2 languages, but also my mother who suffered the same of being interrupter in our family for years and still to this day. My grandparents are from Mexican origin and came to America in there late teens. Consequently, my mother had to serve as their interpreter from a young age which is difficult as a child. As a result, I learned the art of interpreting Spanish for Spanish-speaking individuals from my Mom. This involved paying close attention to details, infusing humor, incorporating laughter, using slang, especially for older generations of Latinos.

I completely agree with the following quote, I feel like this relates to the education system a lot for 60+ years when POC started to receive education from schools. I believe there have been positive changes resulting in them attending school. But I also believe that the education system in the US negatively continues to fail them since POC are the minorities in America and before were the poorest people on the planet. And still to his day the education system fails to help under privileged students succeed in these social institutions like in schools. Especially because I feel like the education system has not been changed for years and is outdated and only very recently there has been few changes to change it. But I think we need to reform the policies to help under privileged students attending schools in America by first acknowledging insutions failed POC. And secondly, reform the information. And lastly, create more welcome in groups at schools to help them succeed socially and many other things as well to help students in the future.

When I saw this quote I related to it a lot personally. Since I grew up being low-income in a poor community in the middle of nowhere in California, where I imagined myself from a young age to my future life of sticking to this one environment for the rest of my life where there are no opportunities academically or fun things to do in general. And when I was young I wanted those things because I knew it would be my only escape from that place. So instead I transferred to a high school in Temecula where they had those things for me and where I finally had hope for future me to dream of further education and hobbies to join. However, even though I went to a good high school I couldn't attend my dream college I got into, since it was very expensive to attend. However, I still wanted to attend that college in the near future, so I went to community college for a second chance so that I could save money for that dream to go to that college. Even though my family thinks it outlandish of a goal of mine to still want to go to that college, but I want to show them and myself that I could do it as long as I carry hope for future me.
