A negative narrative I was told is that just because I am a young Hispanic high school student living in America means I must have struggled in my early ages of life to be where I'm at today right? Wrong. My life was not based on me being an immigrant or my mother didn't run around chasing the boy who “hit it and quit it” for child support money and just because the crime, teen pregnancy, or the number of high school dropout rates go up does not mean I have something to do with it. I refuse to be any of these stereotypes.
