As I am walking alongside the tall, thick, tan wall, I wonder how much history is stored inside. Two steps past the second entrance door and I am standing in the historical landmark, Mission San Juan Capistrano. Before me is the long courtyard rooms that create the perimeter of the mission, a small garden in the entrance with multiple trails, a beautiful, tall, octagonal fountain filled with green lily pads and white blossomed flowers, and to the left, standing high is what looks like a destroyed temple. Various little trails that all lead to different sections.…
Well, despite the victory today, if Santa Anna escapes, he has the remainder of the Mexican Army, some 5000 men, nearby that could march quickly to San Jacinto and probably cause Sam Houston and his 1000-1500 men to resume his retreat across Texas. Otherwise, if we capture Santa Anna, who was not only the General of the Mexican Army but also the Dictator of Mexico, we can end the war here.…

For over two centuries, the Serrano family had originated from and had continually resided in a small, overpopulated town named La Reina, in El Salvador. In this town, houses, though structurally unstable in the 1800s, were closely grouped together and therefore called barrios. To the east of La Reina there was mountainous terrain, or terreno, on which harvesters would grow crops under the scorching and unforgiving sun. In addition, due to the disastrous conditions of the roads, cars were uncommon in the town, while horses served as the main source of transportation. Though the community itself suffered economically due to the limited amount of jobs besides farming, the families were closely banded together and it was common for one family…

In the past few years, I’ve volunteered with a variety of organizations from National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, and Key Club. I have also co-founded a Community Outreach Club at high school. Through the Church I’ve assisted with Vacation Bible School and middle school retreats. One of my favorite memories came from volunteering for the first time with National Spanish Honor Society. Choosing to participate in this program was not a difficult decision, since I knew I wanted to continue practicing my Spanish and volunteer in the community at the same time.…
A tradition in my family on thanksgiving, new years and Christmas eve would be my dad cooking pork for the family to eat. The recipe was taught to him by my paternal grandfather. Being Hispanic is a topic that comes up everyday of my life. For example, in scholarship applications, college applications, AP exam days. The questions is always there, “Are you Hispanic/Latino?”…
From waking up to the smell of freshly made tortillas and warm beans with rice on Sunday mornings and rushing through the morning to attend noon mass to the tradition of going from house to house singing lullabies to Jesus on Christmas eve, food and catholic tradition are just a small part of what being Hispanic means to me. While there are a multitude of distinct experiences that have guided me to rediscover what Hispanic truly means, I believe that everything can be simplified to family values. Aside from the extraordinary and delicious food, I believe that Hispanic means family; as my good friend, Stitch likes to say, "Family means no one is left behind or forgotten" (Lilo and Stitch). Last year, I left home to attend a university that is a few hours away from my parents' house. At first it was exciting with a newfound sense of liberty; a part of me really enjoyed going to eat at random times of the day or…

The group I chose to research was the Hispanic culture. I do not know much about the Hispanic culture nor have had much experience working with this culture. Sometimes it can be hard to work with or surround yourself with people when your cultures are not the same, therefore getting to better know the values and customs of a Hispanic will help me to make sure my clients get the most from me Knowing more about the people that I am dealing with is the best way to ensure a good client to counselor relationship. The Hispanic culture is one of the fastest growing cultural groups in the United States. The U.S. Census data indicates that Hispanics will be the largest minority group by the year 2050 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1992).…

Many things can represent the city of Miami to people. To me however, from daytime to nighttime, South Beach best illustrates what makes Miami different from almost every other city: diversity. Everything, from the sounds, feelings and tastes, to the smells and sights, makes one feel as though you are standing at the crossroads to the rest of the world. As you approach South Beach, crossing over the ocean on I-395, you can already hear multiple styles of music playing in the distance.…
