    To experience a local aspect of Hispanic culture I visited the Tienda Mexicana La Guadalupana, a grocery store in Chapel Hill. Once inside, the term that came to mind when looking around was bodega. The store was small, but made clear use of its space, with items on the walls, shelves, and even the ceiling. This is in contrast to most “American”, or english speaking, grocery stores I have been to, as they are often wide and spacious, with plenty or room to showcase products. They commonly have bright lights; light, colorful walls; ads and signs everywhere with directions and promotional deals; and music playing over loudspeakers.…

    I think that Miguel Caldera was strong and who had the courage to make and do hard risks. Miguel Caldera led soldiering against Chichimecas and later he became a provisioner and a protector and by doing this, he had to stay alive and earn respect from his enemies.

    Everyone in my family from my parents to my cousins tell me to never give up when doing something in life, however it became clear when I came face to face with the legislative process of California in April 2014.
