To be Chican@, was not just a geographical symbol, but rather an identity based on political culture that impacted the everyday choices of these individuals.

As I have matured, I have noticed how much my life has been influenced by society’s opportunities and issues. The American…

These tires were supposed to be in good condition and they did not do their job. My tire blew out on the freeway around 7:00 am and it cost me three-hundred dollars with the record service.
