Being American and Mexican, simultaneously, is harder than it seems. I had been living in the U.S,for ten years and for the first time, I was going to visit San Luis Potosi, Mexico, which is where my family lives. My mother always said that Mexico is known for being a poor country, even so I still didn’t imagine it would be any different from the U.S. At this point, I was arriving, taxis everywhere, people shouting to find their arriving families, it smelled like Mexican food, it was a…

because sometimes well most of the time people is being discriminate because they can not say words or they just do not understand what are the other people saying.

Despite the years of speech therapy and the frustration that comes with the fact I still cannot order a #4 Combo at Taco Bell (I can't say '4,' seriously, I have to say "The Mexican Pizza Combo" every single time! Anyways, I digress)-I would not change my Apraxia. I would not want to get rid of it. I would hate to lose my accent. I would hate to have missed the journey I went on. I would have missed the late nights of homework between speech therapy and school. I would have missed out on…

I became quite fluent and confident about speaking…

However, this is not what ended up happening and grievances overall were not addressed…

Women during this time did not have as many opportunities as men did not only in education but also in equal work pay, politics and overall rights. Many men did not believe women had virtue, therefore, they denied them the right to be educated, vote and be separated from men. Sor Juana wanted to make a difference in the world for women, so she became self educated with the support of the Viceroy…
