undocumented Mexican since it is called undocumented and the color of his skin is brown caught in spiky barbwires. He seems to be bleeding and suffering at the same time trying to cross the border. It makes me remember and feel past struggles of how I used to get bullied back in middle school. These were my dark and gloomy times. It was a time where I had very low self-esteem and issues of accepting who I am. I like how the artist showed a numerous amount of splatter of blood by the Mexican neck…

My father’s side of the family originates from Greece, Norway and Germany. My mother’s side originates from Germany and Norway.

Based on the activity, I scored a 19 which indicates that I am confident in my ability to care for a dying resident. In my 19 years on this earth so far, I have experienced some loss but not as difficult as others might have.
