“On my first day in middle school, my first subject was American history. My teacher was talking about a guy named “George Washington.” I turned to my seatmate and said, “Who’s George Washington?” My classmate looked at me funny, he pulled out a dollar and said, “This guy here, he’s the first president of the US.” That’s when it dawned on me, I’m in a whole new world.”

“My birth father fled the Civil War in El Salvador. In America he worked odd jobs where he met my birth mom. And here I am a mixed race adopted gal. I do not know him, but respect the battles and decision he made.”
