Student Life Activity

I met the President of Latinos Unidos and she invited me, my boyfriend, and bestfriend to a meeting. We all have not missed at meeting and I am proud to be part of this club. At my highschool there were not any clubs like this or any that really celebrated cultural. I managed to keep my roots alive through my family and be aware of where I came from mostly through them since a great majortiy of my peers were caucasian. Latinos Unidos hosted a Dia de los Muertos Mass and it was very beautiful and touching. The mass was conducted in spanish and I could not remember the last time I went to a spanish speaking mass. The father gave a beautiful homily that was lighthearted and I spent a lot of time reflecting on. It was touching for me to experience this because as I was starting college the two things I did not want to loose sense of that I was scared to loose were my culture and my religion. This mass really reinforced me not to forget where I come from and gave me a great sense of unity.
