Chapter 17: The Guilt of a Mexican Daughter in College

You've made it to my few pages of this book that has already discussed the ups, downs, and flip arounds of Berea College. I commend you for taking the time to read our stories; in complete honesty, I am terrified that I won't do itjustice. I am simply one voice out of the hundreds upon hundreds that have been in my place. I am some random first-generation Latina from the deep South who just happened to be right here, right now. It's an interesting coincidence that I can share my experiences through this book; it is my hope that I am able to help you understand my perspective and perhaps inspire or empower people.
