La Aparte

Ruby Ortiz-Robles

Refran: "Separating from your family is like a piece of puzzle being missing and not complete."


Card Description: none


Student Biography: My plan after high school is I want to take a break from everything before I get into the big stuff like  college and living on my own the adult world. I am scared I don’t know where to start but everyone  starts differently. Don’t want to rush anything it will stress me out on everything. I want to go to trade  school so I can be an ultrasound technician. When I think about, I get excited about the stuff I will be  doing but I also heard that their some hard times and they say you will get through it. I am just scared  cause I don’t know what I would do without my parents. I just want to make my parents proud. They  gave me everything and I want to give them everything that they gave me. I love them with all my heart  even when we argue.  My lotteria card is about family separation. The people who don’t got papers they stay in Mexico away  from their family. Their alone sad with no family. So many things are happening to Mexican people  because of where they are from, and I feel like everyone needs to know that we are the same. We have  right to anything even if you’re not from here.
