Why, did I choose the title of "Girl living in the Shadows!" Well because that is how I feel even though I don't show it because I am always focused on my education and I am always happy. However, there are times when I feel like an outcast, like if I did not belong, or if people were talking behind mine back. I have always felt like this however, it was a lot stronger in 7th grade of junior high because that was when I found out that what I had thought all along was false because I thought that I was just like everyone else maybe with a different skin color but the same, however, then I found out that I was undocumented, and that there were many things that my friends were doing that I was never going to be able to do like travel to exotic places, or get full-ride scholarships to colleges or even attend a college/university. Ever since that day I have had the feeling everyday and especially stronger when I come to circumstances where I have to make major decisions that will affect my life forever. I feel that the decisions I have made so far have had a great impact on my life. I have grown up in a white-orientated city where I never hung out with other Latinos, because they had their own cliques, and even when I got into high school and into college I could see that everyone was part of cliques where they didn't want to have other people interrupt their harmony.
Well now you know how I feel and the reason for why I chose the title I did. Now you know a little bit more about me and my life.
