Course Narratives
I have learned that we all have different opinions and beliefs, and we will never have the same opinions with others. Especially having different religions, ethnicities, and beliefs. Since each group has different ideas. Even though we all have different ideas, we should all treat each other with respect. And respect every point of view for each person. In Spanish 425, we learned about Mexican literature. I had the opportunity to read books from authors like Rosario Castellanos, Juan Rulfo, and many more. It was a great experience to take this class because we had to do a presentation about one Mexican author. I chose to do my presentation on Francisco Jimenez who is a Mexican-American writer. His books are so meaningful to me for the reason that somehow his book of Senderos Fronterizos identifies with my personal life because my parents also came to the United States for a better life for themselves and me and their future family. And the way I would work for this future to be successful is by working hard and achieving my goals.
