Chapter 5:
Sandra's presentation left me stunned. Honestly, it was something I had never felt til I told my mother. She actually understood. She felt the feeling of people that didn't understand her, but didn't want want to go any farther. I have seen the pan of latin-americans trying to break the barriers, as I dated a mexican-american for 3 years. I went through the parental backlash and dealings of bringing her "into" my life. It was difficult at first. I had to fight to get her into "americanized" socializations. It was the inevitable-breakup of our relationship. This chapter brought up a lot of relationship problems we had... I still deal with it now-a-days. My mom says it is the best, as I feel still confused... Is it? or is my mom's pride right? I am 22.. do I know what is best for me? Or I am still shooting fish-in-the-barrel?
