Pathway 2: Latino Heritage Community Project
Through completing this MLO in the various classes listed above I was able to demonstrate that I have immersed myself in an authentic Hispanic cultural and linguistic environment, having to internalize the language and cultural experiences. Within this MLO I was able to immerse myself within the Hispanic community in order to conduct a community project to show that I have developed an understanding of the community. Within this MLO I wish to continue immersing myself within the Hispanic communities in order to get a better grasp of their experiences. The areas that I found the most challenging was conducting my interviews and trying to integrate them within the paper I was writing in regards to the Chicanx identity. I was able to overcome the challenge by integrating them using direct quotes from the recordings that I did. Overall this MLO has helped me grow my personal intellect through being able to conduct an analysis on the Chicanx identity and seeing how it is a political statement to identify as such.
