Lexi Keller Intro to Chicanos 12 September 2022 Story of Self- Reflection I enjoyed this lesson because I find it hard for myself to write about my own story. I struggle with scholarships because in a way I feel like I have to exploit myself in order to receive funds, when really , I see know, is just explaining the story of myself. Sadly I have been through a lot of trying times (to say it easily) and after hearing the speakers and reflecting upon the speakers words, it makes me realize that if I open myself up and I share the trauma and the experience in the knowledge that I have gained from these situations I may be able to further help somebody else. Listening to the speakers broaden my eyes to the kind of trauma that effects children. While what both of the speakers had gone through was not violent or physically damaging, Both speakers were traumatized as children. Both have taken those experiences and are making the change they want to see in the world. That alone, is the key to a better world. My reflection on the events and the strengths of leaders like Caesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and even Martin Luther King have expanded on how their story of self, became a “story of us.” With the deeper connection of “US”
the movements WOULD not have had such and impact on the community, the nation, and the world. I think this was a great presentation. This is a topic that goes beyond Chicanos but something that will be influencing my own daily actions in how I treat myself, speak about myself, and how I share my experience of life with other.
