I am from izote
From volcanoes and palm trees
And the pacific ocean
I am from plants
Green, alive.
Tall
From valuable
From Ana
And Nelson
From lavender
And sugar cane
I am from the comal
Grilling, cooking
Salt,
Monstera,
And prayer as a family.
Hello! My name is Camila. I am a fourth year Microbiology and Immunology student in the faculty of sciences. I was born in El Salvador but moved to Vancouver with my family in 2011.
During my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, working out and spending time with friends. I love my specialization, and I am excited to start this new school year. I am really excited to be in this class with my sister and one of my closest friends! As far as the class material goes, I am excited to learn more about latin american history for a change. I remember not enjoying social studies in high school because I felt I could not relate to the material as it was mainly Canadian history. I am hopeful this course will teach me more about my culture, allowing me to appreciate it more. I only wish we had gotten the chance to go to all the food trucks! I am very excited to be in this class and hopefully get to know everyone! Lastly, I thought I’d share a photo of one of the hikes I did this summer 🙂
Hi Camila!
I loved your poem, and I think it’s so interesting that you want to learn more about Latin America! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage, especially if your taking the class with your sister, which I think it’s awesome 🙂 It was so nice to meet a fellow Latin American!
Hello Camila,
My name is Emma! I enjoyed reading you poem! I totally agree with you on the whole social studies matter. Though we did touch on ancient China, I found it hard to relate to any of the material that we were learning in social studies as most of it was about the history of Canada. I am also super interested in Latin American cultures and I hope to learn more about them. Additionally, I 100% agree with you on the matter of the food trucks. Super bummed that we don’t get to visit any.
What a beautiful hike! Thanks for sharing that photo. And I’m with you and Emma… I also wished we could have visited those food trucks! Welcome to the course, Camila. Glad to have you in LAST303!
