El soñador curioso
 
Writing a poem about my identity was a very interesting experience. Never having written a poem before, especially this one in Spanish, was challenging but rewarding. After writing this, I gained a new appreciation about this type of art. This poem touches on my journey coming to Holy Cross and trying to find a major. Not knowing what a major really was at the time or what I can do with potential majors, I was definitely confused as to what to do. In my background, it was common to praise professions and studies that made a lot of money, like doctors or lawyers, but it was never really open to anything else. Therefore, studying something that can come off as abstract caused confusion among people in my family. Being a first generation college student no one knew about the wealth of opportunities found in the world and how you can get there so sometimes I was questioned with how I can go about in attaining certain opportunities. This experience has also been rewarding due to the fact that I wrote it in Spanish. I think I connected more with my memory and made the entire process more authentic for myself since most of the conversations I have with my family about this is done in Spanish.

︎

Una vida de oportunidades infinitas
pero yo sin cuenta sabía de donde comenzar
entre un mundo que nadie en mi familia conocía.

Me decían, “sea un doctor o abogabo,
ponte a estudiar las cosas que te hagan rico”.

Aprendí sobre las cosas que yo podría ser
y quería ser algo que ellos no entendían,
estudiar números del mundo de cada día.

“¿Pero qué se puede hacer con la matemática?
¿Qué carrera vale la pena y tendrá éxito?”

“Con eso puedo hacer todo y más.
Con eso puedo cumplir mis metas y sus sueños
Y con eso, estaríamos mejor”.
