Often it is hard to define ourselves by one thing. Our personalities are shaped from so many different aspects and each one makes us an individual. These different aspects are often contradictory and that is what creates conflict within us. In fact, within myself I see each of Ben Franklin’s classifications: a person that is immovable, a person that can be moved, and a person that moves...
When many think of the movie The Vow they think of the sappy love story that the movie depicts or how attractive Channing Tatum is, but to me it brings up so much more.

{Ben Franklin once said, “All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move. Which are you?}

My Latino upbringing has instilled in me a strong sense of family and community. Even though my entire extended family resides in Miami, we stay in contact and offer each other advice and support. As the first in my family to apply to a four-year college, I am constantly peppered with questions from my aunts: what classes should my cousins take?..
