At this particular moment in my life, and given the fact that I only spoke English, for the first time I felt discriminated against and victimized by American society. Even though I already had my educational psychology degree, once I moved to the United States, I was unable to provide services due to lack of communication skills and poor understanding of American culture. I felt discriminated against and part of the Latino minority group. I was considered Mexican and compared to illegal immigrants, criminals, and big breasts simply because I didn't speak the language and my physical features were Hispanic. We left Chile for a better life in America, but we resisted America's terrible stereotypes and discrimination against Latinos. I began to realize how other people had felt in my own country and how Latinos and other minority groups might have felt oppressed and discriminated against in that country. This is one of the reasons why I decided to get involved in different cultural activities that could allow me to better understand American society. I didn't want to forget or reject my own European and Hispanic heritage, but I knew I had to start adapting to this new way of living.
