Hey everyone, my name is Michael Marmolejo. Currently I am a junior pursuing a major in Liberal Studies with a minor in Chicano/a Studies. I am the younger of the two in my family, my brother being nine years older than me. I am currently in the School of Education program and hoping to become an elementary teacher. I have taken three previous Chicano/a Studies class. Eventually, I would like to teach a college course about the history and impact of the Lowrider culture. What attracted me to Chicano/a Studies was that all the previous history classes that I took mostly looked at the European or dominant perspective. I always wanted to learn about my heritage and culture. I’m looking forward to this class.
