Hello, classmates!!!
I am excited to have started this second 7 week class in Ethnic Representations in Film. This course concentrates on the experience and representation of Chicana/Chicano, Latino/Latina, and Hispanics in US film and I cannot wait to learn more about the Latinos in film!!!
I graduated with an Associate of Art in Social and Behavioral Science from Los Angeles Harbor Community College Fall of 2014 then I transferred to California State Dominguez Hills Spring 2016. I am graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Labor Studies in the Summer of 2016. I have applied to graduate school here at California State Dominguez Hills, and I am anxious to know the results.
I have two sons; one is eight, and his name is Erik, and the other is three, and his name is Michael. In our free time, we enjoy going to Disneyland and California Adventure, watching movies, and going out for dinner. It is sometimes hard to balance school work and my sons, but I have to do it for them to have a better future and opportunities.
I am looking forward to the class discussions and films. See you guys on Wednesday!!!

Hi Irene, your intro sounds similar to mine. I too graduated from LAHC in 2014. It’s great that you did it with two children. I just had my first child last year and it’s been even more difficult trying to get any school work done. I applaud you for doing it with two children. We too love to go to Disneyland. It’s the best! 🙂 Welcome to the class and good luck with everything.
It’s so good to be sharing a class with you again! I appreciate the insight that you bring to our classes as a young mother. You have a very different mindset than I and it’s refreshing.
What do you want to go to graduate school for?
I want to earn a Masters in Social Work. I want to help other teen moms or first generation Latinos finish high school and move on to higher education. Thank you, I like sharing class with you as well.
Good luck to you, too. It is very difficult to get school work done with children around. We have to do it; we have no other option than to become educated to be someone in life and set a good example for our children. At least that is what I tell myself every morning. Have an awesome summer.
