Hi Esmeralda,
I am Maggie, currently studying at San Jose state university. First of all you did an amazing job on your shadow box. I think your description of your box was detailed and you explained everything very well. I totally agree with you that we should all outlive the stereotypes that’s surrounding us and just be ourselves. I love that you are proud of your own ethnicity because simply I am very proud of my own ethnicity and culture too.
