Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I like the fact that you can see the good and the bad of genetic engineering.
I am all for progress but I think every time we mess with the natural order of things, it hurts us.Thanks again,

Dear Naiara,
Thank you for sharing your beautifully written story. I learned so much about you and the things you value because of the honest and clear way you communicated your ideas.
One of the things that struck me about your story was this quote. “Even though I just have no more than a year and one month here my Spanish has been affected. I noticed I pronounce some words with that funny “latina-gringa” accent and when I talk, I forget some words.” It reminds me of when I lived in Cameroon, a francophone country in West Africa and was completely immersed in French. I would go for weeks without speaking English and at times, when I did speak English, it felt like I was a little rusty. I would love to hear more about this. What do you do to help preserve your Spanish.
I look forward to reading more of your writing on Youth Voices.
Sincerely,
Lona
