To me, true freedom lies in having the ability to express myself. Experiencing freedom evokes deep gratitude and a sense of responsibility within me, as I am aware that not everyone has the privilege to enjoy such freedoms. 

In the US we use the term “Freedom” to define American values and the creation of this country. We are known as the “land of the free”, every original document such as the constitution, bill of rights and declaration of independence was written to provide said freedoms. Freedom to me looks a little different. 

Living in D.C. has given me the opportunity to reflect on my parent’s American dream and how I am a product of their love and hope. I want to contribute more to this world in order to honor the freedom that they have given me.

Freedom can be defined differently by everyone. In a way, freedom is what makes you feel the most alive. Freedom is what you seek while living life, as a human being free makes you feel alive. Working countless hours isnt feeling alive, having to fight for your life isnt feeling alive. So go ahead, and find your freedom living and loving life.

I am honored to be given this opportunity and I know this organization will further enhance my professional development skills.  This organization embodies many of the goals and values I hold dear, and I am excited to contribute to an organization that strives for a better future for farmworkers and their communities.
