We are finally back home! It was a amazing trip, my first time in a plane. My fist time in Washington. It is a life changing experience. We went to so many places: Lincoln Memorial, The White House, The executive office, The Holocaust Museum, Capitol Hill, U.S. Department of Treasure, etc. My favorite so far was Lincoln Memorial.<br />
The HACU conference was awesome, it informed me about laws in regards of education, and the importance of let our representatives know the value of their support.<br />

Our last day in Washington DC consisted of multiple appointments with our states’ representative as well as senates. However before attending the meetings, we were introduced to a few presentations for a final preparation. One of the presentations given byArturo highleted the importance of an accurate Census report. Unfortunately, Hispanics and college students are often miscaluculated and there may be a few reasons for that. A possibility may be that they are reported on their census filled out back home and they also report themselves when they receive the census survey at their college residence. It is very significant for the census to be as accurate as possible so that we can base ourselves off of true data and realize what people need assistance and even find some correlations.<br />
As for the meetings with our representatives, I believe I can speak on behalf of the rest of my peers when I express the immense gratitude I have for this entire experience. As silly as it may sound, today’s events brought a sense of reality to me and realized that the senators and representatives are actual pictures not only figures to our states.They have the power to influence change and accommodations for the greater good and I am please to have taken a part of today’s participation. Their responses and approaches flourished with admirable public speaking skills and an intellectual manner of communication. They expressed their thoughts and support toward topics we felt need more awareness and change. Today will truly be a memorable one for me. We appreciate everybody’s time and effort that helped make this experience possible.Arianna Buchananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17621029261750725567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169034129361523132.post-34408124984834983872019-04-02T19:03:00.006-07:002019-04-12T16:04:26.043-07:00Neeila's Post<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today was my last day at this amazing place. Having the opportunity to meet with the representatives of my state was very significant for me. Yes, I understand that the power to change this country doesn’t relied on me, but, I do have the power to plant a seed that would lead to future roots and positivity.</div>

Our last day in DC. We had a full day of conferences and meetings at the Capitol. I was really nervous, I did not what to expect. After so many weeks preparing our topics to talk with our representatives of Arizona and cochise county the day finally came. We were able to talk with Ana Kirkpatrick, she is really supportive with HSI, STEM, and any other education topic. Also, we went to Raul Grijalva office. Unfortunately, he was not there. However, one of his representatives on the education sector received us. We shared our point of views and request about education and youth. They informed us that Mr. Grijalva is part of HSI and is one of the biggest supporters. The meetings went great! I loved the professional and supportive environment ! </div>

This morning we attended the first day of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) 24th Annual National Capital Forum on Hispanic Education. As a group, we met diverse people from across the country such as Tennessee and Michigan. We shared each other's existing hispanic/latino-related clubs at our institutions. An opportunity arose to share our personal experiences living at border cities which led to a successful and flowing conversation. It was a great experience to learn from each other while also referencing current events. During multiple presentations by guest panelists, we were constantly reminded of the immense increase of hispanic higher education enrollment. A few issues mentioned had to do with higher education, retention, and pell grant funding. The responses given by panelists showed sincerity as they explained why some processes take longer than others and where the complications come from. A few sessions later, we reviewed our topics for our appointments scheduled tomorrow. For dinner we met with Melody Buckner, along with two very kind ladies from main campus.Arianna Buchananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17621029261750725567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169034129361523132.post-28536169468074760762019-04-01T20:41:00.006-07:002019-04-12T16:01:35.681-07:00Neeila's Post <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Having the opportunity to learn, grow, and get inspired are some of the best feeling I can have. Today, during the given conferences those feelings were accomplished. Definitely one of my best experiences ever. Thank you for letting me continue feeding my hunger for higher education; for personal inspiration and motivation.</div>

Today was an extremely productive day. It was interesting to view the quantative data of Hispanics in the US graduating and pursuing higher education and goals, which makes my chest rejoice in pride. For instance, today we had the opportunity of meeting Hector Galvan, he is program manager and adviser at the University of Michigan. They have a program called SCOPE (Student Community of Progressive empowerment) where DACA students receive assistance at paying their tuition. The question is, How is it work? Due to obvious circumstances DACA students are unable to get resident tuition. However, this private program covers the difference berreen non-resident and resident tuition without getting penalized by any laws or regulations. A great example is the following, Non-resident tuition is 1,300 and resident averages 5,000. 1,300-5000=8,000 paid by this program. Allowing students to cover only 5,000 as if there were residents of the state.

Sunday, March 31<br />
Our second day consisted of site-seeing the historic monuments around Washington D.C. As shown in the picture, we walked beside the blooming cherry blossoms and enjoyed views such as the Washington Monument and also the Lincoln Memorial. We learned so much about historic events that to this day affect the world. For example, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum promoted to always "ask why". Curiosity is a significant factor toward success and even more so when seeking improvement. That way we remove the negative factors that detained us from being successful in the first place. The holocaust museum also shed light toward Syria's current state of events for awareness. As I became further informed of the events, I was reminded of how lucky many of us are for our freedom, peace, and rights.<br />
Throughout the day we also stepped out of our comfort zones by trying different types of food than what we are used to. Our first food stop was at a Middle Eastern food truck where I had the lamb gyro; one of the best meals ever! By the time we decided for dinner, we ordered authentic asian food which was a very pleasant meal as well. It is safe to say we are taking advantage of the delicious food in the city!Arianna Buchananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17621029261750725567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169034129361523132.post-8794881642082732212019-03-31T20:01:00.006-07:002019-04-12T16:11:37.561-07:00Neeila's Post<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Today was my
second day in Washington, DC. Is amazing the amount of history imparted in
every street; culture, former times, historical events are all embodied around
the city. Therefore, among us we can also find ignorance, the lack of empathy,
and respect as we interact with many others, this definitely cannot be modified
with the structure of any building, of any monument, of any statue. </span></span></div>

We we’re eager to visit the city and contemplate the most iconic museums and monuments. We commenced our day at 6:30, (3:30 in Arizona’s time), by 8:30 we made our way into the White House. In our tour we stopped by the U. S Department if the Treasury and the executive office. We visited the Holocaust Museum, the walk was entirely worth it. All the places we visited were astonishing, however my favorite part was visiting the Air Space Museum.</div>

Many agree with the idea that there are no better classes than the ones imparted in the most well-known school, named life. I don’t really know in what grade level am I, what courses I'm currently taken, or what my major score might be, but I do know that I would challenge myself to pass each one of the given classes. Today, I arrived in Washington DC; my objective, to learn and feel as much as I can. My mission, to persuade and remain in someone’s brain to create a positive change. </div>

Washington is awesome! It is full of energy ... We went to take a walk around the city, looking for something to eat.. After a 10 - 15 minutes walk, we found the "ChinaTown" in Washington. It has a cool vibe and the food around the area is really good as well. Also, we used the walk to get to know the area and the museams around.Emily S Tinocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07954278402108605567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169034129361523132.post-3438691825985765502019-03-30T19:27:00.002-07:002019-04-12T16:13:52.966-07:00Arianna's Saturday, March 30th-<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8uRZtq5-hwSLweaL_tReI3-NEwtYS_QMqGmq-ufBGPzAxhkwWPnzBe3yDYAcKgDDVGg5rnnpvCz6qFw5IigCVrivsHElMSvLnnM-9YPXtj0e3Ssm06ixzRMFO7NZB9Bb39ZucYBr0s5Q/s1600/IMG_0067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8uRZtq5-hwSLweaL_tReI3-NEwtYS_QMqGmq-ufBGPzAxhkwWPnzBe3yDYAcKgDDVGg5rnnpvCz6qFw5IigCVrivsHElMSvLnnM-9YPXtj0e3Ssm06ixzRMFO7NZB9Bb39ZucYBr0s5Q/s320/IMG_0067.JPG" width="320" /></a>Saturday, March 30th-<br />
Throughout our flights we observed glimpses of cities such as Denver and St. Louis. We were amazed by the white coat of snow Denver had, specially how neat and organized the neighborhoods looked.<br />
Roughly around eight hours of travel, we have finally arrived to our very much desired destination! As soon as we were driven to our hotel, we immediately spotted a street full of food trucks; we know where we will be eating tomorrow! After settling into our hotel rooms we walked around Washington D.C. and planned our day for tomorrow. The architecture in the city is marvelous as well as the enthusiasm shown for the cherry blossom season! We are thrilled to view a few of the many prestigious monuments of the United States.Arianna Buchananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17621029261750725567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169034129361523132.post-44626414453110147162019-03-29T18:46:00.001-07:002019-03-29T18:46:11.485-07:00Arianna Buchanan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello all, my name is Arianna Buchanan from the rural and united city, San Luis, Arizona. I am nineteen years old and a junior at the University of Arizona Yuma Distance Campus as I pursue an undergraduate degree in Family Studies & Human Development (FSHD) with a minor in Human Services. After a year of attending Arizona Western College (AWC) to complete an associates in FSHD as well, I transferred as a WesternCat to broaden my higher education. This upcoming fall semester I will gladly gain the experience of attending the university on main campus in which I expect to grow as a person and student. Once I graduate on May 2020, I plan to pursue a graduate degree in order to work in higher education as a counselor and eventually as a professor. As a current intern at the UA Yuma Campus, I have found immense pleasure in providing guidance to student prospects as well as those already enrolled. Hopefully with ongoing experience in my field of interest. my qualifications will be of great benefit to those in my community. Lastly, I am thrilled to take part in the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Neeila D Borquez, born on March 25, 1991, in Bisbee
Arizona. I was raised in a small border town named Naco, Sonora and returned to
Bisbee at the age of twelve. I am from Mexican heritage and I was raised
surrounded by its culture and traditions. I often spent my time raising my
four-year-old son and completing my bachelor's degree and the University of
Arizona.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">I love reading and learning about others. I currently
work for a company who offers services to individuals with mental health
problems. Two and a half years of experience in this field lead me to the
feeling that there’s always something new to learn. This work environment also
gives me a blind hope of a better world with a more sense of humility. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">I attended Cochise College and obtained my Associate's
degree in Communications. After graduating I took a four-year gap in order to
attend the university and look for a further education, since my priority
became to raise my child. When going back to school, I decided to work on a
bachelor's degree in Human Services and a minor in Psychology. I began this
career with the desire of changing someone’s life and contribute in a positive way
to the surrounding communities. This eventually gives me the opportunity to
meet great people that fill me with their knowledge and contagious me with their
enthusiasm on helping those in need. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Today, I continue
to work as a Direct Support Professional, attending university full time, and
enjoying my son’s company. If there’s any free time left, I enjoy reading,
drawing, painting, and getting together with my family. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif;">Emily,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif;">I am 23 years old.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif;">I was born in
Nogales, Arizona. My family moved to the Southern AZ
border, Douglas/Agua Prieta when I was 4 years old. I graduated from
Cochise College with an Associates of Business and currently pursuing the Bachelors
of Science in Commerce. Growing up along the borderlands gave me the
unprecedented experience and opportunity to thrive in a multi-cultural and
bilingual community. I love keeping myself busy and going to school. I
love reading, traveling and spending time with my family.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
