Natalie Molina Diaz - Cesar Chavez
Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) was an American labor leader and civil rights activist. He co-founded the National Farm Workers Association. His birthday is a federal commemorative holdikday in several U.S. state and many places are named after him. Also, in 1994 he posthumously received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Natalie chose Chavez because she identifies a lot with him. He comes from a working-class family and was a Mexican-American living during a time where a lot of people doubted you because of how you grew up. She finds his work inspiring because he proved a lot of people wrong and worked hard to make a difference. Natalie says that his story motivates her to be a voice for those in her community.
"He was one of the most powerful voices ever for working-class Mexican-Americans. He is an inspiration to me because he proved a lot of people wrong and showed you can make a difference no matter where you come from." - Natalie Molina Diaz
Isabel Hernandez Monroy - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)
CHHS Student Isabel Hernandez Monroy chose to recognize Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) for her Hispanic History Hero for Hispanic Heritage Month
Isabel chose AOC because of her position as a student aid in Ms. Knutson's class. Right now, Isabel is the student aid for an EL class and has struggled with nerves due to public speaking in Spanish to students and Isabel speaks in "Americanised Spanish" or Broken-Spanish". She has found comfort in listening to AOC public speaking in Spanish as she relates to the Americanised pronunciations that AOC uses and AOC has spoken about her public speaking fears. Isabel enjoyed seeing someone who looks like her in a position of power, going through similar experiences as her when it comes to Spanish language.
"It is comforting knowing that someone at that high a level of importance is going through similar things that I am. Speaking broken Spanish to a crowd of English as Second Language students can be daunting, but if AOC can overcome her public speaking fears in front of hundreds of people, it lets me believe that I can overcome my fears in front of my peers." - Isabel Hernandez Monroy
