A way History has impacted my life is my great grandma's death. When she was alive we used to be really close. While my parents and my grandma were at work she was the one who stayed and took care of my sister and I. She made me want to care for people. When she died I was devastated. This is how Life and death affected my life. We also celebrated some traditions they did in mexico and that made how I thought of my Mexican roots. When I was little my perspective was a lot like my parents perspective which affected my beliefs but now I think a lot more for my self. I am and look Hispanic which means one thing, racism. I've had people tell my family "Do-you-understand-me!" or "Stupid Mexicans" and my favorite "Go back to your stupid country!"
