My name is Ashley Aguilar, and I'm a senior in high school.  I am a Hispanic born in Boston, Massachusetts with parents who migrated to the USA from Guatemala in the 1970s and 1990s to escape poverty and cruelty, I chose this topic for my social justice project because I  am well aware of the struggles of being an immigrant and see the bravery my people take, to take the risks of wanting a better future. I want to be the voice of the many who are silenced and help my people gain respect because they too can bring a positive impact to the community.
