"LIA is a class that teaches you how to express yourself to the people and teaches you how to be an example to other latinos and people around the school, it also teaches you to represent your culture as a latino and how to be responsible with your own stuffs."

Advice to the next class and to the next generation is that it dont matter where you from you should be proud and not ashame even though there's people that sees you as an immigrant and would bully you because you are probably still learning the language don't let that get into your head and take it as something that gives you motivation to shut their mouths and show them that you are strong enough to keep doing the things you like, also share your culture dont be afraid to say what you think.

Jordanna Carrillo 

LIA has been a class were I have learned a lot of skills such as communication,  team work, and leadership.  I have met people with similar backgrounds as mine that have accepted me.

My advice to the next class, is to have  faith in yourself, do not care about what someone else says or does,  you do you. 

The motto of LIA is to empower Latino youth through culture, service, leadership, and excellent education with the sole purpose of graduating from college . Although, being in LIA, it taught me different a whole different perspective of the word of action that I was aware of before, but now I actually comprehend it the context of it. I learned to not only talk about it, but to be about it. 

Fatyma Vazquez 

Lia has had a very huge impact on me. At first i didnt think id like this class and id just be here and wouldn't interact with anyone, but i soon enough started to make new friends and started interacting with the people in it. It has really made me slowly start to grow as a person and change the ways i think.

 Ad LIA has been a class where I have been able to fully express myself and feel like I am at home. I got the chance to have my voice heard and my opinions heard. It is a class that teaches you to take action and not let your voice be faded away. There are many activities and lessons we learn about volunteering, tutoring , culture, and many more. I would definitely recomment taking LIA! Advice for the next class is to never avoid speaking up for yourself and always have fun no matter hat.

Allan Velasquez

LIA taught me many important  things such as: teamwork, the importance of taking action, communication is more important than you think, into many others. LIA is the perfect definition of a fantastic class, where you can meet a lot of people from different countries, learn about their cultures, help others by volunteering with different LIA activities , and where you can have a lot of fun  with your classmates and learn a lot with the weekly activities that different groups have to come up with.

What advice would you give to the next LIA class?

The advice I would give to the next LIA class is to participate in all LIA activities and to encourage others to be part of them as well because in these activities you can learn a lot of things that can be very helpful for you when getting out of high school.
