A series of Kahoot rounds were held, which consisted of questions regarding Latin American cultures, and one of the winners was one of our colleagues.

I loved being able to participate in the event, especially because for me, as well as for everyone else, it represented a little bit of us, of our countries that we had to leave behind when we came to the United States. On each of the tables, there was a flag from the different countries that make up Latin America, and I loved being able to find a flag from my beloved Peru.

I was thrilled to be able to be in a space where the language heard is Spanish, and although we speak Spanish at home, I miss it more every day. I am grateful for the opportunity I was given to come to the United States, but every day I miss my home more. Being present at the activity helped me feel at home and learn more about the different cultures present in the countries.

This experience taught me many things. I learned that no matter where I go, I will always find someone with whom I share, in some way, a place of origin. I learned how beautiful my culture is (as well as others) and how to value it even more since I am physically far from it. I learned that it is possible to take that part of me everywhere and that I can make it known to many people. And one of the most important lessons for me was that I learned how much I love and how proud I am to be part of Peru, and Latin America.

I hope that this type of activity continues to be present in the school, not only for the Latin American culture but also for the rest of the cultures present in the different continents. Many thanks to all those who contributed to the activity being carried out, you cannot imagine the great impact that it generated on the students. :)
