Fui la primera en ir a la universidad

October 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

El 28 de septiembre, 2011

Read this article in English here

Por Saray Argumedo
Traducido por Tom Johnson

“¡Ella no se va a graduar del colegio nunca! ¿Cómo crees que va a pisar el terreno de una universidad?” Yo escuchaba esas palabras de parte de mi familia desde mi tercer año en la preparatoria. Ahora estoy en mi último año de la universidad. Estas palabras me motivaron a llegar hasta aquí. Yo soy la primera de mi familia nacida en los Estados Unidos y la primera en asistir a una universidad.

Mi madre y padre nacieron en 1943 y yo nací en 1988. Su generación es muy diferente a la mía. Nacieron y fueron criados en México, y la vida que tenían en aquel entonces era completamente diferente a la vida que yo conozco. Sus creencias culturales y religiosas eran y siguen siendo muy conservadoras. Se aferran a las actitudes tradicionales según las cuales una mujer debería servir a su hombre, una mujer debería quedarse en la casa, el hombre es quien manda en la casa, o sea “el que lleva los pantalones,” y es el hombre que tiene el derecho de opinar. A la mujer le toca la limpieza, cocinar, y limpiar el trasero sucio de cada uno de los siete niños que parió.

En esta familia nací, pero desafortunadamente soy de una generación diferente. La generación en que nací no entiende las costumbres de la otra, y ellos no entienden las nuestras tampoco. “¿Quién crees que eres quedándote en la biblioteca hasta las tres de la madrugada? ¿Quién crees que eres navegando las calles tan tarde?” “No sé mama, perdóname.” Lo único que puedo hacer es pedir perdón cuando mi mamá me interroga sobre por qué paso todo mi tiempo fuera de la casa estudiando, trabajando, y participando  en la comunidad.  Yo hubiera pensado que estarían orgullosos de mí, pero ¿por qué se enojan tanto? Parece que no entienden que por ser estudiante en la universidad me van a ocupar hasta muy tarde los grupos de estudio y el estudiar en la biblioteca. ¡Trabajo, voy a mis clases, y soy responsable! ¿Por qué no puedo quedarme allá con mis amigos? ¿Por qué no puedo quedarme estudiando en la biblioteca hasta que se cierre? Esto es lo que me ha dificultado en adaptarme a la “America” que me está aguardando cada vez que salgo de la casa. Aunque la frontera nos haya traspasado, yo vivo todavía en México. Me ha sido una lucha pagar la universidad trabajando sin mucho apoyo de mi familia. La verdad, no sé si los estudios de posgrado serán posibles para mí. Mis padres tienen casi 70 años y mi corazón no aguantaría la culpa si yo les diera la espalda y me fuera. Sin embargo hay algo que resulta positivo en todo esto; he allanado un camino que pueden seguir mis sobrinos.

Ir a la universidad está entre mis logros más grandes. Me ha dado esa emoción intensa y el ánimo para seguir adelante.  Lo más importante es que he descubierto un yo diferente. A esta semilla dentro de mí, le faltaba agua, faltaba la pasión para crecer y tenía una sed para algo que yo desconocía – ¡LA EDUCACIÓN! Mi corazón tenía sed para la educación. Ha sido la tierra que permite que mi semilla crezca, hasta ser un árbol gigante. Aún no sé cuál es mi lugar en este mundo pero la educación ha sido mi puerta a mil millones de posibilidades. Un mundo que yo desconocía, y que quiero que los demás descubran. Mi meta es ayudar a quienes están perdidos como estaba yo. Quiero señalarles cómo un individuo es capaz de lograr cualquier deseo que tenga en su corazón. Los logros no son logros si uno no tiende la mano de ayuda a otra persona.

Hazlo tu misma: Dale sabor a tu habitación!

October 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

El 23 de septiembre del 2011

Read this article in English here

Traducido por Vanesa Herrera

¿Quieres un modo creativo para expresarte? ¿Por qué no intentar de redecorar tu habitación? Aquí tienes algunos consejos para ayudar a transformar tu habitación del aspecto soso  a algo más llamativo esta temporada. Si sientes que tu habitación está algo aburrida, empieza de nuevo con un ’maquillaje’ para tu habitación. Agrégale algo de sabor a tu cuarto con un hazlo-tu-misma-diseño de interiores.  Aquí tienes algunos consejos simples para ayudar a llevar tu cuarto desde aburrida a algo más atrevido esta temporada.

Colores vivos

Colores vivos como el verde eléctrico, amarillo, naranja y rosa están de moda ahora. Habitaciones que parecen estar inspiradas por un ave tropical exótica pueden aumentar tu experiencia del cuarto. Intenta pintar con un nuevo color fuerte sobre una de las paredes de tu habitación y escoge sábanas y almohadas que le combinen.

Aromas frescos

Agregando un jarrón de flores frescas en una habitación conlleva resultados impresionantes. Flores naturales tienen el poder de alegrarle el día a cualquiera, y además huelen magníficamente! Como las expertas latinas en decoración de interiores en casalatina.com lo afirman, “No necesitas tener un jardín para traer flores frescas hacia el interior de tu casa.” Sin embargo, si las flores no te gustan tanto, las velas también ofrecen algunos aromas increíbles y también vienen en algunos colores muy lindos.

Arte inusual

Todas amamos un poster de nuestra banda favorita, o cualquier tipo de placer para los ojos. Pero los posters se rompen, se arrugan y  se doblan con el tiempo. En lugar, podrías escoger una pintura pequeña o alguna fotografía realizada por un artista local para colgarla en una de tus paredes. Si te estas sintiendo atrevida, intenta agregarle calcomanías a tus paredes o incluso algunas obras de arte hechas por ti!

Cortinas llamativas

En un luminoso domingo por la mañana, la luz del sol a lo mejor no sea tu mejor amiga. Sin embargo, las simples persianas o cortinas blancas que cubren tu ventana tampoco son tus mejores amigas! Cubre el sol con estilo, agregando cortinas con colores vibrantes y diseños que resalten, como la huella de un animal, rayas fuertes o flores de colores.

Iluminación fuerte

Esto es importante, ya que la iluminación establece el ambiente de toda la habitación. ¿No crees que ya es tiempo de deshacerte de ese simple ventilador de techo viejo? Sería mejor agregar algo de clase con unos focos o araña de luces. “Simplemente une toda la habitación remplazando el tono de la lámpara vieja con algo moderno y al día”, recomiendan las expertas en casalatina.com. Para crear un ambiente de fiesta, encadena algunos focos multicolores alrededor de tu habitación.

Redecorar tu habitación no es tan difícil como parece. Con estos consejos simples, transformar tu cuarto debería de ser pan comido. Un pan atrevido, vibrante, y de buen aroma, eso es! Feliz decoración!

Soul Surfer – la película

October 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

El 7 de  junio del 2011

Read this article in English here

Traducido por Sarah Taylor

Aunque sonaría muy cliché, solo hay una palabra para describir la novela “Soul Surfer” – inspiradora.  No hay duda que la historia trágica, pero inspiradora, de Bethany Hamilton levantará sus espíritus.  Ya que la novela fue escrita por Bethany, al leerla te sientes como si estuvieras charlando con ella durante un almuerzo.  La novela es muy agradable y es un placer leerla.

El 31 de octubre del 2003 fue el día que la tragedia ocurrió.  Bethany estaba haciendo surfing con un amigo en la costa norteña de Kauai, Hawái cuando, de repente, sintió que algo pasó debajo de la tabla de surf.  Entonces, el ataque terrible ocurrió – un ataque de un tiburón que casi la mató.  Si el tiburón hubiera mordido un poco más arriba en la pierna, y si hubiera tocado con una ardería principal, Bethany habría muerto.  De hecho, ella había perdido casi 60 por ciento de su sangre cuando llegó al hospital.  La novela está llena de las descripciones vivas de toda la historia del ataque y como Bethany manejó la pérdida del brazo y el hecho de que casi se murió.

Durante varios meses Bethany se adaptó a un nuevo estilo de vida y reaprendió como hacer las cosas normales.  Con sólo un brazo, hasta las cosas sencillas, como atar los zapatos o poner la pasta de dientes en el cepillo de dientes, eran difíciles.  Sin embargo, ella estaba segura que no dejaría de hacer surfing.  Los padres, los hermanos y los amigos de ella hacen surfing y Bethany se enamoraba del surfing desde la niñez; ella simplemente no podría dejar de hacerlo.  En una entrevista con la revista El Espejo de Gran Britania Bethany dijo, “Para mí, la idea de no hacer surfing me da más miedo que regresar al mar después de la pérdida del brazo.  Sería imposible nunca hacer surfing de nuevo.”  La historia de Bethany es extraordinaria; aunque tuvo una “desventaja”, gracias a su dedicación y ambición ella ganó varios campeonatos de surfing.  Su desgracia también la llevó mucho más cerca a Dios y renovó su fe.

Ahora, es la escritora de un éxito en ventas, y con el estreno de una película sobre su vida, sin duda Bethany Hamilton es un buen model a imitar para las jóvenes.  Su historia nos muestra que puedes hacer todo lo que quieras. Triunfó y ha ganado muchos títulos nacionales en el surfing competitivo, a pesar de que las probabilidades le eran adversas.  Hoy en día hace surfing y disfruta mucho de su vida.  La novela es una historia muy motivadora y llena de las fotos de una chica joven que luchó con mucha fuerza para lograr sus sueños.

Ginger Raya, Board Member Spotlight

October 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Latinitas would like to recognize Ginger Raya for her outstanding efforts to help Latinitas promote our mission of girl empowerment. She is part of the Board of Directors and an active member for the Alliance for Latinitas. We would like to thank and recognize her for her hard work and dedication to the organization. Here is a little bit about Ginger.

Name: Ginger J Raya

Title: Latinitas Advocate, Clinical Administrator at TTUHSC, Adjunct Faculty

What is your volunteer position? El Paso Board Member

What volunteer projects have you helped with? Everything from workshop assistance to fundraisers like Tiara Tuesday, Latinitas Fashion Show and Fotos de mi Alma.

How long have you’ve been volunteering with Latinitas? 3 years this October! I started as a volunteer trying to help wherever I was needed.

How did you become interested in volunteering for Latinitas? I have always loved volunteering and I found Latinitas in a volunteer list serv.  I researched the organization and loved the mission and vision.  I believe that Latinas are  strongly underserved in most arenas. Latinitas draws girls in with interesting sessions and interactive workshops. Media and technology is just the hook that opens them up to additional learning and alternatives to poor choice behaviors.

What has been your most rewarding experience as a volunteer? Seeing what new ideas and empowerment does within the girls.  To see their enthusiasm and hunger for more information is an amazing experience for me as a volunteer.

What do you like most about being a volunteer for Latinitas? I love seeing how the mission directly impacts and enlightens the girls, this is the only reason I am here. Also, trying to get the word out about how important this organization is to Latinas.

Why do you think an organization like Latinitas is important? No one directly targets and consequently impacts this at risk population like Latinitas.  So much more needs to be done.

Describe your other volunteer experiences and/or civic involvement:  In the past I was a Big for Big Brother’s Big Sisters in El Paso.
Tell us a little background on yourself. (ex: family life, work experience, education)   My husband and I have a very young family of two boys (age 6 and 3).  They are very active and play sports like Tball, and Football.  I also am a full time Doctoral student.  I work at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center as a Clinical Administrator and also teach in the evenings at Park University and Dona Ana Community College.  I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s from UTEP and truly feels that educational opportunities are the way we also help to empower young Latinas. As the child of teenage parents it was very impactful for me as a young girl to see my parents’ trials and tribulations in order to get my mother through her higher education pursuits.  I was lucky enough to see her earn two degrees from UTEP and have proceeded with my own educational pursuits through their positive examples.

Obtén ese bonito look de otoño

October 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Septiembre 28 del  2011

Read this article in English here

Traducido por Alex Benitez

El otoño es un tiempo ideal para un nuevo look. Nuevos estilos de cabello y de maquillaje están llegando desde todos lados del mundo. El otoño representa una moda natural con inspiración de las modas del pasado. Desde el maquillaje divertido, fresco  y juvenil de Selena Gómez hasta el cabello natural y perfecto de Taylor Swift, la moda de otoño parece imposible de obtener, pero no se preocupen!

Maquillaje:

1er consejo: Menos es más

Cuando se trata de maquillaje, este dicho es pura verdad: menos es más! No tienes que usar una tonelada de maquillaje para exponer los mejores detalles  de tu carita. El maquillaje supuestamente es para acentuar tu belleza natural, no para convertirte en alguien completamente diferente. Busca una crema hidratante teñida de un color que se armoniza con el tono de tu piel. Evita usar las bases de maquillaje porque envejecen tu piel. Cover Girl es fantástico y una marca no muy cara de maquillaje para todas las edades. Agrega un poco de mascara en tus pestañas y un poquitín de carmín en tus mejillas para darle un punto final a tu perfil.

2do consejo: Anima tus ojos

Como dice el dicho: “los ojos son la ventana del alma” entonces,  porque no hacer que luzcan mucho mejor. Como la moda de otoño sugiere es bueno dejarlo simple y natural, pero no tengas miedo de darle a tus ojos un acento especial. Sombras ligeras son  mucho mejores para ti, porque son adecuadas para tu edad y no te hacen lucir mayor. Realza tus pestañas con un rímel juvenil como el de Maybelline, New Big Great Lash. Y si tienes ganas pon algo de delineador.

3er  consejo: Hermosos labios

Para el otoño mantén tus labios al natural. Apégate a sombras neutrales o usa un carmín que le dé un poco de brillo a tus labios. Stila es una marca de lápiz labial perfecto para jovencitas; no solo es económico pero dura mucho tiempo y tiene un poco de color. Palme’s Cocoa Butter es genial si buscas algo que protege tus labios del frio durante el otoño.

Cabello:

1er consejo: No exageres tu peinado

Cuando estés  arreglando tu cabello, trata de mantenerlo tan natural como sea posible. No hagas muchos rizos, no lo hagas tu cabello extra recio, y no pongas muchos productos en tu cabello. No quieres arruinar tu cabello; por eso mantenlo simple. Lo más brillante que es tu cabello, lo más saludable. Neutrogena  Triple Moisture es un excelente acondicionador para usar en tu cabello, es profundo, repara daño y mantiene tu cabello con aspecto saludable.

2do Consejo: Ama tu cabello

En algún momento de nuestras vidas, todos queremos cabello diferente. Chicas con cabello ondulado quieren cabello recio y viceversa. Ama el cabello que tienes. Si tienes rizos, acéptalos! La moda de otoño  se trata de amar tu belleza natural.  Si tienes un cabello ondulado, acarréalo casualmente o haz que luzca mejor aplicando un poco mas de ondulación.  Si lo tienes lacio déjalo largo y suelto o pon moños  o déjalo todo suelto para presumir tus trenzas. Si tienes pelo ondulado déjalo suelto de modo informal o realza los rizos un poco. Vas a aprender a amar tu pelo ya que todos peinados son bonitos.

3er consejo: Cambia tu estilo

Como mencionado antes, debes de amar tu cabello ondulado, con rizos o lacio; pero no significa que no puedes cambiar tu estilo. Cortes de cabello como Pixie, Bobs o Bangs están de moda este otoño. Agrega una banda de cabello  o un palillo a cualquier estilo para finalizar el gran estilo.
