America is a melting pot with so many cultures, however I didn’t know my own culture to begin with. On my way to school I began to I wonder about my own culture, and what unknown knowledge lies under the tales of other minorities. With my hunger to satisfy my need to learn more about my culture, I took a Chicano Studies college course. This has to be one of my favorite academic subject because I was told many different facts and statistics of the Chicano population, from the pregnancy rates of young women to the social experiments done on Chicano students from grade school to high school.
