Hello my name is Karina.

So this is my second time writing this because I accidently erased my first version.

I wanted to put my post up after finishing the book. Sorry it came so late I didn't remember about the certain time to post it. But anyway introdustions first.

I am from Wichita Falls, Texas.
I have one sister.
My mother and father are both Honduran. It's a country in Central America for those of you who aren't sure of where it is. One thing for sure is that it's not in Mexico. I often get that a lot. People assume that I am Mexican when I am not, and even after I make the correction the most common response is, "It's the same thing".
I am Hispanic, Honduran, American, but not Mexican. I have no problem with Mexicans, but I would like the respect of being known for who I am, and not for what the world wants to percieve me as.
But I digress.
I choose to come to Bryn Mawr, because it is away form Texas, the school is amazing, and I couldn't picture myself anywhere else.
I am excited for what this seminar has to bring and on that note I will get to the second part of this post.

My creation myth is a Mayan creation myth. The link will take you to a website where you read, as you are being read to, while animation is going on. I felt like this was appropriate since stories can be told in many different forms. SO in the words of Thomas King, "It's yours. Do with it what you will."
