We can identify ourselves, we can identify ourselves, and we know who we are. We know where we came from, we know what our ancestors did and give ourselves pride.

Many of our history classes, they have no Hispanic literature or they don't teach us about Hispanic history, and us being Mexican students, we're not really aware of our culture and we can't really identify with other people. Students from Mexico, we can't really identify with them because we're not as educated in Mexican history as they are.
