Columbian is my families country of origin. I'm a first generation Latin-American. For the most part I'm a fluent Spanish speaker with some occasional "spanglish." Good luck to those applying for 2007 and congrats to those already accepted for fall 2006.

Hello everyone,

I was actually born in Mexico, Tijuana Baja California to be specific. I have been in the U.S. since I was a baby. I don't follow my culture much though. My family for the most part is in the U.S.
I personally consider myself to be an American, It's all I know, you know? I love America. I do speak spanish fluently and I know this will help me with my future in dentistry.

I never forget my roots. 🙂

I hope this helps when getting into dental school. I think we can all use a little boost here and there. 😛

I hardly see any Latinos striving to be something in the Medical field though. 😕 Something in the lines of graduate school you know.

It's nice to know I'm not alone. 😱

Hispanos/Latinos vienen en todas "razas" y colores..

Ps.- Pongo "razas" porque a mi no me gusta ese termino..me parece bastante estupido.. la verdad somos una sola raza humana.. cuando no nos podamos reproducir entre nosotros talvez nos podran separar en species.. haha.. 😉

Haha. you're welcome! Its so great to see several of us. Did you guys see the white thread that was started? That got some pretty interetsting debates going.

[CCN]

I am half white and half Honduran but I look white. I just got the nod last Friday that I am on the way to Puerto Rico. Classes taught in Spanish, books and exams in English. Very excited and nervous. It is a miracle. I have the lowest DAT score and GPA of anyone I have met who got in. Best of luck to all of mi hermanos. Nice job with this hispanic thread and best of luck to all of you. There is always hope.......

Muy bien escrito. Yo tengo esa filosofia tambien, solo existe una raza, la humana. Y si, los hispanohablantes vienen de todos los colores y tallas. Tengo muchos amigos que vienen de Africa, las Americas, Europa y hasta Asia quienes han crecido hablando el Castellano, Español y como le quieran decir. Carlos Fuentes escribe que somos la " asimilación indo-afro-iberoamericana para tender el puente sobre el Atlántico, colmar el abismo de los rencores y las querellas y reconocernos en nuetra otra mitad que es España".

Please do not take offense to what is written. Like I said there, I have no objection to people of foregin origin since I am the product of two imports, but I beleive in the good ole U S of A people should learn English.

I think this is a touchy issue that should be disscussed since it is kind of the topic of the year in the USA. But please, we have to keep it in good spirits because I do not want the thread closed.

And by the way, yes I am starting to re-learn some spanish (from the 3 years I took in HS) since many of my patients at school do not speak English. I wish I didn't have too, but I want to make sure my patients recieve the care they deserve no matter what language they speak. Plus, when I apply for an associate position, I can then state I'm tri-lingual 😀

Anyways, congrats on your acceptance and please contribute to that disscussion in the other thread.

 

[Uracil]

I totally agree people should learn English to the best of their abilities, BUT it is the way this issue is being carried by some people. It feels like they are saying "Speak English, you F* D---b A**- and it is then when it becomes a sensitive issue and gets offensive. There are highly qualified individuals (as an example, most of my professors like my Human Anatomy professors who's an MD and Ph.D, and would soon become the Dean of the Medical school) who HARDLY speak English.

One most understand that United States is "the mother" of all nations in the World and it is holds the strongest political power--It's my way or the high way--It also offers great opportunities to an infinite number of people from other countries, not only from Latin America. It is hard to get someone that is 67 or 45 years old to speak a new language and adapt to a new culture.

So, you might try to get people to speak English, but it is up to their motivation, education, etc to learn English...if not, I'll see them working at Wendy's or painting your house....that's just how it goes...so what's the problem, if it is not ours? Again, this is only my opinion.

I agree with you.. It think people just don't understand the issue completely. They just think hispanics don't want to learn english because they are stupid and lazy.. But that is not true, they are just generalizing over an stereotype . I came here when I was 17 and I had to learn english if I wanted to communicate and study. But my mom is studying right now and it is way harder for her because of her age. It is not as easy as they think.

I know your situation. My Mom was 16 When she came here and my Dad was 18. From what they tell me it was not easy. Especially the fact that they moved to a Polish community where you could get away without learning English.

Long story short, they both picked up the language and have very successful lives here. But my grandparents which were in their 50's when they came here didn't learn much.

One of grandfathers actually did learn enough English and retired as the VP of Carvel ice cream 15 years ago. Funny, he came to this country with just a suit case and ended up being very well off.

Just goes to show you, if you work hard enough, you get what your deserve.

Good stuff, I bet they are quite proud of you as well!
Ole, Ole, Ole... 👍

Ok man, you got me to admit it. Like I said, indirectly, I grew up in a Polish community. When I started kindergarten, I didn't speak a word of english even though I was born here.

They called me ******ed my first 3 years of school then I began to excel past the other students in math and english.

My parents didn't want me to have a hard life so my mom took on a second job so that she could pay for a tutor.

well got damn did it pay off, and yes they are proud. I have an MBA and soon a DDS.

My point is, I think if you come to the US, speaking english is a major advantage. I'm not trying to get political, I just know first hand its the best route.

Any disagreement?

 

[3rdMolarRoller]

Hey guys and gals, I just realized I kind of invaded your thread. Sorry about that

It is a major advantage and people have to realize that. I think they do.. Anyway, I just get mad when people start generalizing and being nasty.. I know you are not being like this, but sometimes I wonder about others 🙄

Ps.- Congratulations for you and your family

There's nothing like having those great tacos el gordo after a night of party at either Plaza del Zapato, Balak, or Tangaloo! I love TJ!!!

There is a place in particular that I love it's called los albaniles en la calle segunda. 😀

Wow sounds like you party alot, at least before dental school. Never clubbed in TJ, sounds like fun though. 😀

I will be applying to USC next year. I would love to get in! 😛
Tell me a little about your experience there??? If you don't mind.

Soy Dominicana, y espero que me acepten en este ciclo porque no quiero estudiar odontologia en Santo Domingo porque se hace dificil poder ejercer aqui.
