Hi my name is Maritza Flores and I am 28 years old as of today Tuesday, March 29, 2016. I am Brown and Proud, I have Aztec, Mayan & possibly Inca blood running through my veins. I wanted to try something different because I am different. I was brought up in this world not by choice but by chance. You see I didn't ask to be conceived or to be born to this world, to this life. I mean what baby, child, teen, young adult, adult, senior wants to be live in or be brought to a world that fears their own shadow. I didn't ask for my parents to bring me to a world that I have to question who I am at eight years old-instead of playing with dolls. I didn't ask for my parents to raise me in a world full of ignorance where people tell you to love yourself, to respect yourself, to accept yourself-but turn around and judge who you turn out to be. I didn't ask for my parents to raise me in a world full of doubt were people demand freedom and conformed themselves to have freedoms just because a little piece of paper claims you have freedom but you turn around to voice your thoughts, your opinion, your needs and you are shut down some even die for speaking out of term. I didn't Ask my parents to bring me to this world were we are judged by our appearance. Organizations, Corporations, Companies, Industries, state that they don't judge or discriminate - but why won't they hire me? Is it because I am Latina or because I am Hispanic? Can it be because I am Brown & not white? Is it because I'm big and or over weight and not skinny & fit? Can it be because of the ink I have on my skin? Or the piercings I have? I have the skills, the qualifications, I speak clearly, respectfully, I am bilingual, I am a U.S citizen, I have knowledge in computers, I am a quick learner, I type pretty fast. I am furthering my education, I mean why not hire me? I didn't ask my parent to bring me to this world were right from wrong is not well explained. I mean I have not broken any law, or field untruthful information, but I am not being helped or assisted, but them who have cheated the system get twice the help & the benefits. So what's right and what's wrong? I didn't ask my parents to be part of this world were I wasn't able to be who I really wanted to be. You see even earn I didn't ask to be part o this weird world, I am here and I make of it what I can. I have my mother's personality and my father's attitude, but I have neither's mentality. You see I had my first born when I was just getting the hang of being in a relationship. I was young and looking for a way out, I was tired of being blamed on, getting more confused, of being the one that was irresponsible. At fifteen my son was born and he became the center of my world, but then I started to think I don't want him to ever feel how I felt when I was growing up-so I thought that having more open conversations can help. By sixteen I was turning into a predictable statistic. Married into a system where where I completely lost who I truly was and had no self mind. By seventeen my second child was born and my thoughts started to surface again-I don't want my children to grow up confused or ignorant like the rest of the world. You see even when I didn't ask my parents to be in or part of this world neither did my own children. Therefore, my name Maritza Flores, I am 28 years old as of today Tuesday, March 28, 2016. I probably have Aztec, Mayan, and possible Inca blood running through my veins. I am a proud daughter to two great parents who fought & worked hard to put food, clothes and keep a roof over me, I am also a sister to an older sister and a a sister to a younger brother. I am also an aunt to four beautiful girls and an aunt to a handsome nephew. To leave the best for last I am also a mother to a very smart, polite young man, who I know now that will forever be my knight and will never leave me or abandoned me, I am also a mother to a gorgeous young lady who has taught me that patience is a true virtue. Last but not least I am a woman who has fought hard for being who I am today, strong, beautiful-think, smart, respectful, confident, open minded, honest Latina who is true to myself. You see even when I didn't ask my parents to be part of a cold-cruel world I am here and I intend to make it more warmer and loving place if not the world but to whom are part of my world.
