__**Misconceptions about Honduras/Central America-**__ **(Intersting!) 4/25/11**

Misconceptions occur every day in every country. A person from Honduras will have a different view or perspective from other countries outside of Central America as well as within Central America. It is normal to have perceptions about what a certain country is like, what the people look like, but because of our human desire to know, we should inform ourselves, read articles, read about the country, talk about it with other people and people who are from that country. However, these misconceptions can cause discrimination, stigmatizations, and more. -People live on trees -People do not have clothes -There is no technology available ie. computers, cellulars, telephones, cars, etc. -Eat and hunt animals to survive -People live on mountains -People live on teepees and use fire to receive heat -There are no schools, supermarkets, or government for that matter

My background:

This flag represents me, my home country Honduras which is in Central America, the Mayan Ruins, the famous beach Roatan which holds 2nd place for the world’s largest coral reef, the Cathedral which has a lot of history since it was Spain who colonized our country and serves as a historical monument from our past.

My Family:

We are a family of seven- my parents, two brothers and two sisters. I am the 4th one in the family and the youngest is 12 years old. We have four dogs- Pomeranian and Schnauzer, we have two dogs of each race. We all get along very well, we rely on each other and have so many wonderful yet embarrassing stories about ourselves.

Present Involvements:

I am currently a member of the INSTA organization in St. Mary’s University which is an organization for international students where we do many activities such as the Soccer World Cup, Cultural Diffusions in food, etc.

Hobbies and Special Interests:

I am really interested in photography as well as sports- basketball to be more specific. I used to play back in high school and we had the opportunity to compete against other Central American countries.

Future Goals and Dreams:

I really hope that one day I can become a teacher, especially for younger children. The area I would love to work in would be special education.
