Latina

For young, wealthy, white men

college is an option.

Deemed a casual (yet educational) vacation they can just show up to because the library,

is named after their grandfather.

But for me,

A young, middle class, Latin girl,

my ability to get into college

is the only thing that sets me apart.

I am the most important girl in my family

La princessa

I am brown and my last name is Ortega

I clean up after people for a living

I am a walking stereotype

I date boys named Kyle to help me get into college

Cause the libraries at the schools I’m applying to are named after their grandfathers.
