Not right now. I need some space.

Not a space between us.

In the midst of confrontation,

she found clarity.

She expressed regret

that she had to ask me...

to deal with the basic question of my life

at such a young age.

And then she asked it.

"Is what you want for yourself...

"to become someone very different...

"than me?"

I have been overwhelmed...

by your encouragement

to apply to your university...

and your list of scholarships

available to me.

Though, as I hope this essay shows...

your acceptance, while it would thrill me...

will not define me.

My identity rests firmly...

and happily on one fact:

I am my mother's daughter.

Thank you. Cristina Moreno.
