On November 30, 2021, we had the opportunity to have Irma Herrera, writer and performer of Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name? present for a Q&A session with our students. Students were able to stream her play through Latino Theater Co and learned the importance of sharing their names.
Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name? is one woman’s journey from a small segregated South Texas town to California's multicultural mecca. What part of Irma’s identity is she asked to give up for the sake of fitting in and getting along? How can a simple introduction turn into a potential battle to be heard and seen? Weaving history and comedic insights into stories about names, this solo performer invites us to consider how open and welcoming we really are.
Robyn Orozco, Centennial High School Puente Teacher, sent her class's letters for Ms. Herrera after the event. See a handful of student responses to her play and her response here!

Both work and school need to be managed in a student's life, and I have done that by aligning my career goals with my academic choices. I must let someone take my online class when it is my work off-peak hours. I have the support to take short breaks during work hours when I encounter a study task that calls for my focus. During the evening time, I have set an hour for reviewing any material, and I have been helped by selecting courses from projects that directly relate to my career and vice versa. It is about small adjustments, such as taking up or going online, delegating work to other members, and negotiating the deadline. There's always an opportunity…
