Abstract
The shape I have tried to give my SIP follows the coming of my great grandmother's
family to America, a few small incidents in her life and some very
difficult moments in which she had to question her identity and sense of belonging. It
ends with her as a teenager working to contribute to the family income in a factory,
followed by an encounter in which she not only stands up for herself but also challenges a
boy who, in a way, represents the many who have tried to keep her down. Although her
journal continued after this stage of her life, I wanted to focus on the struggles she had in
her youth that formed who she was and who she would become.
