Unidos US Conference - Maria Ortega

My experience in Unidos was one of the best things that’s happened in my life. I’m thankful for this opportunity, there was so many new things I experienced. I learned things I never heard about and things I knew little about. I honestly was scared at first because I didn’t talk to anyone but by the end, I became friends with entire “Idaho team,” that is how we were known. Not only did I become close to them, but I also met other students from other high schools and colleges. Thanks to Rick for pushing me to meet new people. I became friends with all of them. Not only did I get the opportunity to meet new people and learn new things, I had the opportunity to travel to San Diego which was a bonus.

This trip made me think a lot about my future and the future of others. I had always planned that I wanted to be something big, something that would change my life. This trip made me realize that I can also change other people’s lives because together we are stronger. This is going to be a trip I will never forget, and I’ll be talking about it years from now. That’s all I’ve been doing since I came back. Unidos US 2019 San Diego I’m ready to be a change maker.
