I can relate to Violet or also known as Violeta in many ways, not just because we are both Hispanic girls and trying to find who we are, but because of what makes us who we truly are. Violet and I both come from Hispanic backgrounds. We both have to carry on our families' traditions but at the same time find who we truly are, trying to fit into a place that is constantly changing, wanting to make something of ourselves, a person.
We have two sides to us, the family side and the "American" side. With our family we have to be the perfect little "niñita", obediant and normal, but with our friends we get to show our true colors, our true self, be who we want to be, no rules or restrictions to hold us back.
Even though Violet and I are about year apart, we can truly understand each other, beyond family and friends, but as Hispanic, all American girls.
