This series of oral histories was written by students in Sra. Heggelke’s Spanish 4 and 5 classes at
KIHS during the 18-19 fall semester as part of their unit on Las identidades personales y
públicas/Personal and Public Identities. Although the students had read testimonies, watched
videos and even studied art works all depicting the theme of immigration, this project allowed
them to learn directly by hearing first-hand accounts from Latin American immigrants.
When sharing their written narratives with each other, the students identified common
experiences woven through the immigrants’ stories, such as the difficulties faced when living in
a new place and the struggles of leaving loved ones behind in their home countries.
Other testimonies were included in this project but permission was not granted for publication.
Note: due to the sometimes sensitive nature of the topics discussed, students were given a choice
to conduct interviews in English or Spanish, depending on the comfort of the interviewee to
communicate in one or both languages. As an exception, students taking the course for Spanish 5
credit were required to conduct the interviews in Spanish.
