Latino Families in Therapy Second Edition was published in 2014. Celia Jeas Falicov who is a clinical psychologist, author and currently teaching at the University of California in San Diego wrote the book. As the main contributor of the book Celia’s goal is to help others understand the importance of being competent when working with Latino Families and acknowledging that because the families come from a different background than those giving the interventions we must find therapeutic approaches that will benefit the Latino community. Falicov gives great insight to the different Latino communities that we could encounter and successful evidence based practices that can be used such as a meeting place for culture and therapy (MECA).
In the reading, “(Re)constructing Latinidad: The challenge of Latina/o studies.” it explains the challenge that is, defining what it is to be a Latino in America. In the reading, it gives reasons as to why there is a challenge, examples include how diverse the Latino community is in America and how others in America perceive the Latino community. After reading the article, I saw two main ideas that Aparicio had and they were; redefining what it means to be Latino in America and to show that there are issues in the Latino community that need to be addressed. Then I will provide my reaction based on the ideas I got out of the reading.

From my experience with Adelante I learned that the assistance with the Education of Latino student’s is vital, not only for them, but for their future.

As a member of a working class community, my life has been a struggle between resources and opportunities available for me. Having sparse resources has lead me to the constant push of working towards the things I’ve achieved. Social identities have become a guidance for my future goals and abilities. Being working class Latina, raised in a Catholic family has created many barriers and pathways into the future I wish to hold. Furthermore, taking all the social identities I have grew into have become the bases for my educational goals and identity.
One of my biggest supporters are my parents. Their support and conviction about the worth of acquiring an education has shaped my beliefs, values and ambition to continue higher education and use my career in a progressive way to give back to my community. Unfortunately, not everyone had the same support system like I did. Many of my peers struggled whether to continue their education or financially support their family. This is a very dangerous reality within the Latino community that needs to be addressed and resolved immediately.
Credit Unions Making a Difference in the Hispanic Community Four years ago, I did not find myself in the same place where I am today. Most of my success as a young professional can be attributed to my parents, mentors, and friendships. However, it can also be attributed to the relationship I built with a credit union when I was 18 years of age. Through my high school career, I had to overcome many obstacle because of my lack of legal status.
Getting an AA degree in high school is a huge goal to have, but since I had the opportunity to start dual enrollment early through my school, I can hopefully achieve it easier. All these goals, in one way or another, relate back to my personal purpose that I discovered. My purpose in life is to help others and listen to them in order to cause a social change. This is very important to me and is very present throughout my life and every goal I set. Valencia has helped me shaped myself into a more futuristic student and helped me organize my upcoming academic plans.
Secondary Education in Latin America According to UNESCO Secondary Education Reform: Towards a Convergence of Knowledge Acquisition and Skills Development in 2005, secondary education is the “stage in the education continuum, following the primary level, accountable for the progress of the young during their adolescence”. During this level, values and attitudes formed during the primary level were firmly enriched together with the attainment of more knowledge and skills. In Latin America, secondary education is divided into two stages—the lower secondary stage and the upper secondary stage.
