Essays on Eastern Philosophy, History, and Literature

My background began with an interdisciplinary framework; I began my college education in 2010 at a community college in a Hispanic Community in a small town in New Mexico at the age of fourteen, while still in high school, a practice discouraged by the school district as it took away funding from the high school. From this college I earned my associates degree in 2012, and later my Bachelors in Integrated Studies in 2013, as well as a desire for inquiry and classes in Pueblo Indian Studies, Chicana Chicano Literature and Philosophy. At this point I was determined to pursue graduate work. At eighteen I went to the University of New Mexico and Eastern New Mexico College, both schools teaching me a great deal about the nature of research, as well as what I did not want to have in a graduate school. I eventually found my home at St. John’s College a school best known for its Great Books approach and Socratic dialogue.
