Scholarship Spotlight
Natalia Morales
CO-CABE Scholar 2019-2023
“I’m proudly bilingual in Spanish, and English. Spanish was my first language, and will forever be something I will hold so dearly in both my heart and brain, because it is the language that my parents taught me, the language that I was first educated in, and for a part of my life all I knew. My parents were immigrants, and although I didn’t travel to Mexico until I was eight years old, Spanish was my strongest tie to my beloved culture.”
“At 14 I wrote an essay for the CABE Proud To Be Bilingual Essay Contest, and to my surprise, won first place for my age division. I had written my essay at the end of middle school and received the news at the beginning of my freshman year in high school. At the CABE event, I had the opportunity to read my essay, and at one point I looked up and saw the audience crying and my parents in the front seats radiating with pride. When I finished my essay, I received a standing ovation, and could not contain my emotions; tears wouldn’t stop rolling down my flushed cheeks. I couldn’t believe that I was witnessing my words move so many people in one room. I didn’t know how impactful my voice could truly be up until that point, and that has given me the biggest boost of confidence in myself, and has given me a huge sense of empowerment.”
