It was the first time I have ever heard or read anything in my whole life that so completely resonated with my experience as a young immigrant child translating for my mother. We immigrated to the Peninsula Bay Area when I was 5 years old, from Ukraine. I made so many calls, sent so many messages, did so many tasks as a kid that required me to translate between Ukrainian and English. These experiences forced me and many other kids to grow up too quickly. It’s now only exacerbated during these tumultuous times. Now I work in the state Legislature, hoping to be a part of improving how information is shared with all communities in our state, especially those most in need like Maggie’s family. — \u003cstrong>Anya\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could share so many stories of parent/teacher conferences, doctor's visits, immigration appointments or visits from the landlord (among other things) when I would hear the familiar \"Ven, ven, Marisol... Dime qué dijo.\" Over the years, I picked up on certain words that I knew were important to know in preparation for these encounters, but there was always that moment of panic when an unfamiliar word would pop up.

It was the first time I have ever heard or read anything in my whole life that so completely resonated with my experience as a young immigrant child translating for my mother. We immigrated to the Peninsula Bay Area when I was 5 years old, from Ukraine. I made so many calls, sent so many messages, did so many tasks as a kid that required me to translate between Ukrainian and English. These experiences forced me and many other kids to grow up too quickly. It’s now only exacerbated during these tumultuous times. Now I work in the state Legislature, hoping to be a part of improving how information is shared with all communities in our state, especially those most in need like Maggie’s family. — \u003cstrong>Anya\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could share so many stories of parent/teacher conferences, doctor's visits, immigration appointments or visits from the landlord (among other things) when I would hear the familiar \"Ven, ven, Marisol... Dime qué dijo.\" Over the years, I picked up on certain words that I knew were important to know in preparation for these encounters, but there was always that moment of panic when an unfamiliar word would pop up. I would immediately imagine the possibility of being held back a grade, or having to pay extra for something, or leading to a misdiagnosis. Nothing that bad ever happened, but that pressure was always present. (As a teacher) my hope now is to be a part of and create learning communities and spaces where our students and our families can engage without having to imagine worst-case scenarios. — \u003cstrong>Marisol\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11831200\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11831200\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda.jpg 1900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">'Being the child of an immigrant always comes with its own series of 'club rules',' said Glenda Cota, who grew up supporting her family with her language skills. \u003ccite>(Glenda Cota)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>...but for many, there are positive memories and pride\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Being the child of an immigrant always comes with its own series of \"club rules.\" If you know them, you know them.

It was just her and I, navigating our way through public transportation. I was intimidated by the front desk ladies, and scared of hospitals, afraid to miss important information to translate. However I was proud to stick up for my grandmother (the staff was not always kind) and be able to help her. To this day I still feel the same compassion to help translate for co-workers, family members and strangers that I see that need help. We all need the power of information. — \u003cstrong>Zara\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a period of time where I resented it a bit, because I felt like I was forced to grow up very quickly in order to help out when my parents didn't understand something. However, I learned to embrace my role because it was my way of giving back to my parents, for all that they have done for me. Growing up under the circumstances that I did is what forged the distinct Chicanx identity I have today. I knew what I was doing was important and bigger than me.

I am the first in my family to pursue a Master's degree and I chose to work in education because I want to work with youth who have gone through similar experiences. I want them to know that coming from an immigrant family is their superpower and to encourage them to keep advocating for their families even when times are hard. I also want to challenge our government agencies to be more inclusive of these immigrant experiences.
