The competition is an opportunity to motivate, recognize, and celebrate our strong student voices through writing, spoken word, and art.<\/i><\/p>\n\t<h2>I Am This, Yet So Much More<\/h2>\n\t<p>Every now and then, I get asked who I am.<\/p>\n<p>I would answer, but I was never fully satisfied with my response.<\/p>\n<p>Who am I? I knew part of who I was, but only because people would tell me repeatedly.<\/p>\nI am the daughter of two loving Mexican parents who immigrated from Queretaro to the<br \/>\nUnited States over 17 years ago. My parents are always telling me that I have to be important.\n<p>&#8220;Yo creo en ti. T\u00fa puedes ser lo que tu quieras.&#8221;<\/p>\nThey believe that I can, so I try to make myself believe that too. I don&#8217;t want to disappoint<br \/>\nthem.\n<p>I am the younger sister to Josue, and the older sister to Adriana.<\/p>\nI am Catholic, one of the many who celebrate Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, All Saints&#8217; Day,<br \/>\nand so much more.\n<p>I am a violinist, a writer, and a student. I am what gives me joy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But, is that all I am?&#8221; I used to ask myself.<\/p>\nBack then, never did I think I could be one more thing. All my life it was just waiting for its<br \/>\nchance to emerge: I am a RUNNER.\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\nI was in seventh grade. The first semester had only just begun when I first heard about<br \/>\nStudents Run LA. I didn&#8217;t care, simply waving the thought away.\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\nIt was after school when my friend Betsy asked, &#8220;Can you come with me to Mr. Lo&#8217;s room?&#8221;<br \/>\nI thought for a moment. &#8220;Yeah, let&#8217;s go,&#8221; I responded. I had some time on my hands.\n17<br \/>\nWe arrived at his classroom where he was standing at the door dismissing students as they<br \/>\nleft the class. Betsy asked for &#8220;the papers.&#8221; Mr. Lo went inside the class and came back to the<br \/>\ndoor with the pile. He talked for what seemed like forever. Mr. Lo explained all the<br \/>\npaperwork Betsy was supposed to fill in so she could run. IT WAS A LOT!\n<p>&#8220;Are you going to join, Isabel?&#8221; Mr. Lo asked.<\/p>\nI thought I wasn&#8217;t, but at the same time, it drew my attention like a cat chasing a rat. A<br \/>\nmystery I wanted to uncover, a light within reach.\nHe gave me the papers too, but I was still hesitant because I didn&#8217;t want to wake up early, I<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t want to give up my afterschool time, and I didn&#8217;t want to have to shower more often.\nI stashed the pile away in a folder filled with other stray papers. That was that, or so I<br \/>\nthought.\nThat same day though, SRLA came to haunt me. I was eating a warm bowl of pozole with my<br \/>\nmom and dad. My brother came in through the door. He got his food and ate with us too.\n<p>&#8220;Ma, Pa, quiero correr en SRLA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That is how it all began.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n&#8220;Ya fui ala clinica para que llenen tus papeles,&#8221; my mom told me one Tuesday afternoon<br \/>\nwhen I got home from school.\n<p>I had almost turned in all the paperwork. All that was missing was my sports physical.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\u00bf\u00a1Pero que crees que me dijeron?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>THUMP!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;La enfermera me dijo que no puedes correr.&#8221;<\/p>\nMy heart shattered. I can&#8217;t believe they said I couldn&#8217;t run! I didn&#8217;t really want to run, but I<br \/>\nwanted to at least try.\n<p>&#8220;\u00bfPor que?&#8221; I asked, trying to hold back my shaky voice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No pues resulta que solo dijo eso porque hace mucho calor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n18<br \/>\nWe both sighed with relief. It wasn&#8217;t because of the way I was born. The doctor just thought<br \/>\nit was too hot outside.\n<p>I was born different. Or at least not the way I was supposed to be.<\/p>\nI was born with one leg longer than the other and both hips dislocated. My mom first realized<br \/>\nthis when I began walking. She knew something wasn&#8217;t right.\nMy surgeries began at the age of three after my mom found Dr. Anthony Scaduto at the<br \/>\nOrthopedic Institute not far from home. In the time span of two years, I had five surgeries. I<br \/>\nremember going to transitional kindergarten with a wheelchair. I felt empty not being able<br \/>\nto walk. I was sitting in a chair with wheels while everyone else was in the playground by the<br \/>\nslide, in the monkey bars, in their tricycles, running. Moving freely. I wondered if they ever<br \/>\nrealized how fortunate they were.\n<p>Then, I started walking again. But I was never fully &#8220;cured.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\nBy November, the final roster was officially posted, and I was officially on Animo Jefferson&#8217;s<br \/>\nSRLA team.\nI ran, I ran, and I RAN. Feeling like I never had before. I knew I was different and that I had<br \/>\nto push myself more than others to demonstrate that I, too, can run. I knew I was different<br \/>\nand that might hold me back. But that was also what motivated me. Knowing that if I just<br \/>\nkept running, I could do something that I never thought I would.\n<p>Time went by just like that &#8211; adding one mile to my distance every week.<\/p>\nBut it was never that easy. I would hear teammates complain about how sore they were or<br \/>\nthat they were injured, and I would sometimes say those things too. But I tried to shut myself<br \/>\nup whenever I found myself complaining.\nEvery Saturday, as the runs got longer, my legs felt as if they had reached their limit. They<br \/>\ncouldn&#8217;t sustain my body as I walked up the stairs after each of those long runs. Doing<br \/>\nsuicides, sprints where I raced my teammates, during an indoor practice was worse though.<br \/>\nWhenever I went against someone faster than me, my eyes would tear up because I felt that I<br \/>\nwould never be better. No matter how much I tried. That was my condition.\n<p>So why did I keep running if it hurt? Because I am resilient. Because I am passionate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n19<br \/>\nI remember vividly feeling the goosebumps flow all over my body when reaching the LA<br \/>\nMarathon finish line. Thousands of thoughts rushed back to me: How in every race the end<br \/>\nseemed unreachable as if I was back in bed with my cast. How every Saturday I debated<br \/>\nwhether to go to practice or not. Like when one of my most loved relatives suggested I should<br \/>\nquit.\nStrangers cheering, the time ticking, the music beating, the runners sprinting, while I pushed<br \/>\nmy legs to the impossible. Younger me would have never thought I was capable. Even as I<br \/>\nwrite this, I am still in awe, filling my keyboard with tears.\n<p>I&#8217;m glad I can stand, I&#8217;m grateful I can walk, I&#8217;m thankful I can run.<\/p>\nThank you, Betsy, for asking me to go with you to room 114 because without that I would<br \/>\nhave never been a runner.\n<p>I am me. No one else but me, and only me.<\/p>\nThere is still more to discover about my identity. I realize that my past limitations don&#8217;t<br \/>\ndefine me. Even when others doubt me, I now believe I am capable of achieving great things.<br \/>\nI am the one who decides who I AM.\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.greendot.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/04\/ISABEL-LOPEZ-thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Thumbnail of Isabel Lopez\" title=\"ISABEL-LOPEZ-thumbnail\" \/>\n\t<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Isabel Lopez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8th Grade, <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.greendot.org\/jefferson\/\">\u00c1nimo Jefferson<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Guiding Teacher: Elsi Mendez-Lara<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the piece that won first place from all of our California Middle schools by Isabel Lopez, a student at \u00c1nimo Jefferson Charter Middle School. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":12336,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,13,38],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-12073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animo-voices","category-featured","category-series","tag-green-dot-california"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Writing: &#039;I Am This, Yet So Much More&#039;
