Mi cuerpo habla por me, My body speaks for me, no mi voz… not my voice… Se mueve al ritmo de la música It moves to the rhythm of the music con mucho vida. with much life. Patricia Garcia was born in 1980. The daughter of non-Spanish speaking parents, she always wanted to learn the language of her Spanish ancestors. Feeling that she was missing out… Lacking a piece of her past… This year she continued her journey toward mastering the language she has always loved more than the one she speaks by taking Spanish 101. She is an English Major and Poet hoping to someday publish books of her works in both English and Spanish.
