My name is Alfredo Duque. I’m from Mexico. I’m 17 years old and I’ve been living here in the United States since September of 2007. I’m interested in Human Rights because it I’ve experienced discrimination and I believe that without the protection of our rights we cannot live as a human being, but as nonliving objects. I’m part of this class because I know that I can give something to the community. I know I can help, and I will do everything I can to fight for our rights. My only hope is that I could be able to keep working for my community and my beliefs.
