 Today in class we went over Antojos by Julia Alvarez. I learned that Yolanda has traveled to the Dominican Republic in order to search for her cultural and personal identity. This story explores Yolanda Garcia's return to the Dominican Republic for the first time in five years. Tinted with feelings of nostalgia, Yolanda learns about her true antojos--or desires of her soul. School is going good so far.

It's important to budget wisely and explore opportunities for additional income or assistance programs that can help make ends meet.
