As we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month here on the Forty Acres, we leave you with the story of Melanie Parra. You may recognize her from many of her viral in game volleyball clips or from her time on the Mexican national team. Here at Texas, she’s a key factor in our nationally ranked (number one, may I add) volleyball squad’s success. However, this conversation was based very little on Texas, and more on what makes Melanie, Melanie.
I love my culture. I’m so proud of being Mexican. It's something I am not ashamed of. I love my culture, my people, and where I came from.
