My piece is the representation of nationality. The girl in the drawing is supposed to represent myself, with the flags stitched together to represent my identity. I have a hispanic background and I have always been proud of that, but sometimes I feel like I do not belong in that community. I am a second generation Argentine-Colombian, but I have never been to these countries, my Spanish is not very good, and I barely know my extended family. The "denied" stamp represents disapproval, the unacceptance in the community. The 15th article states that everyone has the right to nationality and that no one should take that away from them, but how can I feel a sense of belonging when it always felt like it was never mine to begin with.

Carter Greenberg, Writer

My name is Carter Greenberg (They/Them) and I am a freshman reporter for the Wire. I decided to join The Wire because I enjoy interacting with my peers and talking about relevant topics about the school. My favorite types of writing are fictional but I want to try a different style of writing and get better at writing in different contexts. A fun fact about me is that I turned my hobby into a very successful business.
