An open letter to my mom

There have been 21 years of hugs, tears, laughter and love. 12 years of soccer practices. Three years of care packages and phone calls to make up for the missed Thanksgiving’s and birthdays. It’s been four years since the last time I had the chance to wish you a happy Mother’s Day in person.

Graduation Issue: Undocumented student finds community at UNM

The University of New Mexico’s diverse campus community is home to students and staff from all over the world, with 2018 graduate Paola Monarrez being one of them. Monarrez originally came to New Mexico 24 years ago from Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico as an undocumented immigrant. “The most wonderful thing that I found about UNM was the fact that (the University) never discriminated against me for not being a citizen,” she said. Starting at UNM in 2009, before the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was passed, Monarrez said she was very grateful that being undocumented was one of the last things that she had to worry about when pursuing her degree. “I think that being an undocumented person made me feel as if I was incarcerated in my own city.

She has always known she wanted to work with animals — her challenge was realizing that dream.

Graduation Issue: Antino Jackson turns doubt into success

As many people may know, student-athletes often get the benefit of receiving a scholarship to help offset the cost of attending college. They are also asked to perform well in their sport and in the classroom to earn it. Going to school isn’t always easy, and most students will be faced with a myriad of challenges along the way to earning a degree. But Antino Jackson, point guard for the UNM Lobo basketball team this past season, was faced with arguably more than his fair share of adversity on his way to a diploma.

Movie Review: "Midnight Sun" drowns in romantic cliches

“Midnight Sun” is a teenage romance that just didn’t make quite as well as other recent teenage romance films at the box office, such as “The Fault in Our Stars” and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” For those of you who read the book or watched the film “Everything, Everything,” “Midnight Sun” will feel awfully familiar.

Photo Issue: Before I Leave

Photographs are sacred, because they capture moments in time. A photo can be archived and treasured for generations. It is unique to have pictures of people who are no longer with you, pets that you had when you were a child or maybe a picture of your first car

Photo Issue: The Architect

When I asked Antoine Predock for an interview, I was not expecting to be welcomed as if I were a family member who was coming for a casual visit after a long absence. Predock, a renowned architect, greeted me with a big smile, his famous black-leather jacket, his sunglasses and his hat. He was dressed like a motorcycle rider, which helped us bond over our shared love for Ducati’s.
