Las Armas

Mayra Contreras-Ramirez

Refran: "All are naturally born with the right to bear arms, all end up just to harm"


Card Description: none


Student Biography: My name is Mayra Contreras, I was born and raised in Santa Maria California and  come from a family of seven. I am the only girl in my family other than my mom. I enjoy  playing Tennis and reading in my free time. After graduation, I will be attending Chico  State and major in Kinesiology.  Gun violence has been a big challenge in the United States of America, and we’ve  seen nothing being done to change this social injustice. This is precisely why I chose it  to represent my Loteria card, so I can lend my voice on a topic needing attention and  awareness to it. I wanted to shed light on how gun violence is affecting many people,  especially our minorities and children, meaning that we should have stricter laws put in  place to prevent more innocent lives from being lost.
