Jeremy Lin, America Ferrera. This second essay by Ferrera is more about what was lost when her family left Honduras. As great as her life in the US has been and everything it’s allowed her to do, the move also distanced her from her heritage. She tells this through a work trip to Honduras where for the first time she learns about her extended family, who they were and what they stood for.

Carmen Perez’s essay came off a little too polished and humble-braggy, like she was doing a job interview. Issa Rae’s was much more personal, embracing her own flaws and shortcomings.
