Local high school student enjoys life on the ranch
December 3, 2015
Twenty minutes outside Bowling Green, a small ranch houses a Greenwood high school senior who is holding on to his bi-ethnic Hispanic identity.
Marcos Espinoza, 17, of Oxnard, California, is a U.S. citizen who is proud of his Guatemalan and Mexican ancestry.
When Espinoza is not on the family ranch, which houses three generations of his family, he feels split when choosing how he will represent himself.
“On the ranch, I can do whatever I want, but when you go outside, it’s different,” said Espinoza.
To escape the stresses of everyday life, Espinoza spends most of his time on the ranch, where he is able to ride his horses, daydream, hang out with his family and be a country boy.
