Xotchil Hernandez:
Grade? 11th
What are you involved in at school? I’m honestly not really involved in any school things right now because I just moved here so I’m still kind of lost on how things work.
Do you like your name? I love my name.
Have you ever wanted to change your name? If so, to what? I used to prefer going by Judith because it’s my first name, and no one really knew how to pronounce Xotchil so it was kind of embarrassing for me to correct them, but other than that I love going by Xotchil now.
Do you have a nickname? I have so many nicknames and most of them are from my family. The most common ones are chimus, changa, guera, flaca, chill, chocha, and some other really random ones that I can’t even remember.
Can you play the xylophone? I can’t play the xylophone, but I used to play the flute.
Have you ever gotten an x-ray before? If so, for what? I have gotten an X-Ray before and it was for my left leg on my knee. I ended up having bruises on my bone which I still have no clue what that meant.
