The observation began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988. ********** Here are some fun facts ********* The U.S. Hispanic population has grown significantly in the last decade, from 50.5 million in 2010 to 62.1 million in 2020. Hispanics accounted for 51% of entire U.S. population growth during that period. Four out of five Latinos are U.S. citizens. As of 2019, 80% of Latinos living in the U.S. are citizens. All 50 states and Washington, D.C., have seen growth in their Hispanic populations in the last decade. The share of Latinos in the U.S. who speak English proficiently is also growing. Some 72% of Latinos ages 5 and older spoke English proficiently as of 2019. The share of U.S. Hispanics with college experience has increased since 2010. The number of Latinos enrolled in college also increased from 2010 to 2019, from 2.9 million to 3.6 million. People of Mexican origin made up almost 62% of the country's overall Hispanic population as of 2019. The next largest group is those of Puerto Rican origin.

Oh, lord knows i need it ! Remember, to be your own authentic self. That’s already hard as it is. People always tell me I have no filter but when I don’t say anything I’m acting weird. They say I over think and that I’m too emotional. But, I’m also cold hearted if I choose not to share my feelings. It’s a lose lose situation. So, what ever happens just be yourself.

I should do this everyday 🤣 **Language**: English *61 likes · 9 comments · 1 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/WUZcXKRQMJVDDD.md) --- ## 10. 9/7/2021 Good morning ☀️🌞😃 I like this quote. It’s pretty self explanatory . I even got something similar tattoos on my arm may years back. It reads “ feed yourself faith and your fears will starve” Sometimes we gotta do things that’s out of our comfort zone. Sometimes we gotta face our fears right in the eye. Fear is an obstacle that many of us face on the daily. It could be something small as learning how to drive or something big as living on your own. Don’t let fear prevent you from taking that first step. Do you have any fears ? **Language**: English *51 likes · 14 comments · 2 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/OwImtNO5LRNDDD.md) --- [View all moments on HelloTalk](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/lchan983/moments.md) [Back to Lucky 王乐乐's profile](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/lchan983.md) --- ## Language Exchange Partners -
