Logun De La Mora

This is Ricardo Logun De La Mora, however everyone calls him Logun. He is from Rocklin California. He was Born on August 27th 2002 and lived with his family in Los Angeles for the first couple years of his life. At a young age his parents moved to Sacramento to provide a better life for him and his sister.  As a child, he was raised by his parents to show respect for elders, help when possible, and always do the right thing. These are the values that he choose to live his life and what he uses to guide day to day.

Logun and his sister have extremely fair skin and light eyes making them appear as white though they are Hispanic. Growing up this caused him to go through an identity crisis because he was raised in a primarily white neighborhood causing him to put his heritage and culture aside in order to better fit in with those around him. Despite this struggle as he matured and grew older he began to seek out his Hispanic side and observe his culture and aspired to learn more about himself as well as his family.

Logun is a fourth year anthropology major and he hope to one day be a forensic anthropologist. He attended Sierra College before coming to Chico State and decided to choose to be an anthropologist. Originally he thought of being a marine biologist then switched his focus on anthropology(specifically archaeology). After a year of focusing on anthropology he ultimately decided to focus on Forensic anthropology and that is where he is now. Logun's family has always provided for him and have fought hard to be financially well off. His struggles in life were never financial and have led him to try and help others who struggle with money because he will never know what it's like to be them. Though his struggles in life were never financial, he has unfortunately dealt with a lot of loss as well as other mental traumas throughout his life with friends, loved ones and family. Logun feels that these struggles have molded him as a person and have helped shape him into the person he is today. Additionally, he will always believe that these traumas have made him stronger overall and have allowed him to become the fighter he is today.

Logun is excited to be working at The Cross-Cultural Leadership center again. He is looking forward to a good semester and many different ways to keep improving and growing the center. In Loguns free time you can catch him at the WREC! He hopes to see a lot of new and returning faces at the center!
