Mexican and Proud.

Personally, cultures are interesting. Getting to know what other people eat, what they celebrate, their language. It is all so interesting to me.

Both my parents were born in Mexico and so was I. I don't remember much since I moved to the United States when I was just 3 years old. The way my parents describe Acapulco (where I was born) makes me want to visit the place. All the beaches and different places to go sound so intriguing. Despite the fact that I've lived in Houston for about 13 years doesn't mean that I have forgotten about where I came from and where I was born.

Sure being in America for so long has shaped my roots a bit different. But I still interact with my Hispanic culture. From food, dances, and music, I can't leave my roots behind. I feel like kids should somewhat be aware of what culture they want to grow up in. Leave their roots behind and start new ones? Or keep their roots and just keep adding more to the plate. Personally I wouldn't leave mine, ever. I love being Mexican and being part of the Hispanic Culture. I've never been so proud of where I came from and I am certainly not ashamed. Viva Mexico!
