What Do I Want to Learn From My Parents?
First of all, I don’t think I really would want to learn anything from my mom’s culture. For some reason, I never wanted to see that side of my culture. It always reminds me about poverty and how people over there beg for new lives. Besides, the holidays, such as Christmas is distinguished really close to the way we celebrated. My dad is Mexican. In his side of the family has lots of fun and treat everything in a focused way. In Christmas, in
Mexico, my dad told me that the people walk around streets and sing to the houses around the block. The all gather food and at mid-night they gather around a campfire and sing to Jesus and create a festival. On January, there is a day of the three kings and the kids get a toy and a candy, and then celebrate by playing and dancing. You might think that just because your parents tell you that they had a lot of freedom in their country, that doesn’t mean that they don’t have other responsibilities around and outside their houses. In
Mexico, the kids had only three responsibilities. First of all, they had to go to the store and get milk. Secondly, go to school, lastly finish you homework and stay out of your parents’ way when they cook. And that’s only what they did in the weekdays. Anyways that’s all that I would want to know about my culture.
