my racial identity

I have a very different personality than all of my friends. I think differently than they do, but I've noticed that little things change about me depending on who I'm hanging out with. A lot of teens act the way their friends do, so if your Filipino and you live in the projects you're gonna act and talk the way they do because that's what you grew up around. If your black and live in a rich white neighborhood, you're going to act like the rest of the rich kids. the person you turn out to be in the future all depends on where you grow up and the struggles you go through.

You So Old

My grandma has a lot of pride for her Mexican culture. She's always cooking up something good. She is very religious and she has an altar in her room with the virgin of Guadelupe. She kneels in front of it and prays for what seems like forever. She goes to Mexico at least twice a year to visit her mom and the rest of her family. If it weren't for my grandma I wouldn't know the little spanish that i know right now and I wouldn't be familiar with the delicious food I've tried.

Define Culture

I'm not much of a cultural person, but I guess I would define it as where you come from. The kind of food you eat, the kind of dances that are popular in your country, the things that you do define culture. I'm Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Chinese, but my family only celebrates our Mexican culture. We eat lots of Mexican food like tamales and pasole. I use to dance a traditional mexican dance when i was little and i performed it at my sweet sixteen. My family doesn't celebrate our culture through language because only my dad's side of the family speaks spanish.

How Did I Connect To The Theme...

My page connected to the theme because each superhero has a voice. I made the teachers into Superheroes.

Match Making

I think opposites attract because most couples I know are so different from each other. though there are couples who like to do the same things. For example me and my boyfriend are a lot alike, but he is very athletic and loves playing soccer, but I hate playing sports. Some people like dating someone older and some like to date someone their age. A lot of girls I know look for older guys and a lot of guys I know like to date younger girls. A lot of couples meet in crazy or random places. sometimes they have even seen the person before, but never thought they would end up being wit them. For instance, last year I saw my boyfriend once walking in the hallway after school, but he was going out with someone else from the school and I never thought I would've met him, but I did and we've been together for 9 months.

In Love!

Love is crazy. teens fall in love because they hope that he's their prince charming, but then realize later that their partner is not the one for them. They get in relationships because they think the person would be the perfect person for them, if only they would change a couple of things about them. Then they realize they can't change that person and then they break up. Some couples tell each other that they love each other even if its not true because they think that's what their supposed to say to make the other person happy and their relationship just ends up being a lie. I've only been in love twice. the first time messed up my academics and my social life. I fell in love with him too quickly and thought he felt the same, only because he acted like he did. I spent all my time with him and never did any of my homework. I ended up failing or getting an NS contract in all my classes. I also lost a lot of my friend because I left them for him. I also lost my best friend because they started messing around behind my back. Love really makes you blind.

Black & White Seniorities

I haven't been impacted by "SENIORITIES". Seniorities is when seniors start to lack off because its their senior year and they think it's party year. Seniors party instead of being focused on their work and end up failing their classes. Some seniors don't get into the colleges they were accepted into because their grades dropped. Seniors dont take their senior year seriously. Seniorities doesnt affect me, but it effects other seniors in my school. They don't do any of their work and and will end up not graduating high school.
