My parents have always supported me throughout my entire life journey. They always “got my back” when I need help in whatever situation may arise. There are very few things that my parents have not given me that I believe to be necessary. One thing I need from my parents is more patience. I think my parents are always telling me to do things and expect me to comply right away. I think this is okay at times, but I’m not a superhero, I’m just a kid. I think that if they had patience with me at times, it would be easier for me and they wouldn’t get mad as frequently as they do now. Another thing I think I need from my parents is for them to realize I am not really perfect. I try hard to get good grades and when I do, they expect better grades from me. I think this is just a sign that they know I can do great things and they expect me to do this. I believe that I am intelligent, but I would be much more relaxed if my parents weren’t always criticizing me for the bad things I do. I think I need my parents to give me a bit more slack, then I could get even better grades then I give them today.

My culture has many aspects to it that I have already educated myself on through doing a project in the 7^th grade called the Cultural Fair. I learned about every aspect of the Mexican culture, but there were a couple that I though I needed to learn more about. One aspect of my culture that I want to learn about is about the Mexican Government. I want to learn about my culture’s economy, government style they use, and how they run things over there. I mainly want to be educated on government because would like to compare both the Mexican Government and how it differs from the American style of government we have today. I wonder about the Mexican governmental structure, if they have representatives, senators, or even a president. I have always been curious as to how
Mexico is running their economy because when I visit
Mexico I see many poor families that have to live by selling toys, candy, and jewelry to people walking on the sidewalks or streets. This is very sad to me, and I always wonder why this is happening in
Mexico.

Another aspect of my culture I want to learn more about is about Mexican food. I have seen many Mexican food dishes because my mom cooks Mexican food almost everyday for dinner and at family gathering there is at least some kind of Mexican food. I enjoy eating Mexican food very much, but sometimes I get sick of it and I tell my mom, “Mexican food again.” It’s alright though, I guess. What I really want to learn about my culture’s food is how to cook it. I would like to learn to make Mexican food dishes on my won so that I’ll never be hungry at my house again. Whenever I get hungry at my house, I can just make some of that great Mexican food and be happy.

If I had to choose three aspects of my cutklutre to include in a box, I would probably choose food, sports, and family. I would pick food becuase I come from a Mexican culture, and we enjoy all the Mexican traditional food. Food makes up a big part of Mexican culture, because Mexican food is shared at all my family’s parties and gatherings. Also sports are very important in the Mexican culture. The most popular sport is soccer, or fubol wich is a sport played by almots any person from the Mexican culture, no matter age or gender. Even people from many toher culktures enjoy the sport of futbol. Lastly, I chose family becuase my family is the biggest part in my life and in the my culture. Family is the most important aspect in the Mexican culture beacuse I see my family almost every weekend and I enjoy talking with my cousins and huge family of relatives. In the Mexican culture, family shapes me into who I am and that is why I think it is the most important and most essential aspect in the Mexican culture.

Success is an attribute that many people acquire within their life. Success does not come easy, it takes hard work and time to accomplish. Success, to me, is when somebody achieves their life goals whether it be getting their dream job, getting married, or becoming wealthy. Success is most importantly having the ability to accomplish anything your heart desires. Success is having good health, having a proseprous life, and having the intelligence to make right choices in life that that will please yourself, your family, and especially God. Success is not just having a welathy life, success is having a good character and having a personality that is unique. I think success is a privalege to acquire in life. Success is an advantage that will help people achiveve their goals and shape themsleves into smart, prosperous, and successful people of the world.
