Personal Narrative: My Latino Culture

334 Words2 Pages

Never have I taken my culture into consideration, but I would more than likely classify my culture as Latino/Hispanic. For starters, I was born in a lovely place called Chihuahua, Mexico. This place is the reason I consider myself a Latino. Why is this my culture you ask? My whole daily lifestyle revolves around this Hispanic heritage. The foods I consume, the language I speak, and the music I listen to all represent my Hispanic culture. Yet, these aspects also link to historical traditions and modern traditions. As for the foods that me and my family make, tamales, chilaquiles, quesadillas, tacos, fajitas, you name it. These foods represent the origins in which they came from. Not only are they delicious, but they remind me of my country.
