Most people don’t even know which ethnicity they are because their mix race and their family celebrates different types of holidays.

Recently‚ a visit to see my grandma changed my perspective. This visit was the first time I saw my eighty-nine year-old grandmother in her new home‚ an assisted living facility. My grandmother was always a strong‚ independent woman. But now she can no longer live independently‚ due to her advanced age‚ and we have had to move her out of her home into an assisted living facility. The facility that my grandmother lives in is rather innocent looking when you first glimpse it‚ but when you see the residents

My Cultural Identity My cultural identity is being born and raised on a race track with horses while working with horses and raising them with my family.With that when I turn 16 I’ll be able to ride for my family‚ which I don’t want to do because there is a huge risk that I can be injured or even killed.

point in our lives‚ celebrating the engagement of my older cousin. I quickly took upon the role of the event photographer‚ after having been praised for my supposed artistic skill. Then‚ it dawned on me - none of my extended family had seen any of my artworks for at least the past 7 years. The last any of them had seen was likely the deformed stick-figure style I had embraced in my childhood. I had moved on long ago‚ creative writing becoming my preferred past-time‚ leaving behind for them an entirely

My most important experience sought me out. It happened to me; I didn’t cause it. I call it serendipity‚ and he maintains that it was fate. Carolina and I had collected enough signatures to return to our group. She glanced around‚ and without notice walked to a stranger. “Sir‚ do you have a moment? We’re conducting a survey” she asked.

I didn’t know fear until August 13‚ when I found out that he would have to undergo radiation to combat a tumor in his brain.

My grandma’s condition wasn’t anything but hard for me and my family to deal with. Everyday with her was a roller coaster that held many twists and turns and couldn’t stay on the track. If you didn’t hold on tight‚ you’d thrown off. You never knew what she would remember each morning that she woke.

Then she’d be

It remained a typical luminous day‚ you could witness my people carrying out their own roles and their tribes. I for one was with my mother who was trained how farming works and become one day the dominant role of the tribe someday. Consequently‚ I wandered off walking around‚ and I did not notice going quite distant from where I should have been until I was all on my own. In addition‚ I could
