Prince and Huge Role

1. My culture has been such a great influence in my life. The biggest showing of this was when I got to Presentation College last year. Missing all the different foods and just the family exercise and rituals that I went through, and not even noticing them till I was away from home. It went unnoticed for 18 years, and it was first noticed when no one around me could understand a lick of Spanish. That’s when I knew and understood my culture played a huge role in my life. From the foods, to the language spoken on a daily basis. I knew where I came from but just never knew how much I valued it.
