My Hispanic roots

I am very much proud of the person I am today. I am proud being Hispanic descent, girl, I was born in the U.S, in good ol' Kansas. I love my black, thick hair, my dark eyes, my fair/medium skin. I love eating my tortillas and I love eating my sandwiches, I love being bilingual, I love the value, belief and the behavior I was grown up with. My Spanish is nowhere near perfect, but I have no shame in speaking it. I will always have a lot to learn and I will continue to grow my knowledge and pass it to my kids. I want them to be proud of who they are, and never be ashamed of speaking Spanish like I was when I was growing up. I felt as if I needed to fit in, and I wish I never would have done that. I decided that English would be my first language, and know I struggle to say a proper sentence in Spanish, but in life, it is trial and error and we do learn from our mistakes. No matter where you come from, your culture, your beliefs, race, and religion always be proud of who YOU are and never let anyone tell you different.
