How important is it for you to retain your cultural foods as you move forward in life? Explain the importance and which foods you cannot live without.

 It's very important to keep eating and or making cultural foods. They are apart of my life and helps me be closer to my roots. There's also a lot of happy memories involved with these types of food, so that's a bonus. I don't think I could live with tamales or flautas. Both of these are things my Mother has made for me since I was little, and it makes me feel closer to her. I've actually made it a habit to be in the kitchen and ask her to teach me to make them.

Prompt: Write about what you did over the Spring Break. Apr 21

Prompt: Write about what you did over the Spring Break.    Over the spring break, I went to a weekend camp for kids with cancer with my Mom, cousins ,and Aunt. It was from Friday to Sunday, but other than that I mostly slept during the break. However, My birthday happened on the break, so my father took me to go buy antique books. Then me and a friend went to a bunch of abandoned structures to take pictures, and we ended the night off by going to McDonalds to get the Minecraft movie meal. It was definitely better than the last break, because it wasn't as stressful.

Prompt: How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day. I find it hard to find time to enjoy my day, but I try to at least multitask. For instance, I recently have tried listening to music while doing things to make stuff somewhat more enjoyable. I also try to sit down and have dinner with my parents. Trying to keep that as a constant has been difficult, but it's proven to be worth it. Keeping that connection with my family is important to me, despite anything I've got going on. Another thing I do is to sometimes just pause and take a breath. This helps to get me back on track when there's a lot going on. I'm still figuring out more effective ways to find time, especially for things out of my control.

Prompt: Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.  Something that I've outgrown but will probably still miss is Halloween. More specifically trick or treating. It's probably the best holiday for kids for two reasons: one, you get to dress up as something you like and two you get FREE candy. You basically never get anything for free, but on Halloween kids get candy just for knocking on peoples doors. While you can dispute that you've got to walk for that candy, that's basically the best part. What's better than running around AT NIGHT with your friends? When you're a child, that type of freedom is crazy and I'd like to experience that for the first time again.
