It reflects with my attitude. It reflects with me in everything I do. I don’t care what people say or do, to try to put me down for who I am. You are you, I am me. There shouldn’t be a reason why we should be ashamed for who we are. Our families are the ones that raised us up to follow our Hispanic culture and I’ll always represent it
it.

It will keep growing, because people pass it down to each other. Their families pass it to theirs and our culture grows and grows even more. Being Hispanic is the greatest and I wouldn’t trade it for any other type of race, being Hispanic will always run through my blood, until the day I die.
