In today's generation of teenagers it seems that most teens are in that third option of trying to represent their  parents culture but also trying to establish their own identify as well. What I do to try to represent my parents culture is by trying to learn how to speak Spanish. That's always been something that my mom has wanted me to do due to me being half Hispanic. I understand why my mom wants me to learn Spanish due to it being in being tied back to my heritage.


Another way I respect my mom's culture is by trying to stay close with family. Its very important to stay connected with family because no matter how many friends come and go throughout your life, family is what is always there for you. Being with family creates a bonds that can last forever by making new memories every time you see one another.

    
The way I plan to discover my own identity is when I leave home and go to college. I fell that once I am in college that I will be able the type of person I want to become, by discovering what I want to study in college as well as choosing what type of people I want to surrounded by as try to establish my own identity as well as honoring my families culture along the way. Its important to me that I discover my own identity because it allows me to have that growth of being on my own and taking what I have learned thought  my years of living at home.

Its important to respect your families culture because its that very same culture that brought you hear to this world, but its also good to establish your own identity because its allows you to create your own roots and have to something to teach to your own kids some day.
