 Culture, it’s your ethnicity, where you come from, and what you’re made of. Im Andrew I’m Mexican-American, I’ve lived on the west-side most of my life and grew up with white boys, but it’s more than that, culture goes deep down to the roots. Both my parents came here from Mexico and they brought things with them that are important with the culture of being hispanic. My mother brought the taste with her and food has a huge part in being hispanic. My mom can make a lot of hispanic dishes like tamales, posole, chiles rellenos, Enchiladas, ect. Many traditions come with being hispanic for example quinceaneras (when a father’s daughter turns from child to adult) another one would be el dia del los muertos (a day to celebrate the dead), cinco de Mayo (Mexico’s Independence), and many others. Being hispanic i feel like is the best ethnicity of them all. Why?? Well mexicans always have big families so that means more parties all year around, Mexican food is just the best especially when the food is being made by grandma. Spanish rock also has a lot to do with my culture (my dad loves spanish rock), it’s always being played and it’s actually really good even though i don’t really understand it much. A huge plus that comes with being hispanic is the pinata, on birthdays they bring out a cardboard wrapped something that has candy’s inside and you get to hit it until they fall out. Mexican snacks are probably the best in the world just try and picture this in your head: corn on the cob with mayo evenly spread on the corn with parmesan cheese and chili powder sprinkled on the mayo now just think of a baked potato with a thick layer of yellow shredded cheese, sour cream on top with bacon and chive bits all over it.

My personality

Ummm my name is Andrew Torres im 17 years old my personality is ENFP. I don’t really know how to do this, no matter how many times my english teacher explains it i’m still lost and that kind of ties into my personality. I have a short attention span but i can still get things done. Im hands smart and don’t think with my head at times. I am a huge + for other people because i’m funny. I’ve been told that I’m gonna be a great comedian in the future. I’m a very outdoors person and love being outside. I watch survival videos thinking i can live in the outdoors just like them. Another thing to add about how i’m lazy i waited last minute am now i’m here doing it in class I even missed the soft dead life. I’m a pretty hard guy but i have a soft side when it comes to my friends and family. I care about other people’s feelings even if we don’t talk anymore, if i even see if there looks like something’s wrong i’ll most likely text you asking you how you’re doing. The website says i can change the world with just my ideas and i think that’s wrong because my ideas aren’t straight it also says that i have a free spirit and that’s pretty accurate. My career options were pretty close i can pick from fitness to company manager. My all round feelings about the results of this test are kinda 50/50 because there are things here i can agree with but also some i can disagree with. So let me just put it straight i’m just your average guy kinda good lookin kinda not but my personality is pretty sweet when you know me or if you are great friends with me. Sometimes i’m bit of an asshole and im kinda a bully but none of the things i say are meant to hurt. If i ever cross the line then i’ll apologize and try to make it up to you but chances are that won’t happen.

Identity isn’t it crazy to think that out of all the people that have ever lived on this planet that no pair of human beings are the same, everyone is different in their own ways. How do you become you? Or what makes you become the person you are today? When does that start? Here’s a little introduction about me and what i’m about. I’m a teenage dude that is attending High School. I’m gonna be 18 in a couple of days and right now i’m funny and kinda hard working. I work more with my hands than i do with my head. Would rather work harder than work smarter at times. I’m always trying to make people laugh and sometimes i’m a little harsh with my jokes. I’m a  knucklehead but if i’m friends with you then i really care about your well being/health. When I was a kid i was the wildest kid i would eat dirt, climb chimneys, and even throw dinosaurs at my sisters cereal. Now i’m a older and i don’t throw things in my sisters cereal or climb chimneys. Im super busy around this time of year (end of school year) trying to balance school, my Ag project, football, and a social life. Other guys might be kinda like me but not like me at all.
