God is forever

The aspect of my cultural heritage that I am most proud of or interested in is my love for God.

I am American, Italian, Spanish, and Mexican so I was raised Roman Catholic. Both of my parents were Roman Catholic, so I grew up praying Rosaries and today I still pray Rosaries. We also used to go to church, but now I don’t go to church because of the many priests sexually assaulting little boys. I do not condon to that so I will never allow myself to attend church again, that is my decision.

I love God and Jesus Christ and I pray my Rosary everyday, but I can’t go back to the church knowing what some of those priests did to little boys and possibly little girls that is sick. The little kids are in the confession rooms to get their sins absolved and a priest molests them that is terrifying. There is no reason for such crude behavior. I know they all got charged, but there might still be some of them out there, which is horrible. Those poor kids who went through that, it is awful.

Another thing I am proud of from my cultural heritage is my love of Mexican and Italian food such as tacos, enchiladas, tamales, spaghetti, meatballs, and lasagna. It is all really good and when we have family gatherings we all feast on tacos, enchiladas, tortillas and maybe some beans it is good.

The family gatherings are another part of my heritage not so much now but when I was younger. We all used to gather at my grandma’s house and sit around and listen to my grandpa play Mexican music on the guitar and sing. Some of us would sing along with my grandpa. It was a good time. He has passed away God rest his soul, but I will always remember him for that. He was a kindred spirit.

In conclusion; I discussed my cultural heritage, which is my love for God for most, my religion which is Roman Catholic. I pray Rosaries and I don’t go to church. My love of Italian and Mexican food and the family gathering around my grandpa’s guitar. Those were good times.
