My Family Roots
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be raised in a culture besides your
own? I come from a Hispanic background but to be more specific my family roots stem from the
beautiful island of Puerto Rico. My understanding of a very traditional Puerto Rican family is
one that is always united from toddlers into adulthood it ranges from grandma (Abuela)- grandpa
(Abuelo), aunts (Tia)- uncles (Tio), Cousins (Prima/Primo), Mom (Mami)- Dad (Papi).
Unfortunately, I wouldn’t consider my family to be the old fashion traditional Puerto Rican
family. It is crazy to think that although all Puerto Ricans share the same ethnicity we are not all
the same. We share many similarities but we also have many differences ranging from religious
beliefs, how we are raised (values), and how the family celebrates the holidays and comes
together for these special occasions.
