Thursdays assignment

What is your cultural background?How do you identify your self?

There are many varietys of different cultures that are in this world and life time. Mine however is one that is very unique yet common. I come from a cultural background where my mother is mixed with Dutch and Indonesian and my father is white mixed with german and english. My ancestors came from indonesia wqhich is located by the Phillipines. She grew up there untill she was five or six years old. I am very proud of my ethnicity. I am a very unique mix and people always try and guess what ethnicity I am and it isn't that easy to make out. Sometimes people from the mexican decent come up to me speaking spanish and I think that it is really funny because I do not speak spanish and I am not of that decent. I have been a United States citizen my whole life and I am proud!

Do you have any body are such as tattoos and piercings?

I find that it is very common in todays society to have piercings from your personal areas to your ears, bellybuttons, tongue and even neck. Then there are also people that have tattoos any and every where you can imagine. I think that its nice if your tattooo or piercing has meaning. If not I think that it is a waste of time and money. I personally have a couple piercings. I have My ears which I had gotten first then I got my upper ear cartlidge, my bellybutton and then my tongue. When I got all those piercings I thought that it was really cool. Some I ended up keepping and some I ended up letting them close. As far as my tattoo I just have no regrets written on my foot in cursive. I got that tattoo because I have been through a lot in my life and I really think that the place where I have ended up in life is awesome. I feel that I have turned into a really good person and I have no regrets. Everything in life I believe happens for reasons and if it wasn't for those life lessons that we hated we would not be where we are today.

What type of sports or activites do you like?

Kobe, LeBron, Shaq? Those are all recognized today as some of the best players in the NBA. Basketball is my favorite sport I have been playing basketball since I was in fifth grade and I absolutly love it. Basketball is most interesting to me because I love the heart of the game. It is just fun to get aht adrenaline pumping and to just play the game. I know that my heart is really in it because when I play it just makes me feel great.

Would you like to be famous?

There are many famous stars today from Britney Spears to Janet Jackson. WOuld I like to be famous? Oh yes. I think that alot of times that famous is based around everything that a person has, especially money. I think that the best parts about being famous is the money actually. If I was famous I would buy all the newest and greatest things. From the newest phone to the newest pair of shoes, then to the latest fashion styles. If I had that kind fo money I would also do alot to help out the less fortunate. I think that it is a bummer to watch alot of these people these days watching people that are doing everything that they are capable of doing. I know that we are in a recession and that is not good. However there is an excape to all this is to just get a job and spend money wisely. That is why if I was rich and famous I would help out the homeless and poor by donating my money where it is needed.
