I was born in Abasolo, Guanajuato. In the beautiful country of Mexico. I love to celebrate May 10, mother's day, because in my ranch, they celebrate by hiring mariachi and giving all of the mothers gifts. They also give everyone big baskets full of fruit. Some foods I love to eat are barbacoa de chivo, very delicious! My family loves Christmas time, all of the singing and baking that my family makes is very delicious. We all go to see the nacimientos in all of the houses in the neighborhood.We love to see the fireworks when it is New Years. Mexico is a beautiful country with so many celebrations and traditions I love Mexico. 🇲🇽

I had the privilege of being born in the most beautiful country in the world, I was born in 🇻🇪 VENEZUELA. Venezuela is located in the north of South America. It is known for its large oil reserves. It has one of the richest soils in the world, with reserves of mineral and energy resources.
Currently, Venezuela is going through one of the most horrible episodes in its history, a long dictatorship of 21 years. This situation has most of the people in poverty and with few employment alternatives because the government expropriated many companies and closed others. These and other political causes gave rise to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that forced Venezuelans to migrate to other countries and today we are scattered all over the earth.
However, Venezuelans are people of faith, resilient, hospitable, hard-working, enterprising, generous, happy and friendly. And we are sure that we will emerge stronger from this bad streak, with the help of God.
Now, I will share part of our cultural identity. The National music is the "Llanera music", its typical dance is the "Joropo" and is danced in the typical costume called "Liquiliqui".
There are many holidays in my country, but I like Christmas because the family gets together to make "Hallacas", which is the typical Christmas meal and to go to the Rooster Mass.
Venezuela has different very delicious dishes, but the most typical are: Pabellon, sancocho, arepa, cachapa, empanada, among others.

My name is Silvia perez 🇬🇹
I was born in Guatemala City,it's a beautiful country, typical foods are tamales wrapped with banana leaves, there are many typical costumes, the most common is the cut, and the typical blouses that are very colorful, there are many traditions such as Semana santa , Day of the Dead,  My favorite is is Semana Santa, because I can eat the traditional honey bread. What I would like to change about my culture is that there would be more schools because the level of children who do not go to school is very high and the government they don't care .there are not many jobs and if you have one the dont pay enough the for the heavy work that is why many of us emigrated to the United States so that our families have a better future and better education for are sons ,but I love my country ❤🥰

I was born in Guatemala City. It's a beautiful country.
The traditional food or dishes are: pepian, fiambre, tamales, enchiladas.
My favorite holiday is the carnival.
Carnival typically involves public celebrations, including events such as parades, public street parties and other entertainments, combining some elements of a circus. Elaborate costumes and masks allow people to set aside their everyday individuality and experience a heightened sense of social unity.

Sinaloa

Free and Sovereign State of Sinaloa, is one of the 32 states which comprise the Federal Entities of Mexico. It is divided into 18 municipalities and its capital city is Culiacán Rosales.
It is located in Northwestern Mexico. It is bordered by the states of Sonora to the north, Chihuahua and Durango to the east (separated from them by the Sierra Madre Occidental) and Nayarit to the south. To the west, Sinaloa faces Baja California Sur across the Gulf of California.

Sinaloa's culture is framed by its indigenous roots. Although the arrival of the Spanish transformed Mexican society, many aspects of the ancestors of the natives survive in the modern life of this state.
This territory has a soil rich in natural resources: it has coasts, valleys and mountains. There is a part of the Sierra Madre, beaches and semi-desert areas. All its geography has served as a witness to the large number of typical traditions.
Most of the culture of this region is based on its ancient indigenous culture. Their traditions originated from festivals that are celebrated.

The main economic activities of Sinaloa are agriculture, fishing, livestock breeding, commerce and industry. The products obtained from these activities are used for both local and national consumption. Sinaloa has on its license plates the image of a Tomato, as the state is widely recognized for harvesting this particular fruit in great abundance from Los Mochis in the North to Culiacan in the Central region of the state. Agriculture produce aside from tomatoes include cotton, beans, corn, wheat, sorghum, potatoes, soybeans, mangos, sugarcane, peanuts and squash. Sinaloa is the most prominent state in Mexico in terms of agriculture and is known as "Mexico's breadbasket".

I was born in the Philippines. It's a beautiful country with beautiful and hospitable people. Filipino traditional food or dishes are adobo (pork stew), pansit (noodles) and lumpia (egg rolls). My favorite holiday is Christmas. Filipinos start celebrating Christmas in September. That means you start seeing Christmas decorations and hear Christmas music starting in September. They are many family gatherings during this holiday. We also go to Church starting in the middle of December at 5 o'clock in the morning to attend mass. After mass, there are a lot of vendors selling traditional snacks or desserts such as rice cake.

I also like the fact that education is prioritized by many. Most families value higher education, so parents work hard to give their children the best possible education and future for their children. There are a lot of private, catholic, exclusive all-girls or all-boys or co-ed schools. They are very expensive, but truly help you in your upbringing and the future. There is also public schools that cater to the less fortunate, and are also pretty good because most, if not all,  teachers and administrators are disciplinarians and truly care about giving their students the best that they deserve. Truthfully, that is one of the best things that I admire in Filipinos.

I miss my country, too. My husband was also born in the Philippines, raised in California, but he has kept his Filipino values. My husband and I take our kids to visit the Philippines. My kids have been there a few times, and they always enjoy their time there because of the beautiful pristine beaches, good yet cheaper food, affordable vacations and accommodations, and they get to see their cousins from my husband's side especially at Christmas time, when we all gather and spend precious time together laughing, entertaining each other, telling stories over delicious food. Great memories indeed!
