One of the biggest things that makes up my culture is the generation that we live in. In this time period, there is so much technology around us that has changed the way that we live, work, and function. It has improved our society, as well as hurt it. But in the end, we can see how our generation is unique compared to others in the past.

Something that makes up my culture is my fashion choices and what they represent. Personally, I mostly wear plain athletic t-shirts with sweatpants. But every Friday, I wear my Hinsdale South Band Hoodie with my last name printed on the back of it. Hinsdale South is unique, and I would not have that special hoodie if I were born in a different location.

Something that makes the United States what it is are the geographical locations that are home to many tourists across the world. The Grand Canyon is an amazing location in Arizona that attracts many people yearly. Yellowstone national park in Wyoming is also an amazing place to people to visit. These are just a couple of geographical locations that make up our culture and the United States of America.

There are many foods in the world, and my preference of foods makes up my culture. This is because there are foods that are more prominent in different parts of the world. Some foods that I really enjoy is steak and Alfredo (Along with other types of pasta). It is important to have a variety of foods so that you can get a taste of different parts of the world.

Something that makes up my culture is my education at Hinsdale South high school. There are many classes now and classes in the future that helps me improve upon my intelligence. Being in honors band allows me to practice my instrument while working harder to get there. Being in AP psychology next year will allow me to get a challenging class and get collage credit for in the future.

Family is something that is very important to me. They make up who I am as a person, and adds to my culture as well. I have a sister, and I would say that we get along fairly well (But all siblings can't get along all the time!) I also have extended family that I care about a lot, and I would not be the same if they were not there.

Religion is a very important part of my culture. I am catholic, and attend church weekly. Confirmation was the peak in my catholic journey because it determines that I am a catholic person and am part of god. I had a sponsor, which was my neighbor, and he meant a lot to me.  It felt good after confirmation in eighth grade, and I felt like a new person. In the US, there are a lot of christian's, which could be why I'm the religion that I am.

An important part of my culture is my electronics. One of them is my headphones, which are the Bose QuietComfort 35 II. These headphones are noise cancelling, so it does a great job of blocking out noise when I'm in crowded areas. These are part of my culture because 1, they play everything that means the most to me in audio: Music, videos, and phone calls. Also, it is important that these are noise cancelling because we live in a society that is so crowded that we need to get away from everyone once in a while.

An important part of my culture is my clarinet that I have been playing ever since Fourth grade.  It is fun to make music by myself and with a band by playing the clarinet. The clarinet is part of my culture because our band program in the community of Darien is amazing, which helps me to continue to love band as much as I do now. The community invests in the band program, which integrates music into our education.
