My Mexican heritage is definitely a big part of my life and has made me who I am today. Even though I grew up here in Utah, where things are very different as I have learned from my mother who is always telling me about how life is in Mexico, I still feel a strong connection to Mexican culture, it is a big part of who I am today, based on things such as my values.

I have always felt that in Mexican families, especially in mine the bonds formed between one another are very strong and that its one of the biggest values in our culture. My family will always be important to me along my life.

Both of my parents have very artistic minds and are skilled when it comes to drawing, so I feel that that passed on to me and both my sister because we both have very creative minds and took on the art of drawing or painting. But I feel that art is definitely a big part of my life its something where I can feel relaxed and let go of stress and be creative in my own way.

For me personally I don't think my gender has affected certain aspects of my life much. I've always had support from my family to pursue my dreams.

There's many recipes that are passed down through my family mostly from my great grandmother to my grandmother and then to my mom then to me. Cooking with my family is a very important part of my culture for me, I feel that it brings us closer together. And even though I am vegetarian and most meals include a lot on non-vegetarian parts, I can always switch between on ingredients but still keep the recipe.
