Our own culture shapes the way you live and work. My culture defines how I live and how i represent the people in my culture. It also makes a difference on how you view yourselves and others. An example of my culture is a fun day where my family comes together and makes paczki. Paczki is a doughnut filled with jellies and polish jam. It affects what you condenser right and wrong, your values. Your choices can also influence others and ultimately help shape our society.This is how the society we live in influences our choices.

Poverty and prosperity have affected my life by living in Darien by having many opportunities to do many things that you might not have the choice to do in other communities. My mom was born in Poland and came here with my aunt and had to deal with poverty. Poverty has many impacts many peoples lives today. For example some people might not have a source to good education, some might have violence at home and outside at home. Now that we are in a good school district and live in a good community we have prosperity. Also, while living in Darien it has caused my family to meet new people and have more adventures.

Poverty and prosperity both make a huge impact in our world. Some family's might have more than others in your community. In some families more then other families prosperity might have more impact on more then less. While poverty is taking over more people. Poverty will make you poor, make bad choices to families that have prosperity.

Power comes from the skill that one person alone can do. Since i am underage, i do not have power alone. The people that have power over me are parents, teachers, (etc..). Power can come in many different ways. Most power comes from money, education and many more. My plan is to study in high school. Get good grades and go to a well educated college. The government is the one that has authority over many things such a students.

While growing up I would always get taught the beliefs in my family. The different beliefs have taught me that our traditions are all different then others. Now it is normal for my family to celebrate them all together on special days. Going to school has also taught me any things about values and beliefs compared to other people. Growing up and being more on social media it can also affects the way you see your beliefs due to the options you see and the way people think and what you might choose.

My family mostly talks in English, but around my grandma we talk in polish. My grandma grew up in Poland and mom grew up only talking polish in her family.
