Erick

My name is Erick. My name comes from my sister, she just thought it was a pretty name and that's how I ended up with it. The Name "Erick" means ruler of all or eternal ruler. I like the name but I don't think the definition suits me well because I don't think of myself as a leader. A visual representation of my name would be a skull because people tell me when they see a skull they think of me because of my rings.

Caballo Dorado

A song that relates to me is El payaso del Rodeo by Caballo Dorado because although I don't necessarily listen to this music, every time my family attend a party, gathering, quince, etc I hear this song. This relates to my cultural identity because my family has been listening to this music for a very long time.

Korn

Another song that relates to me is Clown by Korn because this song is one of my personal favorites. This is the type of genre of music I usually listen to but this song sticks out to me because of the beat and the layout. My brother had introduced to Korn and the both of us love listening to the band

Baleadas

Baleadas reflect who I am because they are a dish that comes from Honduras. Both of my parents and grandparents are from Honduras so we have been eating Baleadas for a very long time time now. My mom always prepares this dish for my family so I always eat Baleadas.

Huevos Con Weenie

Huevos con Weenie relates to my family culture because my family has always had it. My mom has always made this dish for me since I was a baby and my grandma has also made it for my mom. We have it almost everyday and for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Family History

My ethnicity is Hispanic American and I get this from my parents. My parents were both born in Honduras and came to America and I was born in Texas. My family lived in New Mexico for most of my early childhood and than we moved to California. I started school in Long Beach and than we moved to Los Angeles when I was in the middle of 1st grade and we've been living here ever since.

Clothing

I think the style of my clothing defines my cultural identity because I wear casual clothing and most it comes from my family. Especially my older brother because a lot of my clothes come from him. I also wear a bit of accessories which comes from my mom and my grandma.

Quote

eredondo0006 — 2024-09-08 22:40:21 UTC

A quote that has special meaning to me is "A little progress each day adds up to big results" This quote has meaning to me because I'm not exactly a fast learner and it takes time for me to learn things. This is why whenever I try new things i see a little progress each day but eventually it will lead to big things.

Hero

The person who inspires me the most is Kurt Cobain because his words, music, and personality is very inspiring to me. Kurt is a prime example of being yourself and not caring of what others think and he inspires people to be unique. I also think Kurt is one of best musicians out there and his music has helped me move on.

Family Folklore

One of the tales I've heard from family folklore is La Llorona and its a story for when this women's husband cheated on her and out of grief she drowned the children she had with him. Out of guilt she than proceeded to drown her self right after. Now her spirit haunts innocent children by drowning them in bodies of water.

Hobbies

eredondo0006 — 2024-09-08 23:03:18 UTC

One of my favorite hobbies is playing guitar. I like playing the guitar in my free time because it is very calming to me and also very fun. I have been listening to guitar music for a very long time and I have only been playing guitar for almost 2 years now and this was due to my brother when he first introduced me.

Holidays

eredondo0006 — 2024-09-08 23:06:48 UTC

My favorite holiday is Christmas because me and my family always celebrate the holiday every year. We always decorate the house and we always have a gathering with family members. I also love the vibes the holidays bring.
