It follows from the day of the Cry of Dolores (El Grito de Dolores), on September 15. It is sort of like the 4th of July for the United States.]]> 2017-03-22 16:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892255 aubreys3825 https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892261 My mom's side of the family is from the country of Mexico.]]> 2017-03-22 16:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892261 aubreys3825 https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892511 My mom's father was the first person to come to the United States and his name was Ramiro Nuñez.]]> 2017-03-22 16:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892511 aubreys3825 https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892708 2017-03-22 16:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892708 aubreys3825 https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892949 The push and pull factors for my family were to provide the children with a better life for example, education and jobs, and that is what the United States had to offer. ]]> 2017-03-22 16:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161892949 aubreys3825 https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161893205 Ingredients: 2 cups of whole milk, 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, 4 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such a Lindt, chopped, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, smallest pinch cayenne pepper,  and long cinnamon sticks for stirrers

I also learned that the Mexican culture is similar to the American culture in many ways by their celebrations. They share similar holidays and celebrate their own in sort of the same way. Another thing I learned is the difference in money. I never realized how big of a difference the value was between countries. From my family, I learned the value of children education. They showed how they would risk it all for more opportunities. Something else i learned the Mexican National anthem is about a call of war. The national anthem is called the Himno Nacional Mexicano. This means the Mexicans at the call of war. It was first used in 1854. Although, it was not actually adopted until 1943. The anthem contains ten stanzas and a chorus. It was composed by a poet named  Francisco González Bocangera. Francisco González Bocangera wrote the anthem after a Federal contest in 1853. But I learned the anthem was not officially used until September 16, 1854.]]> 2017-03-22 16:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161894233 aubreys3825 https://padlet.com/aubreys3825/iigmlab37in7/wish/161895109 In Mexico, their rite of passage is a quinceañera which is a big birthday celebration for a girl when she turns 15 to welcome her into adulthood.
