When I was born my mom didn’t really have a problem picking my name because she already had it in mind. She agreed that my name should come from the bible. From this girl named Sarah. My name has the meaning noblewomen or princess. I feel like my name doesn’t really fit me that much cause I don’t give off princess vibes. I like my name cause it's a really pretty name and where my name came from she is really pretty women. But I will say my name does have some kind of culture in it which is from the bible, She is the wife of Abraham or the father of Judaism. I also picked that picture for my name because that is my all time favorite princess and shes from Disney.

The song is a song I learned from my mom when she would play this on the radio when I was younger, That was the first time I ever heard about jazz and I fell in love with it. This song reminds me of just following your dreams or just dreaming about the future. Because I used to dream a lot when I was younger I wanted to be a lot of things like a singer or a scientist but I don't think those things benefit me now because I have new dreams to follow. Even after all that meaning I just think this song is just a really calming song to just vibe too.

"It ain't easy to be alone with a dream, a silly old dream."

This next song is like a really calming Song I like. It gives me memories of my favorite video game when I played it, the first time I played it was with my best friend harmony we would play this game late at night and dance to the song together. I feel like this song is just about to relax and see the world through a bright side, Thinking that not everything could be bad. It's honestly a really comforting song I like and I feel like it belongs to me and my best friend because it connects us both back to that beautiful moment.

"Be part of the world around you, driving a car by the seaside, watching the world from the bright side."

Pozole Rojo is my all time favorite that my grandma makes, she usually makes them once in a while (on holidays) which makes it so special. I love how her cooking tastes because it makes me feel so comforted and loved.

Beans and rice with a tortilla is also my favorite because when I was younger and still now I love my grandma's cooking even if it's plain and simple, her food will always be good.

Part of my cultural Identity is my Ancestry. My Grandma is from Seminole and the history from those roots come from the Seminole tribe, the black Sminoles served as militiamen and Native American fighters in Mexico, where they became known as mascogos.

I usually wear baggy stuff like, for example, Baggy hoodie,Baggy shirts, Baggy jeans, sweatpants etc. I usually wear baggy stuff because it feels really comfortable and comforting. I also wear jewelry silver or gold, it doesn't matter. Usually on a good day when I'm feeling stylish I wear this stuff.

My style represents my culture because back in the 1990s African Americans created the style “Baggy Clothing” and it basically became popular.

“If we as a people realized the greatness from which we came we would be less likely to disrespect ourselves.”

This quote comes from a man named Marcus Garvey and this quote is special to me because it made me recognize my own heritage. and it made me understand the importance of one's heritage and the responsibility it carries for self-respect and self-worth.

My hero is my Best Friend Harmony. She encourages me to do stuff that she thinks I'm a little good at and some stuff that I'm not good at. She inspires me a lot because everything she does is perfect. She's amazing at everything. She is a good influence in my life by making me feel better when I'm sad and steering me away from the stuff that's bad for me. She doesn’t go to the same school as me but she still has this aura to make me feel like I'm wanted even when she's not here. She is a superhero to me for all she has done for me. The reason I picked that photo is because it's my favorite duo from my favorite video game.

One story I heard in my family was La Llorona, my uncle told me when I was younger saying when he used to live in mexico he was walking home from the store when he was younger and heard some wailing or singing and he said the wailing was coming closer and closer to him to he ran home. Now that I think about it when I was younger that sounded a lot scarier then it does now.

One of the hobbies I really enjoy are video games. Video games are a thing in my family and I probably got it from my mom cause she used to play black ops 3 (a shooting game) and she taught me how to play it when I was younger. Now that I'm older I play a lot more video games then when I was younger and played none.

I would say I was taught about religion, which was christianity and that there is an All seeing God. I would have to pray, worship, and respect him. I honestly do believe in it. And I feel like it does relate in my culture because it's been passed down and everyone in my family worships him.
