My culture is important to me because without it I would never be special .That's why being with your culture matters within every day life because that's who you are. My families in Ecuador celebrate some holidays but the most important one they celebrate is Christmas and new year because they get gifts from cousins and they party all night and they get together. My best moment in my life is when my baby sister was born. I've had some good things and bad things in my life but that's ok because my parents are always there for me when i have a problem.

I speak English and Arabic. I immigrated to Queens, New York when I was 8-years-old. My family all came from Egypt. My culture is important to my identity because it made me believe in myself and made me accomplish my dreams with the help of my mom and dad. I celebrate Ramadan and Eid. In Ramadan we fast for 30 days. We can eat but only at the night and the time changes everyday. Eid is a mark of the end of the holy month of Ramadan. We also get money, gifts, food and go to different places on Eid. 
When I immigrated to New York I became a better person and I learned things that I never thought I would. Now I understand the customs, traditions and the norms of the Untied States as well. ]]> 2021-05-17 14:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jcuriale/u55j0idc1vuk7ctr/wish/1531471197 https://padlet.com/jcuriale/u55j0idc1vuk7ctr/wish/1531527282 2021-05-17 14:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jcuriale/u55j0idc1vuk7ctr/wish/1531527282 https://padlet.com/jcuriale/u55j0idc1vuk7ctr/wish/1531575568   Hi!
