My Culture

Hi! My name is Priscilla and I am from Puerto Rico. I will explain you my culture poster. The reason why I decide to make my project about my country is because my culture is from there. The things that I like or the things that I most like to do, I learned them in there. Also I like to do things in here, but I don’t know too much about Chicago because I just been here for three months.

Now I’ll explain you step by step my poster.

• Night: There I like to go to nightclubs with my friends.
• “Parrandas”: This is something very cultural in me and in my country. In some Christmas nights we usually go to some friends’ houses at 12 in the midnight or very early in the morning. We wake up them, and make a party in their houses. We enter singing very happy Christmas songs with noisy musical instruments and the owner of the house should gave us drinks.
• Sushi: We all know that this is not a cultural food from my country, but I like to eat sushi.
• Super Bowl: Next to the sushi there is a picture that I’m watching the Super Bowl with some friends.
• Goals: I always focus my mind on my goals and I like to follow me dreams.
• El Yunque: It is a forest in Puerto Rico. It is very beautiful. I like to go there and get on the rivers.
• Beach: well, my country is surrounded of water, so I do that always.
• Sports: I play Volleyball, Soccer and Basketball. Also when I was there, all the Sundays I ran on the beach. And in all the races, like the “World best 10k”, I was always there.
• Dance: That’s the most thing that I like to do. I dance Ballet, Strip Jazz, Salsa, Bachata and Merengue.
• My Family: I have a sister that is 12. Even when my parents are divorced we are very close. From my father’s family I don’t have any cousins, just one uncle and two aunts and my grandmother but from my mother I have 15 cousins, 2 uncles and 2 aunts and my grandmother. Even when we are 15 cousins we are very close, I was the only one that took the decision to come to United States.
