Everything I do and plan revolves around my family: it is the most important aspect of my life. They are responsible for who I am today, they taught me to believe in God, that family always comes first, that education is the key to a successful life and that I should always be happy with what I have. All my beliefs and values ​​revolve around these concepts, I hope being part of a diverse society has made me a better person and have a greater understanding of others. My values ​​and beliefs come from a combination of what my parents instilled in me and what I have come to learn over the years. I was born into a very conservative family and most of my opinions come from them. I like to think I am open minded towards other cultures and races, I support equality for all, it doesn't matter if you are gay/lesbian or your skin color is different from mine, I believe we are all the same. I believe in God, but I don't limit myself to thinking that "my God is the only God" I also try to understand other religions. I lived for ten years in a country where I had no contact with other cultures, the first time I came to the United States it was really difficult for me to adapt but one of my peers made everything easier for me. The other part of my values ​​and beliefs comes from living in a country where there are people from all over the world, understanding other cultures and races, is what sets you apart from others. Knowing how to speak different languages, knowing the customs that others practice, are tools you use to improve yourself. My goal is to finish my degree in two/three years and start working straight away. My dream is to volunteer in a country in Africa or Asia or go back to Honduras and teach for a year and... middle of paper... flat. The teacher made sure that it wasn't just about the food, but that we understood the importance and value that the dish had in our culture, and at the same time we learned more about our culture. The only downside my teachers' colleagues found was that the students would have been more interested in eating the one in the explanation. In some cases the activity is more about children having fun and sharing their culture with their classmates. It is guaranteed that the child will learn even if the mother is the one washing the plate as the children have to explain the dish. Therefore the child will have to know what mother is preparing and why. I have seen this activity in many elementary schools and even high schools. It's a great way for children to begin to understand not only their own culture but also that of their classmates.
