However, there is nothing more refreshing and fun than having families gather to renew family ties, enjoy sumptuous meals, sing, dance and just have fun! For many African-American families in Florida including mine, summertime is the perfect period for family reunions because it is quite easy for a whole family to travel when the young ones are on holidays from school.

    437 Words  | 2 Pages

    I had the grand honor of being born into a culturally diverse family. Although Dominican culture dominates our customs, we are 25% Middle Eastern from Lebanon, and 25% Spanish from Barcelona, Spain. The cultures have all laced into each other in such a way that I find it utterly ordinary to eat Arabic food while listening to Dominican music while serving Spanish desserts. My parents came to America at around the age that I am now, met each other, and my mom had my first sister at 18 while my father was 22. My mom went back to high school to finish her GED while my father enrolled in an institution that he never got around to finishing because his english was not well.
