My family is pretty big on being fair.. does that happen no.
My sister,Samantha is 23yrs young and i wanna talk about how your view on you ethnicity can take a toll on your life if you pursue the wrong way.
Your probably asking your self how can you do that?
- You look up where you came from
- You learn about the culture
- Maybe how you make that kind of food
I am 21yrs young only 2 years behind the youngest of 5. We are the only two that are true blood sisters.
Anyways, Sam and I have always being very different, she likes to fight,be right ALL of the time,even when she knows she is wrong and she will not get along with be people doesnt like just to not make a scene.
I am very happy,positive, quite when need be. But, I do wrong to i'm stubborn and like to make people see only my point of view.
Well, it all start when she was 10yrs young. She always thought my parent would pamper me more or give me the better toys or cloths. She was/is wrong we always got the same things or because she would throw a tantrum she wouldn't get anything. That's not giving me the better things i just knew how to behave and this is where it all went down hill. When we got to High School she was believed that my parent would never show up to her color guard practices,cheer leading routines and Orchestra concerts.They didnt show up to every game or concert or parade but they where there and i would know because i was there too. I ran track and played lacrosse and my dad showed up once to my track meet and they should up to the home game of my lacrosse, my sister never came.Yet It was always nice seeing her involved and not involved with the wrong people.
Since we are Puerto Rican and Cubans that came from New York. We should have an accent,speak Spanish and only make rice and bean ... HELLO! its a new age! We can be whatever we want to. I'm going to be doing a very manly job at my 116lb 4'10ness I'm going to be a woman welding and I'm very proud of that. She had a full ride to Shippensburg University because people fought and came together to get her in. She never went, she thought she wasn't going to be good enough to go. I would be so happy to get into a University but i never was accepted so i go to H.A.C.C, its not bad. She had so much focus on being "Ghetto" like a true New Yorken that she forgot about reality and how her life was going no where but down hill, She stopped going to College for nursing because she got an STD from a man that she thought was "love" for the thousandth time. Just because they say they love you doesn't me anything until the prove that they love you. She is not raising a baby boy on food stamps and assistance, with a man that doesn't even have a job or pays the bills. She works at a warehouse that pays well but not enough to raise to babies, i mean her man and her baby.
Right now, im sitting pretty. about to buy a HOUSE! i bought a brand new car in March have a wonderful man that has had a job for over 5yrs and i don't have to worry about borrowing money!
So, What im trying to say here is listen to the people around you! somethings, they do have something to say of importance and learn from othere's mistakes, don't take anything for granted you may never have a 2nd chance. Protect your self first before bringing other people into your life, if you can hardly keep your head above water don't have a baby and before you commit yourself to anyone make sure they have a good background!! and make sure they FINISHED High School!! seriously.
It's so strange how two people with the same blood in their veins can be so different--I think that all the time!
