Around the world there are traditions for different celebrations and families. There are those \u00a0who come from varied cultures but are similar in numerous ways. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Several students have different family traditions that are celebrated throughout the year. Sophomore Sujey Solis says, \u201dSundays [my family and I] always eat dinner together.\u201d She went on to say that eating dinner with her family was one of her only traditions. \u00a0Other students like sophomore Hannah Dowell do charity work as a family tradition. She said, \u201cWell, every Christmas we look up a boy and a girl from an adopted home and we go out and buy a present for them and personally deliver it to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though America has similar holidays, other countries may celebrate on different dates. Freshmen Wilfredo Asencio from Honduras said, \u201cThe dates are different because we [Hondurans] celebrate Christmas on the \u00a024th and here they celebrate the 25th.\u201d There are plenty of different celebrations during the holidays besides Christmas. Solis said,\u201cWe celebrate el dia del Ni\u00f1o, they celebrate it the 10th of September.\u201d Just how America has Mother\u2019s Day, Honduras has El Dia del ni\u00f1o. Solis said, \u201dTeachers bring food because they celebrate it at school. That day is special because every kid is waiting because they dress well for this day.\u201d For other people, the only tradition is just to go over to visit another family member. Freshmen Aliyah Bertrand said, \u201cWe always go to my aunt’s house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since students\u00a0 celebrate holidays in different ways, their food is also different.\u00a0 Solis\u2019 families eats tacos, pastelitos,yuca con chicharron, and tajadas. These are things that we do not eat in the United States. Asencio said his family eats chicken, tamales, sandwiches, and rice with chicken. There are a variety of foods since we are all different and come from different countries. Our foods are different. Bertrand said, \u201dCorn Bread, Beef, Wild Rice, Water, Squash, Corn, and all the native American foods\u201d are foods eaten on family holidays.<\/p>\n

For some people it is hard to adapt to new things, especially a new country where they would have to start over. Asencio said,\u201dI haven\u2019t [changed] because I will celebrate the same dates like in Honduras. I\u2019m fine with how they celebrate I can\u2019t do anything about it to change it.\u201d For celebrating Christmas Solis said, \u201cI think that I would have to adapt to here because over in Honduras they do fireworks. Here they are not allowed. It\u2019s more crazy than here, a lot more fun. It doesn\u2019t affect me because change doesn\u2019t hurt anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
