Being Italian is an important aspect of my life. It isn’t just a background for me; it’s a way of life. What I love most about my culture is that family is the first priority over everything. I was taught that as a child, and live by it in my everyday life. Outside of school, work, and my social life I always go home to my family. But when I say family I’m not just talking about my parents and siblings, I’m talking about all my Zio’s, Zia’s, cousins, and grandparent’s (Nonno and Nonna) which total up to be over 80 people. Imagine how many functions I have to attend every year! But I wouldn’t change it for the world. Our enormous family keeps on growing, and as new generations come along they will learn the same values I was taught as a child. I am grateful for the family God has blessed me with and the traditions and values will live on through me and future generations.
Grazie e Arrivederci!
