Back to my Roots

I don't know if anyone has seen the movie Real Women Have Curves starring America Ferrera from Ugly Betty. If you haven't I recommend it. It is a good movie. But it makes me think about Mexico.

I haven't been in such a long time, since I was going to my senior year at high school and that was in 2001, so it's been almost six years since I've gone. But that movie makes me want to go. I want to go experience the sights and the smells. I love the way the food tastes, I love the way everyone acts and there's a sense of home coming when I go.

Sometimes I think I act to American, and I feel like I'm forgetting my roots. I need to do more to remember where I come from and follow the traditions of my Mexican roots. I want to go again, but I think it will be a while yet before I get to go.

Honestly, sometimes I wish my family had never come to the US but that we had stayed in Mexico, I can only imagine how different I would be, how different my life would be if I hadn't come to the US when I was six. Its amazing how someone else's decision can affect your whole life.

There's no place like home......
