Blog journy #2
Hello, my name is Pedro Jimenez and this is my blog.
I decided to interview my mother and asked her what her family tree looked like. My Grandmother was born in Ecuador on April 23, 1943. My Grandfather was born in Ecuador on August 30, 1946. My mother was born in Ecuador on March 14, 1970. My father was born in Ecuador, January 28, 1963. I was born in Ecuador as well, on June 13, 2002. My dad, he's an architect painter and always was involved with art, and interested him a lot. it's me who I also love art and enjoy everything about it, which in the end got me interested in art as a living. On my mom’s side, they were born in Ecuador, Quevedo (which is basically a little town around the fields). On my dad’s side, they all were born in the city, Guayaquil. On my mom's side, they all are singers and enjoyed music since my Grandfather always enjoyed signing when the time came to. My father and mother were able to come to this country since my father was a citizen here in the United States since one of my grandparents was American. He lived there most of his life, yet came to Ecuador a few times a year and that’s when he met my mother, after a while, we were able to move to the United States since my father was a citizen already that made me already one and so my sister, yet my mother is a resident. My family is a low-middle class as of what I know. They also have two religions; on my mom's side it's Christianism, and on my dad's side it's full of Catholics. My ethnicity at least played a big role in religion, as of where I lived everyone was a catholic. Here in the United States I see a lot of Hispanics at least I don't feel that left out, yet my native language adds an accent to the language in the U.S. which is English. As a Hispanic in the U.S. I’m a minority, yet one of the biggest ones in this country. I at least when I came, I felt lost mentally, and socially since I didn’t know their language, nor the culture people are used to.
