Culture

One of the hardest things to define. Even more when you live with two different ones at the same time. You go out and see a world that is completely different than that of which is at home. You are torn between two different worlds, societies,cultures, worlds. You can never join one side because you have the other side weighing you down. You can't be accepted. It just can't happen. You have to know Laura and Oprah. You have to know about Los tigers del Norte and about the Rolling Stones. You have to know Spanish and English and they are never perfect. But you know what? That's who I am. A person torn a apart from two different societies. That's what I love. 

Being born and growing up in America, although being at home it is like I am in Mexico, it has allowed me to connect to two diffrent worlds. I can join in on a conversation about America and pop culture here. And at the same time and maybe even the same conversation I can have a discussion about pop culture about Mexico. The only thing is that the native people of each country will never accept me for who I am.  I can never belong to one. World Cup: I get to cheer for two countries.
