“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others” - Cicero. Regardless of differences in race, age, religion, socioeconomic status, and geographic location, humans remain alike: the potential for gratitude exists amongst all. The majority of people fail to realize so much exists to remain thankful for. Every individual may have something different to show thanks for and this could vary from region to region. When one thinks about what someone in a first world country has in common with a third world country, there isn’t much that comes to mind.…

From the door in it’s a whole new world; I called it a whole new world because it is towards me. The United States culture differs from the southern and central American culture by how we respect our elders, value of education, and our traditional foods. An example, will be in the United States where in the majority of the youth have a “ticket” to disrespect older people, “if you don’t respect me, I won’t respect you”. While in my household you respect no matter what.…

When I was a little kid, around 3 years old, I found out my parents were going to get divorced, to this day i do not know the reason for this divorce. At first, i did not know what to think of it because I did not know what it meant. When people were explaining it to me I just thought it meant my parents were just going their separate ways to come back together later on. But when I started living with my mother and only seeing my father on the weekends and any other holiday, It all started to make sense, I was quite shocked when it actually hit me because I always thought my parents were always happy with each other and even if they get into small fights they solve it in the end and start being a happy family again, but real life is not a…
Not everyone has been lucky enough to have a loving family.
