My mother and I decide together what we are going to make for dinner. As a women, in my culture the girls of the house have to help the mother with cooking and doing chores. My mother and I usually make Mexican cuisines. Once the food is ready we call everyone to come and eat at the family table. In my house we are used to eating homemade food most of the time. Usually Sunday’s is when we eat fast food. During dinner my family and I talk about what is going through our life and how is school or what we going to do the other days of the week.

The wake is more like a social event. There is times when people have not seen each other for a long time and that is where they reunite after a long time. There is food served in the wake. The family rituals are that they held a mass in a church. The casket with the deceased is there while the family members are close to the casket. The body then is taken for burial.Cremenations are not an option for my culture.At the burial extended families and friends accompanied the immediate family to watch the deceased get buried. The beliefs that I have is that when a person passes away he or she is moved onto another phase of life. Their loved one become a spirit and are watching above to their loved
