In this blog, you will discover that I am a dreamer and I do what I want. I was born and raised to be independent and to be who I am. I can attribute these qualities to the places I've been and my family, the one I'm born to and the one I've created.
My cultural artifact is just a small stone turtle. No, he hasn't been passed down from generation to generation, but this little turtle of mine has been everywhere I have. It started off as me being a small child and just having to take my cute little "toy" everywhere we went, and since he's so small, my mom never objected. As I got older and went farther, it was just a habit to throw my turtle in whatever bag I was taking. So this little guy has been to Mexico numerous times, in the oceans, on islands, on airplanes, at ski resorts, on roller coasters, everywhere in the world. Not only has he been with me places physically, he's been chilling when I'm changing who I am and discovering who I want to become.
In a way, he represents my family because my family has never left my side. They have stuck with me through all my worst moments and terrible decisions and life choices I have made. They have been most everywhere I have been and some of the people I consider my family aren't even from the same country or speak the same language, but they are solid and that's family: they don't leave when things get too hard.
