Cultural Identity In Guatemala

Cultural identity: I always live as a Guatemalan for the last 15 years, it was hard when I had to move from my country to another that was very different than mine and find out that in this new country is a different languages and different cultures. Maybe for the first time that I was walking to the school, I feel like I was in Guatemala people with the same skin color as me, but when I heard them talked I heard a new word, different accents and I realized that everything was chance.

Notwithstanding it was my first day at the school, I felt rarely. My aunt took me to my first hour because I was lost. This school is the double of my school in Guatemala, I remember the first teacher that I met her name is Ms. Brunelle. When I was there I heard that the whole guys in that class were talking in Spanish something that make feel do comfortably. Then the teacher told me where my chair was then I took a seat. Someone who was next to me asked me, de que parte de Mexico eres? I was like confused because I’m not from Mexico. I replied, no soy de México soy de Guatemala. He laughs and told me, pero si tienes el nopal en la frente, something that I didn’t understand at that moment. Later on that day, the same guy heard

The most important for me is that all Latinos are Mexicans. I don’t know why the people will think about this because is stupid to think about it. Our culture is huge in the United States. This country was made for different cultures like Italian, Mexicans, Puerto Rican, etc. it’s annoying when they say that all of us are the same because it doesn’t the matter that our skin is the same our tradition, our accents are different. In my opinion the people that judge us they are just afraid of us because we are different but, we still being humans, we feel like they feel. I’m a Guatemalan and I am always going to be proud of
