My Family Tradition While preparing for this paper, I thought very hard about any specific traditions that my family has or has had in the past. Although thinking and brainstorming for a long time I could not come up with one tradition that my family has. I think that the main reason for that is because, almost everyone in my family has gone through a divorce. Ending a marriage seems to be very popular in our society today, one statistic states that, “50% of first marriages end in divorce.”

The first family tradition I want to talk about relates to the fact that I'm half Moroccan. Ever since I was a child, we would go as a family every summer vacation to Morocco. It started longer than I can remember, and it is still continued until today.

My mother's appreciation for this tradition comes from the prospective of meeting her family and friends

Traditions are so individualized and exclusive to each person or family. Traditions are basically a standard set of beliefs or customs that your family teaches you or perhaps you create and you pass down to your children. My own life has been impacted from the core due to the beliefs that my own parents have taught me. Throughout the time, I have modified some of those beliefs. Other traditions I have kept and taught my child because they hold value to my heart and society. Throughout my paper, I
reading it would seem as though the lottery that took place in the village was a family friendly tradition that had been carried on for many years.

The Family Tradition Thinking back in time when I was a little girl, I was delighted to see fall approaching. The wind whistling around the leaves, people wearing boots and drinking coco.
