I tried to find my blog body so I could write about their stories but going through the profiles of my class mates y found Amalia’s blog very interesting. Her story about how she grow up in a place where two very significant cultures and languages where fighting against each other to get pick by her and be the major language and culture in her life. But seem that both of them won the fight because even though Amalia speak and write more in English than Spanish, her culture and believes are about her Spanish background. I’m glad she didn’t forget where she comes from. She even has a dog that represents her as a true Mexican (which is such a cute dog by the way ).

Her history makes me wonder what could had happened if I were in that same situation. Like her, I come from a Spanish country where beautiful people and amazing cultures are in it, that is why I’m glad she never forgot her true self. While reading her blog I was asking myself question about what decisions could I had made if I were in her shoes, would had I pick my Colombians culture, speak and write either languages or just one of them.? I probably will never answer them but what I could say is that having a background and speaking the language of your parents is a beautiful thing that everybody who moved to a new country or place should keep in mind.
