Your Identity In The 21st Century !

    The hardest question to answer, is who am I. I grew up in Staten Island, New York which is a suburban area. Throughout the years, the definition of suburban has changed. Years ago suburban was farmland, no buildings and very little traffic or noise, but today we have houses every which way you can look and tons of buildings. The amount of farmland left is slim to none. I am a middle class, fifteen year old female with a ten year old sister, Alexis, and two amazing parents. My family is of the Italian and Puerto Rican descent. I have a large family, as both of my parents are one of four. We are all very close. My family has many traditions, such as vacations and Holidays! I love to dance! I have been dancing since I was four years old with many different dance companies on Staten Island. I have done tap, jazz, lyrical and hip-hop. Music is my life! Music helps me in many different ways. When I am in a bad mood, the music I listen to can help to show my feelings, as well as help change them. I like to listen to a variety of different types of music. Ever since I was a young child, I have always wanted to grow up to be a teacher. My mother is a teacher and I have always enjoyed going to her classroom to interact with the students and play the role of teacher. My dream remains the same to this day.
