Itxel & Itzamná

During the time they live there they learned more about their culture, and when they returned they noticed how many aspects of their culture was present in the United States. When her and her siblings returned they continued on with their school, and this is where she met some of her closest friends. Majority of them were hispanic but her friend’s parent were from different parts of Mexico and Latin America. Her other relations/connections were with people who had completely different cultures. Due to this my mom was introduced to different cultures.

I interviewed Matthew Vasquez about his family’s history. Matthew’s family originated from Jalisco, Mexico. His mother’s dad was the breadwinner for the family, and provided for his wife and his daughters. He was always known for being a hard worker, and due to his work ethic he was able to give his family a good life. Matthew’s mom was born in Torrance, California in the mid 1980s. At this time the city of Torrance was occupied by mostly whites, Polynesians, Asians, and in comparison there was a small amount of hispanic families. Due to the diversity many of the families that lived there were exposed to different borderland communities. The families that occupied the neighborhood where his mother grew up had different religions: some were Christians, others Catholics, and others were Jehovah witnesses. The differences that each family had played a huge role in school systems, and especially in society. As his mother grew up the most important relations she had was in Narbonne High School. She says that the friendships one had here were very diverse due to the diverse community. The food in her friend’s house was different than the one in her household, and this was perfectly normal due to the fact that the community was diverse so it was expected. However, throughout the years the neighborhood transitioned from a decent middle/high class neighborhood to a low income neighborhood, and was affected by gang violence. The transition did not have a great effect on their family because they were born to value the importance of hard work ethic that they had inherited from her father and it was something they continued to do.
