Culture
By: Spencer Reggish

American culture is a way to express yourself and your family. This is different for all people because different cultures came to America and different people also came so the country of America has a huge diverse population. Some examples of culture are religion, dancing, or holiday traditions. These are examples of culture because all cultures have something different and unique traits about them. Americans do not have any special dances or dance moves, we just dance with our own style by ourselves or doing our own thing in a group. Finally culture is how someone acts, way of greeting, or just communicating.
Hard working is mostly my whole culture. My ancestors were always hard workers and told their children to do the same and it carried on to the rest of the family. This was only my dad’s side of the family and I have not that much knowledge about my mom’s but there side of the family is more easily going, but when something is important to the family or the family is in trouble both sides of the family will not be easy going or pushed around. I believe my family was Christian when they came over but I’m not fully positive. Since I am a Christian we celebrate the holidays, but do it our own way. My great grandfather, on my dad’s side, came to America so that means that side doesn’t have a bunch of generations in America. They are Ukrainian, Hungarian, and they might be part Australian because my great grandmother, they think, was from Australia. On my Mom’s side I have no idea when they came to America, but they are 100 percent Polish and that’s a fact.
