Essay: "Celebrations"

by Jose Zuniga

Life in itself is a joyful celebration because without it nothing would exist. I personally like celebrating Meso American and Hispanic American folklore related festivities because it is something I hold close to the heart, and as a kid born in the United States of America, I grew to like Independence Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving with Christmas in tow. At best I would say Veteran's day is most memorable and celebrated with pride because a soldier's sacrifice of his life for the greater good of his country and family is deserving of a celebration by all. There is greater detail to all these things people celebrate in America, but I can only express my opinions on them, for it has taken me a while for me to wake up from my cloud in the sky and see things clearer for what they truly are, 'a blessing.'
