"Who Am I?"

Ha ha. Well my name is Jonathan Garcia and I am an 18 year old freshman at Azusa Pacific University. I am Mexican-AMerican and have lived in the United States all my life on the account that I was born here. More specifically, I was born and raised in San Bernardino, California, 20 minutes away from APU. In terms of the question of who I am, I personally believe that my ethnicity makes me who I am and why I act the way I act.



MExican is my Tradition and American is my Culture. My parents were born in Guadalajara Mexico and the immigrated here 20 years ago. Luckily I was born here and I am glad of it. At home, I eat and love Mexican food and listen to alot of Spanish Music and even attend a Spanish Speaking cHURCH. I've always worked to help the hispanic people and I am totally in love with my the traditions. At home I speak spanish and am in love with the Mexican Culture.

America is my culture... I am a fruit of my generation and well I am an American. I love baseball, I love starbucks, I love English!!! I love my style of clothes, my everything that is America. I love the United States, I love our freedom, everythin!!! The American culture is who i am.

God also makes me what I am! Knowing that Christ died in the cross for me makes me who i am. My Christian Faith is important to me as well and it makes me understand why i am here not only in this world but at Azusa Pacific University.
