FAMILY+BACKGROUND

These different backgrounds have helped to shape my customs, traditions, and values, which I will share as the course progresses.

 * Whether a natural born citizen of the United States, or that of another country, we all have ancestors whose history can be traced back to a variety of cultures. As for me, I am a first-generation American on my father's side, since he was the first in his family to emmigrate from England to the US when he was 32. On my mother's side, I am a second-generation American, since her mother immigrated here from England also, and her father came from Germany.
