Welcome all to this weeks addition of Sierra's Weekly Sayings! For this weeks blog post, I will be talking about my Families heritage. My grandmother tells me about my families heritage all the time. I know that I am mostly Irish and Polish-American. My great-grandmother was Irish and my great-grandfather was Polish. They both met each other during World War II when my great-grandfather was stationed in a town in Ireland that my great-grandmother lived in. They fell in love and escaped to the US to fine a better life to raise their family. They later had my grandma, then my grandma met my grandpa in California. They eventually had my Uncle then my mother. I do not know much about my Grandpa's parents other than that they are from Ohio. I think that my families heritage is very important. It makes me who I am. The memories that I have made thus far in my life that are related to my families traditions and heritage are some of my favorite memories to keep. I will always remember how my grandma and I would make polish perogies. It one of my favorite foods today to make and enjoy. My family also never skips St. Patrick's Day. If you do not wear green on St. Patrick's Day then you will be shunned for the day from my family. We are very serious about it. These things define me and my family as people and what we believe in and choose to celebrate about the world. To us, our heritage and traditions are very important. It makes my family unique in its own way and I love that.
