Welcome back world to another weekly post of Sierra's Weekly Sayings! This week I will be talking about the dinner table. I know what you are thinking, what is so special about a dinner table? But what you do not realize is how something as simple as a dinner table can represent a families traditions and culture. My family is very American when it comes to our dinner table. My mother always cooks amazing meals whether it be American or every once in a while she will create a special polish meal for my family to eat.  We all put our phones away, and talk to each other about our day and what we did. Our dinner table is very straight forward, nothing special to it. The first time I ever had dinner that was a different culture from my own family was when I had dinner with my friend in the sixth grades family. She was Indian, so we all sat on the floor on small cushions and ate from a small square table. There are a lot of people in her family so it was fairly packed. Her mother and grandmother prepared many dishes that for me as a ten year old, were very different from what I was used to. I ate what I thought looked the best and enjoyed the meal though I did not eat much. It was a very interesting experience for me and now as I grow older I become more used to eating dinner with different cultures and traditions that are different from my own. I enjoy these experiences that I have at different dinner tables. I think that everyone should try and embrace that we are all different. I encourage everyone to try and have a dinner that is different from what you are used to. You never know what you might learn.
To end this weeks post,
"We should except diversity in culture and tradition and coexist peacefully..."
