Themes!

 Themes:

           I chose the topic of sports for my memoir because sports have been part of my life since the age of 8. I had the privilege to learn how to play volleyball, basketball, baseball, track and field, and others more. Most of my family does sports. Therefore, I decided to follow them. For my ethnography I will interview and profile Magaly Lopez.  I had played volleyball and basketball professionally and I founded many benefits in sports. For example, college scholarships and monetary aid. Not only because I play sports I chose this topic but also because play sports it is healthy, and I am a lover of health. This helps us to burn calories, and at the same time have a good circulatory system. The most that interests me about sports is their discipline. Sports teach you to be responsible and organized. To be successful in sports, you must have these two qualities. An argument that I will use is that some people think that sports is a waste of time. Today, I owe my health and my good qualities to the sport. I wish that all people have the privilege of knowing the benefits that sports offers. 

For the photo essay I would like to develop a PowerPoint to explain the benefits of sports.

Two alternate choices:

Food: How Puertorican foods are different from Americans.

•             Species we use as opposed to Americans

•             Difference in how people cook the same food.(before and now)

•             Which of the two meals (Americans or Puertorican) is more healthy

•             Typical dishes from both countries

 Family: How big families were in Puerto Rico.

•             How many children my grandfather had.

•             Why he had so many children

•             Why people don’t like big families (now)

•             Articles of my ancestors which can support my thesis. (family photos)

I chose to talk about these three themes and include my culture because my culture is a very broad topic for me. I hope you guys learn a little about me and my culture, and at the same time let me know about yours. I have been here for 1 year and I have a little knowledge about the cultures of this country.
