Who-Am-I?
"My Friends And Family" And Self-Esteem

In my family we celebrate three occasions: birthdays, "id", which is the end of "Ramadan", and "bakra id." The word means , "you must kill a sheep." We celebrate this day, cooking special food, for example couscous with meat. When there are festivities I don't meet anyone because my relatives still live in Pakistan and it is very far from here.

"During Christmas Eve, it?s a big tradition in my family for all the women (including the young ladies, ages 5 and up) to get together in my grandmother?s kitchen help make tamales for Christmas day." Priscilla , 2002 (more...)
