  Paragraph:  In my collage I chose a collection of images that I think represent my family as well as my heritage. I chose the Irish flag because I am 25% Irish, and the cross because I grew up in a Christian household. Because of this, we celebrate Christmas each year which matches to the nativity scene. I also wanted to focus on my family’s ideas that have passed to me. My family has always been working, if that is working in a coal mine or farming for food to live. My grandfather was the first in his family to get a college degree after he served in the United States Air Force. Auburn University has been a big part of my life growing up and still today. Because of my grandfather, I want to serve in the military as well. Overall I think that my family’s past and culture has affected my decisions even today.

 Today in American lit we sat in groups to analyze Act 1 part 2 of "Fences." We did not read it aloud for the most part, though some parts Mr Rease read aloud. The play was interesting to read. Before we left class we were assigned an assignment to do over the weekend. The assignment is about our personal heritage, we are supposed to make a college. I think it will be cool to look out and do a little more research about my family history.
