Never Forgotten

Coke, Mexican food, a soccer ball... These are all things that greatly represent my heritage. Every year I visit my family in Mexico and these three things are the things I see the most during my visit, and not only on my visit but at home too. I was born into a family that holds a special place for these things in their life. I've lived surrounded by these things all my life. When I think about coke I think about my brother and my father. Not a day would go by without having a sip of it for them. Coke was almost as natural to drink as water was to them. As for Mexican food, it's what I've eaten nearly everyday up to now. I remember playing soccer with my family in my early childhood. It was more than just a sport to my brother and father. It was like some sort of religion to them. All these things, the coke, the Mexican food, and the soccer ball are beautiful memories that form part of my heritage. I will never forget them.
