Hispanic Heritage Month: What is your favorite part about your culture?

We talked to Hispanic NSU students on campus, asking:

What is your favorite part about your culture?

“My favorite part about my culture is probably the likewise personalities of all Cuban people. It’s not just the food but the dancing. We’re all very outgoing and it’s just really awesome.”

Lucas Prieto, freshman
Business management major.
“My favorite part about my culture is definitely having different traditions. I am Dominican and Colombian, so being able to see the differences and similarities in both is really unique, and I would say these traditions, as they are mainly seen during the Christmas time with the music we listen to and the food we eat.”

Daniela Guzman, sophomore
public health major.
“My favorite part about being Puerto Rican is being able to go back to the island and share traditions like our parades, and being able to do parrandas for Christmas. Also being able to share that with other individuals that are in our community.”

Eryn Peña, junior public
health major.
“My favorite part about my Honduran culture is how close family is. I like how family is always there for you because our culture is very collective, and we all love and depend on each other.”

Jonathan Duarte, senior
finance major.
