This painting is a representation of my family heritage because since I was young enough to speak, we have always been to the beach as a huge family. The beach represents happiness from all of the generations. I have heard stories passed down from generation to generation that talk about old beach trips where our family gathered and enjoyed a good time. We all go to the beach at least 2 times a year and it is our goal to visit a new beach each time we plan a beach trip. Having this family heritage is very knowledgable because you hear about all of the trips that happened and the stories that have been told there that will make memories and last a life time.

Music runs in my family. A lot of people in my family have a beautiful voice and love to sing. Some of my family sings in their church quires, school bands, and even youth singing groups. Music brings about all of the emotions, feelings, and happiness in people’s lives and it really gives them a chance to express their individuality. A lot of my family members travel to different events to sing. Not only do they sing, but some of them are so musically talented that they also play a band instrument. Music is our heart and it travels with us wherever we may go. It brings about my family and what we stand for and it definitely is a part of my family cultural heritage.

Farming in my family heritage has been around for an extremely long time. It has been passed down from generation to generation with owning farm land in Newton County, Georgia. Talking with those of who are in my family know a lot of facts and information about farming and talk about all of the old farm land that has been ours for many years and goes back to my great great grandparents property from what we can understand. Time and technology has really played a huge role within farming. Everything is starting to change and now thankfully, you do not have to work as hard with the farms and keeping them well kept compared to back in the old ages. It is not an easy job by any means, but farming is something that has been around and will continue to play a role in our every day lives.

  1. Your did good explaining how each of your options reflect your personal cultural heritage with your family and just giving a background of where you came from. I know it was cool being able to grow up on the farm with all the animals and just having all of that freedom of space, I used to love riding passed the houses with all the land and farm with the horses and cows when I went to the country, it just seemed so free. It’s good that you and your family all share something in common with the music and all being able to have different talents but share the same enjoyment of music. I also love going to the beach and I can only imagine the stories you and your family have from visiting all kinds of different beaches over the years, that’s what I’m going for when I have a family, traveling. I love going to the beach because it’s so relaxing and it’s just gives you time to enjoy the weather and reflect and count your blessings.

  2. Your pictures and descriptions were good each one showed a little more of your heritage. I strive to live on a farm when I get the money together and find some land to buy. Hope you have a great summer.

  3. You and your family sound very close. I also come from a musical family, and know how that form of art binds the family for generations. Your story is very insightful.
