How do my tastes define who I am? This is a very smart question that every single person connects to. I consider myself to be a different person from most of the college students today. Other than being a young mother, many of my tastes define my attitudes of who I am. Several things such as the things I wear reflect who I am. Before my reflections I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a Hispanic young mother who loves to go out and dance and spends lots of time in the park. I love Spanish music, and if I am ever seen in a club then it must be Spanish music. Most of my friends are older of age and most of them have kids already, which lead me to the point that I am not like most young college students today.
Now that I told you a little bit about myself I would like reflect on the tastes that define who I am. I am still a young girl which set me on the ship of being on “style”. I am not picky with clothes, but I like to look nice. I usually listen to Spanish music and I hate new R&B music or any new music that young people think its “cool”. When it comes to television shows, I guess I can rely on many different subjects. I watch cartoons with my daughter, sports with my husband and soap operas with my mother. I am just using the general lesson of the world and what’s on TV.
I came to like many of these things because this is what I always wanted to do. The music came from young age, but I was always listening to whatever was a good style of the young. Eventually I met my husband and he loves the same music I do. Which was great because I can finally listen to Spanish music without being embarrassed that I did not like what most of my friends did. Other than the music everything else came with the age and the different circumstances I was placed on by destiny itself. It was more of a matter of choice and desire, rather than a force.
I think many people in the world are happy on what reflects their personality and themselves. However, some people hide many things and what is really being reflected is the story they want to be played out. In my case I am straight out with the world and the way I am. I make everything reflect who I am and what I like. I lost any interest in having people being interested with me because I am happy with myself and with who I am. Most of all I believe most of my reflections define me as a young happy and interested person who is motivated in moving forward in the world.

2. Like you, I am a young mother, I am not married but I am a mother of a two year old little boy and I think you are right, it does kind of set us aside from the rest of college students. I think that a big part of that is because most of the time when people have kids when they are young they think that they can’t do anything anymore because of it. It is hard and there are a lot of responsibilities and difficulties that come with having little ones and still pursuing your education and your career but it can be done, as we both know. I agree with you that what I wear and the things that interest me portray who I am and the people that try to hide and be something or look like something they are not, are not only trying to fool the world but fooling themselves as well. I think that everything and anything that people like sets them aside from everyone else, nobody has exactly the same interests as you and nobody can say “I am just like her!” Which, I think, is a good thing. Being unique in your own way and loving your life is what it’s all about. If everybody walked around talking the same way, dressing the same way, acting the same way, and liking all the same things there would be no variety in the world and everything would just be monotonous.
