TRADITIONS AND MEMORIES

Traditions make up my place in my community and environment. My traditions take up space in my world. The fond memories I have from around L.A help me to connect with the city I live in. These memories spread across all of Los Angeles. Getting Arroz Con Caldo with my Ita in Boyle Heights, getting ice cream in The Arts District, and having fundraisers at a roller rink in Glendale, all these memories and traditions help me find my place in my city. The City of Angels might seem too big to leave a dent in but with all the memories and traditions spread throughout this grand city, you leave more than a dent. Millions walk the same streets, go down the same alleys, and explore the same parks I do but, I am the only one with these memories and traditions.
