//__**Hispanic Heritage "Why Do We Keep It Alive?"**__//

Hispanic heritage.. extremely important to America, our lives, and some of our family. This essay is for a class project, yet it goes much deeper then that. This is something Hispanics have worked for, earning their rights and gaining respects of their cultural values and what they brought with them. That is my first subject: Hispanic's famous inventions, new food, the new jobs and hobbies, and clothing they brought to us. Imagine what we wouldn't have if we didn't have Hispanics, no tacos, no sombreros, and no music that came to us by Hispanics! Our country just wouldn't be the same. Luckily President Barack Obama sees what I see and what thousands of others see, that Hispanics are a very important part to our county's life.

My first subject, Hispanic's famous inventions, new food,the new jobs and hobbies, and clothing they brought to us. Hispanics have brought many things like food. At first when Americans have let Hispanic be with and live with them, they did not like the Hispanics way of eating. Then came along Glen Bell, who brought along the taco to America! At first they thought it was gross and to spicy so they changed the flavoring and it became less spicy. When he opened the first ever Taco Bell everyone loved them! That is a very good example of how many people change. Hispanics have always wore the same things (in their own country but changed a little when they came to America). They do still wear their fascinating clothing. The girls usually wear long tethered dresses with beautiful colors and on their heads they wore tall straw hats (a sombrero). Men also wore sombreros but they also wore tight tethered shirts with tight tethered shorts that had long stripes of colors. Hispanics brought to us many many hobbies like, ways of fishing, new sports, and learning how to speak Spanish.

My second subject is how Hispanics have played a good part in government. For example, Marco Rubio, a republican for the state of Florida (Monster). Marco Rubio is the anti-tax, small-government conservative who was elected as a U.S. senator from Florida in 2010. Marco Rubio's parents left Cuba in 1956, a few years before Fidel Castro took power. The family settled in Miami, where Marco Rubio was born in 1971. Now look at the courage now and then that Hispanics went through, He announced on 13 April 2015 that he would run for president in 2016! So they have gone through a lot. Even slavery just to take part in our country! Hispanics have been punished and kicked out of America coming from other countries, just so they can be sent back into war and poverty (Unauthorized Immigrants ). They run for government because they are just like us, they are always helping, for instance, out of all the senators in the U.S alone, 37% of them are Hispanic! That is a very big number! (Fact Monster)

I've made it to my third subject, still not impressed, well, you should be! Hispanics have made it longer then most other cultures into our country. There is a reason we accept them into our country, not slavery, not food, not wants, but for the more important part, family. Many of my class mates for instance have a lot of Hispanic background. I myself am not Hispanic but I love to take part in Spanish class. I try to my best in that class because when I get older, I want to play soccer and I have to know how to speak different languages when I'm out of my own country. Something that shocks me, even though all the good in Hispanic backgrounds, they are still getting kicked out of our country when they try to get in. When they do get in few houses are built and they are starving on the streets (Cuba facts and Culture). If you haven't gotten the message, this subject is on who they are all around us. Less and less are coming to this country and are turned down. We really need to help our heritage and let them into our country. They have even been beaten for trying to enter our country alone.

I hope I have made myself clear. Hispanic heritage is extremely important to our lives. They have played a crucial part to our food, government, clothing, and the way we live. We also thrive off of our families heritage. They came and have never left us. They have played big parts in government, food, hobbies, jobs, sports, games, clothing, and some of our families greatest stories and ancestors. I'm going to leave this off with a question and an answer. My answer to my essay's question: Why do we need to keep Hispanic heritage alive, because if we don't, our country won't function. Now the question, why do //you// think we should keep Hispanic heritage alive?
