Hispanic Heritage: Why do we keep it alive? Hispanic Heritage is a crucial part of people's lives because of their food, language, and sports.

Why should we keep Hispanic Heritage alive? Before I tell you why we should keep Hispanic Heritage, I should tell you what heritage is. Heritage is the traditions, achievements, beliefs, etc., that are part of the history of a group or nation. I believe that we should keep Hispanic Heritage alive. People think we should keep it alive because it doesn't play a role in their life. For other families this plays a big role in their family. We do things that Americans have adopted in their lives. Hispanic Heritage is a crucial part of people's lives because of their food, language, and sports. I hope after you hear my explanation you will believe we should keep Hispanic Heritage alive.( Wikipedia )

The first reason why we should keep it alive is because of their food. Being a Dominican I eat a lot of Hispanic food. We prefer to cook in our house than get take out because we don't only love food we also love to cook. The immigrants that came to America the same style of food they ate from where they came from. I'm going to relate this to what Americans eat for certain holidays and what Hispanics eat for holidays. Hispanic would eat something that is spicy and hot. Americans usually eat something that is smooth and soft. Making tamale and pasteles together is a popular family tradition around the Christmas holidays. Americans usually during Christmas eat ham or turkey. That examples show how different we all are in our culture and our way of living. Things we do the same are is that we both eat turkey during thanksgiving. The way this shows why we keep it alive is because we both adopt things that each of us do in our culture. If it wasn't for Hispanic some of the things we do today wouldn't be around. ( Wikipedia )

Language is another big topic why we should keep Hispanic heritage alive. A lot of words today come from a Latin root word. Think about how if Hispanic did not go anywhere how would we speak our language. In most of the schools today teach Spanish as one of their languages. If you were going to another country would you like to know how to speak their language. You can’t just assume there will always be a Spanish speaker or translator around you. Being a Spanish speaker myself in is very useful knowing a second language. Jobs may hire you just because you can translate what the person is saying over the phone. I hope you can see now why I believe language is a big topic. This can affect people’s live and even make them or break. If it wasn’t for Hispanic we would not have the language of Spanish today.

Another thing that is very important to Hispanics and Americans is sports. A popular sports in America is baseball. This is a sport that is very popular with Americans, but it is also very popular in Spanish speaking counties. In the Dominican Republic that is the number one sport everyone plays. In the World Baseball Classic the Dominican Republic was the only team ever to go undefeated. That show how hard we work to improve our game every day. That also shows the drives Hispanic are to become better or great things in their life. A sport that is popular and is making its way to America is soccer. You see all these Hispanic from different countries winning the for best soccer player. This is because this is the top played sport in Hispanics. Soccer is just starting out here in America. It is also rapidly growing. Sometime in the future this will be a very strong sport in America. This shows we should keep Hispanic heritage alive because we influence the way people like to spend their time. ( Culture of the Dominican Republic Wikipedia )

This has a very personal affect to me because I am Hispanic. If we kill it this will affect the lives of millions of people around the world. The topics that we covered are big reason why we should keep it. The three reasons why we should keep it alive is because of Hispanic food, language, and sports. I hope this essay changed your view and now see why we should Hispanic heritage alive.
