It's hard being mixed between two races and maybe more because you don't know what side to take. I guess if I dated it back I'm from Europe just like everyone else but it's harder than that in today's society. I don't know how to explain I am Spanish but everyone thinks if you are Spanish you must be Mexican and illegal well I am not I'm Puerto Rican and legal or do I take my mother's side and am white and just try to fit in the white society.

I try to incorporate both races. I sorta celebrate Spanish holidays as well as white holidays. But it's still hard to tell people when they ask what race are you? And you just stare at them with a blank face trying to decide what are you going to be today. Will you be a white and everyone thinks you are either a prep or a misunderstood teen or Spanish when everyone thinks you're Mexican and illegal.

Sometimes I don't know what to put on tests when they ask for my  race. I know of I put Spanish I will get scholarships just for being Spanish but when they see me will they think I'm white and lying or when I don't speak Spanish as well as I should. So how do I bring both heritages in my life. I honestly don't know how I would be true to both or just stick to one.

What is the third option would be a mix a both. I can celebrate American New Years on its holiday and celebrate  the Puerto Rican tradition like washing my sins into the ocean on a cool June night. But also have my own thing something that symbolizes me but I honestly don't know what that is.

I don't think there is a third category. I think life is just the way it is and there's no stopping it.
