Prompt: How important is it for you to retain your cultural foods as you move forward in life? Explain the importance and which foods you cannot live without. 

It’s very important for me to retain my cultural foods as I move forward in life. They are more than just meals they represent my heritage, family traditions, and the connection to my roots. Tacos dorados, sopes, and pozole are foods I cannot live without because they remind me of family gatherings, celebrations, and the comforting flavors that have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. These dishes hold sentimental value, and keeping them in my life ensures that my culture stays alive in my heart and in my everyday experiences.
