Cultural Assesment:

Okay this was a really hard assignment for me because I am not really "culturally diverse" so bear with me.....

1. Mosquitoe spray- Im from Houston so humidity and mosquitoshave always been apart of my life and my family's life. The most important items in my first aid kit are mosquito spray, benadryl and calimine lotion. Culturally I live in constant fear of west nile virus.

2. Carmel Nips- My grandma is British, she grew up in Nottingham, England and therefore I am a quarter British and these little treats just signify to me culturally how tea hour and carmel treats are a part of my hertiage and afternoons with my grandma.

3. Cross Charm- My christianity is a huge contributing factor to my culture. My whole family is full of dedicated christians and church and bible study have always influenced the culture I was raised in.

4. A longhorn angel ornament-  Ive always wanted to go to UT, and my family has been more than supportive of this idea and so to me this little angel just symbolizes my family and our culture surronding my family connected to this university.

5. Ron Paul's Revolution Book- My hertiage consists of Irish, British, Swedish and German descent therefore I check the cacuasian box on applications, and my family is very supportive of the Republican and Libertarian party and so to me this book is just the political peice of my culture.
