Puerto Rico Identity

A person’s identity is usually given by sex, age and religion but in most cases the first impression to judging someone is their culture and their nationality. Puertoricans as percepted by the world is a U.S. territory so to some Puertoricans it is an honor that we get to be known culturally as U.S. citizens but many other refuse the fact that we are us citizens that divides our nation into Pro-American culture and Pro-Puertorican culture.  Around the world we are seen as Hispanics and that includes Central American people and Caribbean people with that labels comes a lot of positive and negative criticism , externally for the world and internally as Puertoricans, internally as a culture we are known to excel at procrastinating, it is a thing we tend to do but most just embrace it, we leave everything until last moment and that has translated to the Government in a way that we as a country do not act to reach a commitment until the very last moment or until ultimately it becomes "inconvenient" to settle an agreement.  Another criticism is that Puertoricans tend to party a lot which is true but it’s relative because basically every Hispanics loves to party so it is cultural thing maybe for Russians it is not very common to party but that is just how life is and how people from different places of the world behaves according to what they have around them. Externally we are known to North Americans as Latin-Americans, to other nation as Puertoricans or U.S. citizens. I myself love Puertorican culture we are worldly famous for being the only ones known as Boricuas and for being a small island in the Caribbean with many natural attractions that other places in the world do not have like the bio-bays, the longest cave structure in the Caribbean, and the only Rain Forest in all of U.S. territory in the same island. I definitely would not change any of the experiences that I have had on Puerto Rico and am very proud to say it. Around the world there are different perspectives for example we are not perceived the same way in south America than in Australia it varies depending on what surround them and what they have know to experience culturally.

Identity

      My name is Jose Eduardo Cora Miranda, I am 21 years old and I was born in May 22 1993 at Santurce, Puerto Rico. Peculiarly I was born a on the first day of the Gemini zodiac sign which symbolizes twins, that may be a reason which actually I have a twin brother and his name is Eduardo, I have been mistaken by my brother and vice versa most of our lives but to the surprise of many my brother and I are fraternal twins so we don’t look that much alike. Being the only children in my family, the closest relative was 20 years older which is my uncle, our role was and still is basically pass the family name forward.  The scripts between me and my brother were that I was the good one. The one that got away with something because i was quiet and made it seem as if i never did a thing, not the same luck that my brother shared. Since I was little my parents involved me I many sports because they wanted me to be active, I played many different sports. First I joined the Guaynabo City Judo Club for which I competed for about 4 years at a young age an  later I changed to volleyball as a teenager as my main focus in sports while and the same time showing interest and excelling in science classes at my high school. That is one of the reasons I am studying science right now at college. Right now I am I a journey from being a science major to finding the path I that leads me into medical school, I have had a few experiences that makes me focus in getting excellent grades so I can graduate my bachelors and get to start the journey I set for myself. In the mean while my role is being a student, working at hotel as a Waiter/Bartender and training to get a degree in Mixology.
