The meaning or definition of history is "Acquiring knowledge about significant events and individual developments over time; investigations about the past and its legacy." To start off, I was born on March 31, 2001. In my opinion traditions are a big part of a persons history. With my family we like to continue traditions, one time of the year we especially do this... that would be Christmas. Every Christmas we make it a tradition to hangup all of the ornaments that we have collected over the years together. Also every Christmas we all wake up early to make a homemade polish food called Pirogi, and everyone who can will come over to our house to celebrate and open presents as a family. We used to have another tradition which was going to mexico over spring break (which we still do now), but we used to go to this one villa with our cousins too. But then their grandpa/dad or in my case uncle, passed away from cancer and so that affected where my cousins wanted to go; They didn't want to go back to the villa but we did so we kind of went our separate ways for the spring break vacation. My family cherishes traditions, but some traditions have to change. These traditions from my family's history have influenced who I am because I really believe spending time with family is important. I know some of my friends do not like to go places or do things with their families but I do. I sometimes will even choose to go somewhere with my uncles or grandparents instead of doing something with my friends. This is a big part of who I am and I hope that I will pass this value to my own children when I am older.
