Family Food Traditions

When it comes to dinners at my house during the week I am in everett with my college roommates and I'm living on a very meager budget and choice of food for meals. I have become very accustomed to making quesodillas with different choices of fillers. About once a month we make our costco trip to fill our cupboards with the essentials to  make the tried and true meals that we know we can make and afford.

On some weekends however, I travel down to my hometown to visit my family. The meals that I eat on the weekends tend to help me stay nourished for the next week. Fridays are usually pizza night at my house, and the weekends have a variety of different meals; if its nice out my dad likes to barbecue different meals and sometimes we're treated to my mom's pot roast. During the week at my families house, the meals are typically easier made meals; like frozen chicken wings, etc.

When it comes to holidays, my family pulls out the 'big guns' to make the extravagant meals. For Thanksgiving and Christmas if the holiday finds itself residing at our house that year, my mom pulls out her mom's recipe on cooking a turkey (which is both laminated and copied onto the computer) My family members help out during the procedure; each assigned to a task. Sometimes there are conflicting beliefs as to what the best course of action is when it comes to making the holiday the perfect one; in the end each holiday ends in success.

Community

Soccer is a community.

Being on a soccer team is a community because you surround yourself with people who generally share the same desires and similarities.  The key thing that holds a soccer team together is the drive to succeed and better both one's ability to play soccer well and the team's ability to win. The interests that we share together as a team is that we want to be a part of a successful team that can win games and grow a good sense of cohesiveness as a team. As players we all respect and love the game of soccer, therefore we all have something great in common. When it comes to tension and differences there are many different backgrounds that people come from and sometimes that could be a problem when it comes to having many different backgrounds represented on one field.

When it comes to my soccer team I fit in pretty well. I'm generally a mild mannered and quiet person off the field so I am pretty quiet when my team and I are hanging out, but when it comes to being on the field you have to be vocal and strong willed in order to be successful. Since I was five years old I have been playing soccer and the love for the game probably will never leave me so I look forward to being able to stay a part of the soccer community for a very long time.

My Wallet

If you were to stumble upon my wallet you find that is mildly organized and messy at the same time. I have a sleeve filled with my various cards; debit card, drivers license, student ID, REI membership card, coffee card, vertical world membership card, health insurance card, Costco card, and various gift cards. I feel that if you were trying to figure my identity from this wallet you would assume that I am an active individual from my REI cards and rock climbing membership card. They would probably figure that I am a somewhat responsible person by carrying my health insurance card. Judging by the multiple gift cards and Costco card they could think that I am always trying to save some money from time to time. Also they were figure me to be an avid coffee drinker considering all the stamps I have on my card.
