Old Fashioned vs. Modern As I was growing up, my parents weren’t really as financially stable as they hoped they could be, so they were always too busy working and trying to find end meet. As a result of them being at work most, if not all, their time I was pretty much being raised by my grandma. Being raised by my grandma has made me into the women I am today; humble, strong and independent. I enjoyed growing up with my Grandma but I’m not going to lie we had our moments where we didn’t always see eye to eye on certain things. Because of how close we are, we sometimes tend to clash heads with each other on things we believe when it comes to; music, food, clothes, etc. Were alike in many ways yet have our different point of views.
Since my grandma raised me in a Hispanic environment I’ve learned to cook at a very young age. In the kitchen we both forget about anything and everything that has happened between us and get along and help each other out. I for one, enjoy burning my food on purpose because I love burnt food, my grandma hates when I do this because she complains how the house always ends up smelling really bad and it’s not healthy for me to eat burnt food but I do it anyways because it’s good. Occasionally we fight about whether or not this spice should be added or if we need to stir it longer or if it needs more water but at the end of the day we seem to compromise because we love each other. My grandma and I, we can go on for days arguing about something that isn’t even worth arguing about but were just both so stubborn that neither of us will admit that we were wrong.
When it comes to music we have a total different outlook on genres. My grandma was raised in Mexico where all she grew up listening to was mariachi, old Latin music, or old novella musicals. I on the other hand prefer modern pop music like for instance Bruno mars or Eminem etc. The only similarity in music we tend to have would be when it comes to the genre of Bachata. We can listen to Bachata for days on ends without arguing about changing the song or station. Bachata can make any of days better because when we listen to it we immediately start dancing with each other or by ourselves.
I would have to say that when it comes to personality wise we are totally distinct in a very obvious way. I’m a very introvert person and like to keep stuff to myself I don’t really like to express my feelings as most others would. My grandma on the other hand is a very extrovert person and doesn’t mind expressing what’s on her mind. If she doesn’t like the way you dress or wear make-up she isn’t afraid to let you know that it’s bothering her As I was growing up, my parents weren’t really as financially stable as they hoped they could be, so they were always too busy working and trying to find end meet. As a result of them being at work most, if not all, their time I was pretty much being raised by my grandma.
