Heritage Shmeritage? No Way

What am I? I've been told I am mostly Spanish, while German comes in second and the rest (English, Dutch, Swedish, and Irish) are minuscule percentage wise. So what does this tell me? Well right now it tells me nothing. I can get stories about my Spanish heritage from my dad, but my mom is reluctant in telling me any stories about the other 50% of my heritage. I'm not sure if this is on purpose, or if she just does know any because her parents never told her any either. But I am fascinated with my heritage. Well, I'm actually just fascinated with heritage in general. I really think it is an incredibly important thing for a person to know. What happened in the past affects the future. I think it's important for people to embrace their heritage and appreciate it. Heritage helps make us who we are today. Plus there is always so much that can be learned from a person's heritage. It gives new looks on life and new ideas when you look up the culture from which you were made. Going along with my fascination, when you know your heritage, you can hear so many interesting stories! Who knows who I could be distantly related to from the past? There are so many possibilities and chances for growth. If one thing is for sure, I don't think that finding out more about heritage and embracing it can hurt. You could learn so many things you never knew before. Who knows, maybe it could change the view of a culture for someone. Or maybe even their view on their own family.
