I went to a Dominican-American girl's "Sweet 15" on Saturday and had an amazing time! The family and friends spoke in Spanish and English. I thought it was wonderful how the girl wanted to keep in touch with her Hispanic heritage by having a Quinceañera. Ever since she was a little girl able to pronounce the word her dream was to have this party. In class this week we will discuss this cultural celebration of when a girl becomes a woman. What do you know about this birthday party? Have you ever been to one? Does your culture do something similar? If you were/are Hispanic would/do you want to have one of these parties? Do you think it's worth it?
