Senior Maya Caballero is proud to be apart of two different nationalities where family, food, and tradition are similar yet unique in their differences. Having a mother that’s Indian and a father who’s Mexican shows her the greatness of both cultures and are united by their strong relationship with family.
“We are very close knit, and always do everything together. When we spend time with my grandparents in Florida we always eat dinner together at the table. Even though I’m an only child, I’m never left out. I have five aunts and uncles and thirteen cousins; there’s always comfort and warmth that comes with being close to my family,” she explained.
Her love for her family comes from being raised in both cultures, and their love for food comes with that as well.
