Mid-term Armenian Heritage Assignment

Since I was born in Armenia and grew up there I have known my whole life about being an Armenian and about my culture and heritage. When I was young my grandparents would tell me this stories about Armenian heros and what they have done for my country and that influenced me. Thanks to my parents I have went to 6 years of Armenians school in Armenia where I enjoyed learning my language, culture, arts, food and etc. Being surrounded by family and school gave me even a greater influence on my Armenian heritage.

I have always been influenced by my parents. They have always told me and still do to never loose my pride of being Armenian , never to feel left out by other cultures to always show  something of mine. I still have most of my family live in Armenia so every phone call really just wants to take my back to Armenia. To tell the truth I miss Armenia a lot. Waking up in the morning and having all the neighbors and the kids outside playing is a huge memory of me unlike being here and not having your friends live on the same street and having the mothers go to each others houses for coffee and gossip.
A year ago before my grandfather passed away he lived with me he would always tell me stories about so many things. He used to be a book shop owner back in the day and he still has so many book in my house in Armenia that I would like to get to read not just knowing the parts of my grandfathers memories of the books, but the whole stores.
Even thought I'm not in Armenia now I still talk Armenian at home, with friends, and also eat Armenian food. I  watch Armenian TV mostly at home more than watching American shows. My sister Arpine and I always have a week thing where I teach her Armenian letters , reading and other stuff, because she only went to school for 3 years and know she doesn't remember a lot.
My heritage is very important to me and my family, and that is one thing that will always be. I am a proud Armenian.
