The food we eat can define if we are healthy and smart with our life choices, but sometimes economic factors can come into play. Some people can’t afford most fruits or vegetables, or fresh meat. At most they can afford a two dollar burger from McDonalds, and a Happy Meal. I personally like to eat a lot of pasta, steak, and seafood. My ability to try foods from different cultures vary. I like Mexican food a lot, I am not particularly sure why but I love it. Foods like Greek, some Asian, Indian, Russian, and Northern European disgusts me.  The strangest food I have ever eaten would be squid.

The quiz predicts that I am from the Deep South, which is correct, but it says my answers are most related to Alabama or Georgia, but I am from New Orleans. It is very well known that people from New Orleans have a very distinct way of talking, from our accents, speech, and vocabulary. Growing up my parents wanted me to “learn to speak properly”, in order to be taken more seriously in the work force. So my vocabulary isn’t quite like regular New Orleanians, but some questions and answers hit right at home. For example the map showed that only New Orleans calls the grass in the streets the Neutral Ground.

I am a very creative and imaginative as a writer. If I am told to write anything non-fiction the thoughts just flow through my veins like blood. My greatest weaknesses as a writer are tying things back to an article or relating two things together.  Research papers are also a weak point for me. The most stressful part of writing for me are big research  papers. I always worry that I will not have enough to write so I tend to get off topic just to fill in space. I would love to be able to write better research papers and reflective responses.
