My Geography

            I live in Portland, Oregon, and I've lived in here my whole life, which means that I have a North Western American accent, even though I don't notice it, of course.  The food culture in Portland includes a lot of organic produce, and most people shop organically, at places like Whole Foods or as some know it "Whole Paycheck" because shopping organically can get pricey.  Living in Portland means that my family and everyone I know owns a rain jacket, umbrella, and plenty of cold weather clothes.  I'll need them since I walking is my main mode of transportation, which another great thing about where I live.  I live within walking distance of my school, my friends houses, and a lot of great places to eat.

My Age Culture

              Since I'm fourteen years old, I am in high school, which is my education currently.  I show my high school culture by going to school dances, football games, other sports events, and spending time with my friends.  My speech and language are also different than other ages since I'm fourteen.  Because I'm young, I wear different clothes than older people.  My typical wardrobe is skinny jeans, Uggs, a casual shirt and sweat shirt or jacket.  Being fourteen limits on my transportation to biking, walking, or getting a ride from someone older since I can't drive myself yet.  Lastly being fourteen means that I'm stuck in the teenager stage between child and adult.  This means I'm expected take on certain adult responsibilities, but I'm still a child, so I have to follow the rules of all the adults around me.

My Female Culture

                   One of my cultures is that I am part of the female gender.  Every day I spend time on my makeup and hair.  These are both symbols that I carry with me of my female culture.  One way my my culture is represented is through clothing.  I wear clothes like tight jeans, occasionally skirts, high healed boots, blouses, and scarves - clothes that pretty clearly represent at girl in the time and age.  I also freely enjoy why are sometimes considered girly activities, like shopping, and baking.
