An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow
confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN QUEENS

I have lived in Sunnyside since 2000. In my neighborhood, I can find many latin cultures, for example, Colombians, Dominicans, Ecuadorian, Mexicans Puerto Ricans, Brazilians, etc.
The latin people are friendly and kind. The Domicans and Boricuas are nice, they come outside and sit on the stairs in the summer. They turn on the radio, dance and make a lot of noise almost until 11:00pm.
I can talk to about my culture, Ecuadorian families give a lot of love to each a other. The mothers take care and educate her children. At Christmas the chidren put on customes and walk in the streets to celebrate the birth of Jesus, then go to the church.
At home each family makes a special food for Christmas Day and give presents to each a other.
