Remembering the Annual ESL Cultural Fair
By: Octavio
Trejo Flores
(Mexico)
The Cultural Fair was an experience that permitted every student in ESL
Program to show off their country’s traditions, food, drink, and
music. At the same time, it was an opportunity for the seminarians that
study here at Sacred Heart to get to know about the ESL students and their
countries.
I am from Mexico and this is first time I am away from my country. I had the chance to share information about my country at the Culture Fair. I prepared some Mexican appetizers such as guacamole with chips and traditional candy. Mexican music is known around the world, so of course we turned on some music! We were very busy during the Cultural Fair because we continually made the most popular Mexican cocktail, margaritas! The people really enjoyed trying this prepared drink,
For me, this event was a way to feel at home – as though I were
back in Mexico - because I was surrounded by Mexican food, drink, and
people enjoying my culture.
I think this Fair was very successful to others though too, because I
heard from many people how much they liked the food, the drinks, and all
of the information provided.
