The story of my Hispanic life is probably gonna be different from probably all of the others. Out of my family, my mom is the one who gives me the Hispanic blood that I have been caught gloating about to many, many people. The only problem is that in her own family, she was the baby, the one who had been given the least amount of culture, and the least amount of Spanish lessons unlike her sisters. Nidia Santiago / Mexico
Being Hispanic to me, means unconditional love, family, hard work, perseverance, food, music. I come from a huge Mexican family of immigrants from both sides of my family. I watched as my parents, aunts and uncles worked hard, some of the ladies took care of the families and also worked from home for extra income to help the husbands provide for the families. Sharlena Pina / Mexico
I'm privileged today to share my story about my Hispanic heritage. I grew up in a home were Spanish was our primary language, and was cared by my two cousins. I was born in Los Angeles, and my family moved to Simi Valley when my mom was expecting my younger sister. My parents wanted us to grow up in a better community than were we were living. My memories as a child were being involved with Folklorico dancing, listing to Spanish music in the house, and novellas in the evening. |

What is the difference between Hispanic and Latino?
Many individuals prefer one over the other. While the two terms do overlap they do not mean the same thing.
In short terms Hispanic refers to language and Latino refers to geography
A Hispanic is an individual with ancestry or who originates from a Spanish-speaking country, such as Mexico. An individual who is Latino means they have ancestry or who originates from Latin American country. The term 'Hispanic' does not apply to individuals from Brazil because the dominate language is Portuguese there. Hispanic does include all of Spain's population. Since their dominate language is Spanish and all originates from Spanish ancestry. For this reason as well, individuals from Spain would not fall under the 'Latino' category.
