Assignment 3- Matthew Street

This is truly a blog post in which I can connect more with because I am personally impacted by it. I am originally from Medellin, Colombia and I still visit back there fairly often so I get a very broad perspective on the culture from there and how it is different from here in the United States. Every day things are different here than there and lots of people in the United States take things for granted that would be seen as blessings in a third world country and it is very eye opening when you can see it as a first hand experiment. As some may know, I swim a lot and I swim pretty often. I am a colombian national record holder in the 15 year old boys 200 meter butterfly, but I don’t put much credit into that title because I have access to many better facilities in the states as well as I have the opportunity to spend more money on suits here than they can in colombia but I think the ability to see the whole thing from two cultures really benefits me as a person.
