Journey to the Aisle: ...a story of Cultural Expectations
Journey to the Aisle shares a life experience growing up in the barrio in south Texas where Spanish and Mexican cultural infl uences and traditions, being the norm, presented obstacles and confl icts while experiencing immersion into educational environments. Practicing Catholicism was the core of daily existence in the lives of families. Growing up in a family with ten siblings, the author shares stories about learning how to survive daily in a male-dominant Spanish speaking home environment where gender roles were defi ned through unwritten rules. Attending an Irish Catholic School in the barrio and ultimately a public school system led to a journey of refl ective questioning of cultural expectations. She relates personal struggles and confl icts encountered as she journeys through the process of deciding to make a commitment to marrying.
