2. Author Bio:
My name is Miss. Adebo, and I was born in London, England. My parents were born in Lagos, Nigeria. My sisters were born in London, but my brother was born in America. He is the only American in my family. My sense of culture is a mixture of Nigerian, British, and American culture. My family moved to America was I was young, so I have been Americanized in my way of life. The Nigerian culture is very rich from the types of clothes we wear to the types of foods we eat. We have deep traditions about ones lifestyle, marriage, children, and education. My British culture is prevalent in my everyday life from the way I interact with people (my speech) to the way I eat certain foods.

3. Naming Ceremony
In my culture, celebrations are a major events that require all to attend. A naming ceremony is a celebration of life. When a couple has conceived a child, it is customary to have a ceremony to introduce that child to the world. This is usually done in a church with many friends and family around them. The priest will usually bless the child and the parents. Gifts, music, and food are all customary to bring for the family and the child.

4. Porridge
Porridge originated in northern England. Porridge is a very common breakfast food in England. Porridge is a dish made by boiling ground, crushed, or chopped cereal in water, milk, or both, with optional flavorings, usually served hot in a bowl or dish. It is commonly known as oatmeal in the United States. I ate this a lot when I was in Catholic school.
