U.S. and Honduras are more different than they appear

Do you know about the differences between the U.S. and Honduras? Nothing is the same between the U.S. and Honduras. Here in the U.S. we have many different customs like holidays, religion, and school.

In Honduras they celebrate New Year’s in a different way. In Honduras they celebrate with fireworks, food and a big party. Here in the U.S. we don’t have much fun as the people in Honduras. I think the problem is the snow because it makes it too dangerous to go outside. One thing that is the same is that we celebrate New Year’s with family.  I think the most important thing is to celebrate with family.
Another difference between the U.S. and Honduras is religion. In the U.S. you can see many different religions, but in Honduras you don’t see as many religions. I think we have many religions here because people came from all over the world. Honduras doesn’t have as many religions because people don’t travel there as much.

The schools are also different between the U.S. and Honduras. The schools in Honduras don’t have a lot of books like the schools here. The students don’t respect the rules of the school, but here everybody does. Here we have more time at school than in Honduras. I hope one day the schools in Honduras will be like in the U.S.

When I came here everything was different; holidays, religion, and school.  I didn’t like this country when I came here, but now I do. Sometimes it is hard to live here, but things are getting better.

    Good, However you do need some base on saying that ALL schools in honduras are disrespected and how on new years they celebrate with big parties and fireworks, it’s the same where I live.

    I like the idea of the essay but your opinion is very one sided. I am Honduran and proud. Our schools may be less hours but we have more classes and more knowledge then you do when it comes to a lot of things, culture is one of them and your essay is a perfect example why. I would like to see you try to make it 1 day at our school schedules and classes. You wouldnt make it to end of the day. I think its hilarious how you think we dont respect the rules. When it comes to rules Hondurans are way more respectful towards rules and family. Unlike you Americans who just cant wait to leave your families and be bullies. And that is do greatly for the way you treat your parents and the way they let you treat them. I do not like your essay and find it very degrading and just outright rude.
