DNA Test Gives Students Ethnic Shocks

I really liked this article because I can relate to it. I grew up believing I was 100% Puerto Rican. But, my grandfather immigrated from Spain, which means that there is some part of me that isn't Puerto Rican. These type of things have always confused me. Even when I was little, I always believed that I was 100% Puerto Rican. Then, as I got older my mom would tell me stories of how her father came to New York City from Spain before she was born. I have also learned of other different types of blood that runs through my family and our history. I've been told I have the blood of some native indians and other cultures. If I was given the chance to take this test like these students were, I would definitely not turn the option down. I believe it can help a lot of students, and even other people learn about the history of their families & where their families came from.
