My mother, along with all of my godparents, began planning my quinceañera after I turned fourteen. My mother and aunts took me t

o a
bridal shop where I was fitted for a long, white gown, which I would wear at the celebration. I felt my cheeks grow red with embarrassment as
the women fawned and fussed over me in the store. I desperately wished that I could just find a hole to crawl into and hide, but there was no
way out. My mother, who
in her glory, naturally assumed that the redness in my face was a glow of happiness. I let her gO right on
thinking that. It was her day, kept telling myself. was doing this for her.
At last, the big day came. My father cooked up a special breakfast for my brothers and me first thing that morning. I had a queasy feeling in
the pit of my stomach, but I was somewhat comforted by my father's easygoing manner and his apparent anticipation of the celebration
ahead.
After breakfast, my mother helped me dress for the quinceañera. While she was styling my hair, she paused every sC often to wipe away
tear of joy that had trickled down her face. I couldn't recall ever having seen my mother quite this happy, and suddenly my heart swelled with
affection for her.
Two hours later, I found myself standing in the front of a church while all of my dearest friends and family members gazed Jp at me from the
pews. As looked out on the smiling, supportive faces of all the people I loved, I had an unexpected realization. This day wasn't for my mother
after all; was for me.
The church ceremony was followed by a fiesta that lasted all day and into the night. My parents served food that they had worked for days to
all prepare. A disc jockey played all of the music I loved, and I was showered with beautiful gifts, practical advice, and good wishes from everyone
important to me
As
Iwatched my family members celebrate in my honor, I realized that my Mexican heritage was not something intangible, like a bunch of old
stories about long-gone relatives. My heritage, I realized, was very real. It was with me at all times, and I was proud of it.

Which claim is both arguable and defensible
vlabodo [156]
The answer is B, because if you were to try and see both sides of shop lifting it would still seem wrong, and you wouldn't say that finishing college was easy and that you didn't have to try and option D just doesn't really make sense. And it is true that you could think all students should be required to volunteer in their community but just as easily you could think that they shouldn't have to. Both sides have good points for this argument.
