My Heritage
My name is Ender Roy Gregory Keating and I am 11 years old. My heritage stems from a few different places. These places are Ireland, Philippines, and Italy. I owe these places and bloodlines as being part of me to my grandparents and my parents, let me tell you about them!
My Heritage
My father is half Irish and half Italian. I take his last name Keating which is 100% Irish and my Grandmother's maiden name is Paouano which she is 100% Italian. I am very proud to be a half Irish and it is probably the heritage that I feel the most patriotic about apart from the American in me. I even own a ring that has the Keating family crest. I think I that the reason I feel so proud to be a Keating is because we are never disappointing and we always become soldiers or commanders. My dad taught me this.
My Heritage
My mother is half Irish and half Filipino. Her maiden name is Whitten which is Irish and my Grandmother is 100% Filipino from the Philippines and her last name is Lacambra. This makes me half Irish, a quarter Italian and a quarter Filipino. I spend the most time with my Filipino Grandma out of all my grandparents because she spends a lot of time with my mom, but I don't understand her when she speaks her language. It is called Tagalog.
My Hobbies
My hobbies are that I play viola at school and piano lessons at home at my mom's house. I like to play games on my PC and on my PS4 also. I also enjoy reading and started reading the book series Ender's Game which is what I was named after.
A Special Vacation
The last summer before Covid I went to Hawaii with my mom, sister, grandma, stepdad, and my uncle's family. We were on the island of Oahu and got to go to places like Honolulu and North Shore. We went swimming in a waterfall and got to eat at a real luau. Our hotel was on Waikiki Beach too!
