Where Am I Really From?

I think that the testing is really neat. For many years whenever some one asks what ethnicity I am I usually say half Cuban, half mutt. I know that my grand parents came over from Cuba, and that my mom was born here. My dad basically says that he is Italian, Irish, German, and basically everything else from Europe. But I have always wondered exactly what he is, and how much I truly am Cuban. I think that this testing is a really cool thing because he helps people find out where they really came from. I also think that it can, I don’t want to say hurtful, but I guess shocking would be a better word. Say for example me, my whole life I have been telling people that I am half Cuban, if I found out that I was anything less than that, I would be upset. It would be very interesting to know but I would be upset because I enjoy the reaction that I get from people when I tell them that I’m Cuban. DNA testing is something that I would like to do because it would finally help me know where I truly come from.
