At 10 years old, Ideliza Romo says her Texas traditions are her favorite thing about the state.

“Since when we joined the United States, even though the president and the government overrule us, it’s good that Texas still keeps its traditions and its ways from the past,” she says.

“We’re not copying any other state, any country, continent — nothing,” she said.
