I have truly enjoyed learning about cultural identity and I must say it’s been an eye opener. Its been especially great learning in a class where everyone’s from a different background since we’re all pretty much in the same boat. After all we've read and learned in class, I've decided to make a conscious decision to understand the American way of life better. Most aspects of American culture are still baffling to me, and I find myself scratching my head at most of the things I see and read. Since moving to America I’ve felt so much like an outsider that I just shut myself out and blamed it on being from a different country. I now see that I’ll probably experience a lot more if I embrace the differences, and view it as a learning experience. I don't want to be one those people who move far away from their home country’s and don't even bother to try to learn the language!
