I agree with the ideas that you presented about how sometimes we don't fit in, in a certain place because the way we speak and we feel out of place because we ask ourselves "where do we belong?" and how we have to conform ourselves to other cultures that are around us, on my experience when I moved to the Unites States I was the only Guatemalan in my class and everyone else were Mexican so I had to get used to their words and use them because I was the only one who was "different" and living that changes the way you are, it can change your culture, if people ask me what I am I will tell them I am Guatemalan but I am a mix of different cultures, I don't speak like a Guatemalan because I'm used to speaking English and also "Mexican" which is totally different than the Spanish that I grew up with and sometimes it's hard to fit in a certain group because I don't speak like them and makes me think who I am and after reading your article I realize that I'm a mix of different culture and no matter how hard I try not to be changed by the way society is it just happens naturally I don't try or push myself to act different its just out there that it becomes part of my life, I know what my culture is and how I was raised but living half of my life in my country and the other half in another country changes the way I am and created a new culture because its a mix of two different countries, in a way it could be a good thing because I can learn different things from both of them but it can also confuse me of who I am and that's where I sit and think who am I? but like I said after thinking I realize I am a mix of many cultures since I live in another country, hang out with many different people that have different cultures so I learn from them and get used to them, so I agree in everything that you presented in your essay because it's true and it helped me to see who I am and I decided that I am Guatemalan, American and a mix of many different countries.
