Personal Culture Assignment I am a Vietnamese-American born and raised in San Jose, California. Growing up here, I had the opportunity to experience many different cultures, from Vietnamese to Mexican, Indian, Greek, Mediterranean, Japanese and Chinese. All these different cultures but the beginning of my life still only stuck to one, vietnamese. Growing up, I was told to be successful, to be better, to do something with my life, told to find help when I need it, and express myself.

The thought I’ve had alone, just thinking, about scenarios and just realizing that it’s just a piece of matter making fake memories, day dreaming, and trying to understand what is going on. What actually happens, the other dimensions of infinite possibilities and outcomes between universes. Time travel isn’t possible, but interdimensional travel
