As I was growing up after I moved here it didn’t seem any difference but now as I am growing older I do want to keep stay grounded to my roots and still incorporate my culture to my life because culture played a enormous roll in my life. To make these changes in my life I have decide to travel to Pakistan for two month’s which will be hard but I think it will help me get reconnected with my culture because I want to stay connected so I can pass it down to my children one
