7. In 2003, I graduated from high school, I know I’m supposed to be happy, but not, because I know I will say goodbye to school and there’s no certainty if I will go back again because of the financial crisis in our family. Soon after I graduated, I searched for a job where I can invest money for my college because I really wanted to finish a degree. Thank God I was hired at a fast food restaurant.

    The Philippines have been colonized by the Spaniards and the Americans for centuries, and these two cultures have had a significant impact on the Filipino culture and their identity. Martin and Nakayama note Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck research on cultural values claims that, “Values are the most deeply felt beliefs shared by a cultural group; they reflect a shared perception of what ought to be, and not what is” (p. 99).
