One obstacle that has affected my life and made me the person I am right now is racial or ethnic discrimination. This social issue has always been the barrier that kept me from doing what I love and being motivated to do more and live a life where I can feel accepted. Ever since I was born, I have lived in different countries and experienced racial discrimination in so many different forms. I never felt accepted and belong. Unfortunately, such a basic human need was taken away from me simply because of external circumstances over which I have no control. I have been discriminated against or in other words rejected because of skin color, family roots, religious beliefs, way of dressing, way of talking, and so much more. One time in high school
