For example, I had difficulty understanding jokes, so I took them literally and did not know they were joking.…

    Going through small private schools in a little town since I was in kindergarten has set me up for very few cultural experiences but my parents never wanted my siblings and I to grow up like this.

We stayed in a nice resort and it was never necessary to leave the property if you didn’t want to. Most people never did.…

There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    This paper to me seemed like it would be a very tough one to accomplish. I am not one to go into another person’s home and just observe them and maybe put myself in an awkward position.
