Personal Narrative: My Skin

Improved Essays

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…

I should not have to be placed in categories that others think I should be in based on the color of my skin or by what my political or religious views are.…
