I have a lot of things that make me, me. There have been to many important events to count that make me who I am today. But if I were to summarize a few main points they would be food, my background (Ancestors, past family members), and Education. These are very important to me and I hope that it will always stay that way. Food for me is important because I was introduced to a small variety of foods when I was young.

You can trace anyone back to somewhere if you dig hard and long enough. I haven’t gone as far as I would have like but I know I am a bunch of different ethnicities, even if I don’t show it. For example I am Dutch, Irish, American, Black-Foot Indian, Japanese, French, Italian, English, and Welsh, I am a lot of different things, many not visible, but they are there. So I know how it feels to be discriminated at for a ethnicity, but I don’t let that get me down. I have worked hard and will continue to do so for the respect of others. My name sake also makes me who I am because I can look back at my family members and be proud of them, some not so much, but to me if they thought it was the right thing to do and it was just in their minds than it’s fine by me. Now I don’t mean whatever your past may be, it will follow you throughout life. I mean you can make a life for yourself, but your past family is a part of you. So if you’re whole family is a bunch of people who can’t hold their beer, doesn’t mean you will follow that chain, but that you need to be a little more careful in situations others might not

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American.

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today.

I could smell it, it drew me in closer, and I could watch it morph into something tangible and compact. It began turning a beautiful shade of golden brown, it wisped off to white on every end. It was fluffy, and warm to the touch, it was my breakfast.…
