I've always felt that I didn't belong to one certain culture. My parents are both native Bengalis. Me, well I was born in Bangladesh but, I moved to Atlanta when I was only a month old. I've lived my whole life in Atlanta and I recognize it as my home. I feel like I'm being pulled by two extremely different cultures and being forced to choice a side. I've been to Bangladesh before to visit and every looks at me as if I'm a green skinned, big head, small body alien. I can not relate to anyone there. My modernization makes it difficult to communicate and truly understand one another.
I'm also caught in between religions because I attend a school in a different country with different holidays that I can't enjoy because my family does not celebrate them. My entire family is Muslim. It makes me feel like I'm a baby duck born into a family of chickens. even though I attend school where Christanity is the majority religion, I don't feel Christian.
I like any type of food as long as it tastes good. My mom would always ask me " Where do you want to go to eat? " I would always tell her " Lets go somewhere new today. " We would go to different restaurants because I don't like to eat the same type of food all the time. I think many people would agree with me about eating the same type of food all the time.
In conclusion I believe that I don't belong to a single culture. I have my very own unique culture. Which is composed of parts from other cultures. Which makes my culture unique and I'm the only one who the culture relates to.
