My life has been anything but normal to most. I always feel like I am different and being judged for my appearance or what I say. It is not easy being the odd man out most of the time. I am a twenty year old Chaldean-American. My parents were born and raised in Iraq and immigrated to America in their early twenties on the hopes of freedom.
They finally had their freedom and have never turned back since. My parents are my role-models, heroes and reasons for living the way I do. Always being different does have its tolls on you (especially when I am going to a predominately white college where they’re barely any students of Middle Eastern descent) but I unbelievably wouldn't have it any other way. My culture has given me an amazing outlook on life and such an open mind to others and their culture where I have grown and am still thriving today. This blog is going to show you the ups and downs of my culture-rich life while being a college student and trying to understand everything that is happening around me.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride.
