Personal Narrative: Growing Up In A Diverse Family
Who I am
I grew up in a very diverse family. Being exposed to many different cultures and beliefs, I was given the opportunity to learn from those I have grown up around and decide what culture I truly feel I belong too. The places I have been and all that I have been exposed too, has made me an irregular individual from my classmates.

We stayed in a beautiful white villa that was located right in the middle if the slums. There were so many kids that just ran about and just after the first day my sister and I became friends with them and got to experience the life that they live.

We then packed all of your stuff after five years in Scotland and move to Texas where everything is bigger and better as they say. Texas was where i made real friends and started to actually become a young adult. I got my license and that was it, I was free and expected to take care of myself under my parents roof.It made me mature a lot quicker than my friends and I always felt weird when i was with them. Not in a sense that I thought I was smarter, I just didn't care what they had to say. I wanted to sit with the grown ups and interact with them at the same level as they were
