Taking a prompting from something Moni said, I thought it would be fun to post what I know of my origins.
My family from my mother's side comes from Scottland, Ireland, and American Cherokee Indian.
My father's side has Dutch and German backgrounds. .
Living in Mexico for two years has taught me alot about other nations, as I have spent time getting to know people from Australia, Bosnia, China, France, Canada, Samoa, Egypt, Tonga, New Zealand, South America, Mexico, Spain, and some other countries that I can't even remember right now.
.
Making friends with each of them, trying to learn some basic culture differences, and actually being around these people on a daily basis helped me to put the world in a new perspective. Almost everyone of the people I met were about my age (at the time 19-22), and they all were just like me. They had the same likes and dislikes, and I saw no reason to believe that I was any better than any one them. I am thankful for my opportunity that I had, and the friends I made while there.
