One of my classes this term is called “Multicultural Issues: Social and Cultural Foundations.” I’ve been learning, talking, reading, and thinking a lot about multicultural issues in my life: my school, my country, my family, etc. A lot of emotions have come up: grief, rage, shame, humility… This is one of those good hard experiences of life… but I also realize that great responsibility comes with awareness. And I admit it: I’m terrified. And then I am ashamed to admit it. But I am.

I wanted to share a blog post that one of my classmates wrote in relation to this process. It is honest and so very inspiring. I appreciate it so much. Please, PLEASE take the time to read through it:
