My heritage anchored me to my identity by bringing me back to reality. I felt that I had to break free from this
unknowing persona otherwise I’ll go down in history as just being a plain, boring person like everyone else. Eventually, I
became appreciative of what my heritage had to offer. I gained many friends also to make me happier as it was before. I

had. And we are so blessed for having this kind of community.
