What is Global about me...

Some general questions people ask others are where are you from? Where did you grow up? Who do you hang out with? Usually, the answers to them are clear cut and simple like I am from states and lived in Chicago.

Yet for me, the answers to those questions are not as clear cut as they should be. For I am Saudi, American, German, Irish, Egyptian, Palestinian, Syrian and even American Indian. I do not consider myself a citizen of one country yet I consider myself a citizen of the world.

My background is not the only thing that is Global about me, but also the people I chose to be with. My friends are just as global as I am and give me more insight into other cultures. For example, the closest person to me is Saudi/Spanish and also a citizen of the world. He gives me insight to a culture and language that I now find near to my heart, the Spanish culture.

I still have a lot more to learn and look forward to it…

Logging out, D.A.A
