Entry 25, Heritage Revisited

    The culture that has been passed down to me, the strict rules of the Asian traditional family, will be what gets in my way of certain things. It benefits me as well, starting from the fact that I can study and I will study. This way I will learn, I will for sure get down information in my head and I will apply that. This is good in many ways, we tend to succeed a little bit more due to the fact that we work a bit harder than everyone else. This also has alot of disadvantage as well, This culture, this way of life, this way of educating the kids, will terminate all sorts of imagination that is going through their mind, this will put a border on their imagination. Limitation is never good, and it would be bad when it comes to limiting the imagination of a child. I believe that this sort of heritage had benefited me more than I have lost things. I believe the way that I am determined to finish all my work and try to get the best out of it. I have definitely felt embarrassed about this sort of heritage before. Whenever I see someone with no limitations, and I am the only one being left out, I somewhat feel embarrassed of my heritage. The more I grow up, the more I realize there is no need of being ashamed, as there are unique parts of every culture and this is just one of thme.
