To be honest, I don't have a very diverse nor interesting story of being raised in a multicultural household. so this blog entry has me stumped.
I suppose I'll start by saying the household I'm from has always upheld the traditions set by those that have come before my grandparents and parents, and I'll probably continue to live the way I was raised. I love the various aspects that comprise my heritage- the East Texas Cajun culinary treats from my mother's side, or visiting with the extensive family my father was raised in. There's just something in me that aspires to be them and share the same successes that my two brothers before me have, rather than take the Dee approach.
Of course we don't always just get along fine, as I guess I could say I'm more than just a replication of their genes, but I guess 'Honor thou father and mother' always get me in the end. I get that there's a third way though- it's something present in all sorts of stories, books, movies, ect and has been expressed a lot by several students in this class- although, in conclusion, I'm certainly a Maggie type.
