about me
My culture, Hinduism, and race, Indian, have been the most influential characteristics in my life. These two characteristics combined also influence my other characteristics such as my age and sex. In America, my age restricts me from doing many things; but coming from a Hindu background brings me many more responsibilities along with my age. My sex prohibits me from achieving many life goals that other people would have no problem achieving. My ethnicity and culture have had a very big impact on my social life. Learning that I was different from others was an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. I learned about one of my dominant characteristics in the second grade.

" Hindu parents usually do not let their children go out because they believe their children will be corrupted. I am a first generation Indian-American and I have more privileges than my parents did. I am proud that I have had the chance to learn and grow up with the values and principles that are taught by Hinduism. This summer I asked my parents if I could so that I could save up for college. With age I have many responsibilities and restrictions.
