Recommended: Role of multi-cultural in education promoting diversitypositive education

I moved with my family from Poland to the United States when I was in second grade. Ever since then, I always felt the privilege of knowing two completely different lifestyles allowed me to become more open-minded. Since I am fortunate enough to remember the culture of my motherland from when I was young, I grow up admiring different culture and observing what they have in common as well as seeking things that make each country unique. Consequently, I think it was my background that shaped me to be the person I am today as I love testing new ideas. My current passion is actually something I would never imagine myself doing back when I lived in Poland. When I was in seventh grade I stumbled upon a K-pop video, popular genera of music in the Korean industry. I began to research the K-pop industry and found it very intriguing. K-pop was unlike anything I have ever seen before. The music was very bright and the choreographies were fascinating. Everything was executed so precise that it inspired me to embellish my passion for music and one day become a dancer of such high level. Therefore, once I entered high school I joined the K-pop group at Taft. For the last three years I have continued to explore Korean culture through their music and dance as a group leader in K-pop. Some people find it a bit strange for someone who is not Korean to be …show more content…

But my family resided in a country environment. Most of them lived out in the country, some have moved to the city, but their origin resides where they grew up. I have visited my family out in the country and it was what I expected, large amounts of land and animals grazing in the coral. I would say my families culture, and how they

One example of this is my current music selection. When I was younger, I would listen to the typical pop songs they played on the radio. Now I have my own taste and many of the songs are french music that I listen to on a daily bases. I like to think this is because in middle school, the teacher would play songs before she started class. French has also impacted my travel; during the summer, my family and I traveled to france for two weeks, immersing myself within the culture.

My family immigrated here the year before I was born. Starting with nothing in a new world, my parents taught me to be conservative from an early age. My first mantra was “Be creative and make do with what you have”. I helped my mother plant gardens using the compost from our trash. I picked up bottles on the street to recycle for money.

Growing up in a small, middle class town in the midwest left little cultural diversity surrounding me as a young child. Me and all of my friends seemed to be cut from the same material. For the most part, we all had two loving, caring parents, we often times did not struggle for items necessary to live, and we often times were never introduced to people much different than us. It can be quite easy to say the midwest is the worst place to raise an open minded child; that being said, I believe my first two hours in Germany opened my eyes more than anything else I have gone through in my entire life.

When I was a young girl, I was always asked by friends what my passion was, but I never had an answer to give them. I would always listen to other people talk about their passions, and I wondered what it felt like to be passionate about something. I knew to be passionate about something it meant to feel some sort of emotions, emotions such as joy or love. At the age of ten, I started watching a televised dance competition show called “So You Think You Can Dance Canada”. I fell in love with the way dancers danced to the beat of the music.

Music has always been one of my greatest passions. By being in the marching band and dedicating myself to doing the best I can and form great relationships, I know that band has affected me in a very positive way.

I was able to be someone a freshman or sophomore looked up to and that experience was worth more than anything in my time in high school. Another passion would include dance.

One of interest during elementary school was music, not knowing that it was going to become a talent. In the fourth grade I began to play the recorder, where I found my interest in music, before this time I had no idea on how to play instrument. No one from my family had ever had any experience on playing an instrument or any musical talent. From that point on I had to learn by myself. When entering middle school, I wanted to join the band to learn more about music and try a new instrument.

I come from a pretty diverse mix of people that have definitely impacted the person that I am today. One my dad’s side, I am Cherokee. Before the Civil Rights Movement, people like me had no rights whatsoever. I am very outspoken which I am sure relates back to my ancestor’s not being able to voice their own opinions until after the Civil Rights Movement. The economy has definitely shaped me very recently into a changed version of myself.

My love for the Turkish culture and food began when I was choosing classes for my first high school experience. When the only languages offered were Spanish and Turkish I absent mindedly wrote down Turkish and hit submit without a second thought. Entering my first day of high school, I soon realized how grateful and happy I was that I had chosen Turkish. Not only was my teacher, Mr. Kilcak amazing, he knew how to get everyone's attention through a fun and exciting environment. Although we had textbooks to master the language we rarely used them.

For me, figure skating was one of these things I was passionate about. Because I had sincerely wanted to be on the ice at 5 in the morning each day, I set myself up to finish 9th at nationals for my division, cementing my own sort of immortality. A passion for piano has done the same sort of thing as well. I have been able to make it into New Trier’s highest Jazz band junior year and have been able to play around the Chicago land area with my own jazz band for gigs. It is this passion for the beauty in both figure skating and jazz where I have created my own immortality. This passion wouldn’t have been first started without seeing the beauty behind the form.

I realized my passion for performing at a young age, but it wasn’t until high school when I realized I wanted to pursue it in the future. I knew by the time I was doing two to three shows a semester, that I wanted nothing more, than to pursue a career in the performing arts. I wasn’t always fully invested in musical theatre. My parents introduced me to sports such as soccer and water polo as a young 3rd grader. While I spent much of my time playing sports, I naturally gravitated towards dance, music and choir in school.

The Americans openness and helpfulness fascinated me enormously. Especially when coming from the Danish culture, where conversations with strangers in public is incredibly rare and unusual. Every time you met a stranger, they asked where you come from and what you did here. Then you got almost their life story. A special experience when coming from a culture, where people is reserved and sharing itself to a stranger is a very personal thing.
