Teachable Moment Abstract
In my piece, through personal stories and my reflections on them, I aim to show readers the importance of their cultural heritage, and accepting who they truly are.
By sharing my journey of self-discovery throughout the years, I aim to inspire readers to start their own, starting at the roots of their ancestry and cultures. I want readers to realize the importance of their roots, and why they should strive to strengthen their connections to it no matter how difficult it may be.
By pushing away external pressures and unrealistic societal expectations, you learn to embrace this new sense of self, and that through the moments of struggle is where you find your true self. One’s roots don’t serve merely as where they originated from, but as a constant wave of strength, helping us get through the many challenges and hurdles we may face, being the key to unlocking our full potential.
