All my life I’ve been surrounded by cultural diversity. I remember that in my childhood I would often roam around my neighborhood, making friends of sorts of backgrounds. I remember I had one friend at a tender age that was Indian. Her mother would often make delicious Indian food, exposing my to flavors and a part of their culture I never knew until then. Growing up by best-friend was Muslim Lebanese, and I learned to greet her family with many kisses cheek by cheek. From my white neighbors I had my first taste of Campbell’s Chicken-noodle and tomato soup. I promise you if it weren’t for these people, I doubt that I would have tasted these foods. And my friends continue to present to me so much exposure to different cultures that I could quite literally continues on and on about them. I’m so happy I’ve had these experiences, I’m so blessed.
