Having the chance to live in two countries, i have two different ways of looking at life. i value the traditions that i have learned from my families but at the same time i have also learned some american values. I think as a world though, we all value respecting ones who are older then us or just people in general. Althoough the cultures in china compared to the United States is a big difference, somethings will overlap or have some similarities. i think in the past years i have learned to be a individual and be able to work together as a team with a group of people when a group task is provided. At the same time i may be working in a group but at the same time i am thinking about what am i going to get out of it as a individual. The class discussion got me thinking a lot about what really makes me who i am. I feel that because there are so so many things that i want in the world, it makes me work harder in life to get what i want. That is what drives me to get up everyday and go to school to put some effort in. If there weren't all these wants i would be a lazy kid sitting at home on the couch eating as much food as possible.
