Hey Layla, I'm just worried about the Culture Festival tomorrow.
What's the matter, Caleb?
I'm just not sure how people will react to who I am and what my culture's values are.
That doesn't sound too bad...
I went to it last year, it was amazing! I got to see so many people's ethnic backgrounds and make so many new friends!
I would love to be able to explain the history of UAE and how our traditions were created!
I think I saw a booth ran by UAE students there too! It's a great way to view other values, traditions, perspectives, and overall communities of one another.
This is a perfect opportunity to grow as a person, and become interested in seeing situations from other points of views, because of how many different ways of thinking everyone has.
Talking to other people and asking about their opinions on subjects helped me grow so much as a person. They opened up my views and gave me lots of new ideas.
Thank you so much Layla, I don't even know why I was worried anymore!
No problem Caleb, it was great talking about the Culture Festival with you. Hopefully I'll see you there tomorrow!
