Lomesh Singh
I come from a very diverse country, Guyana with many different cultures. There might be a lot of different cultures but the country as a whole is very similar in their cultural ways. Guyana is located in South America so my culture is similar to that of hispanics. Also even though I was born there, my ancestors are from India. So I would like to think myself very diverse. All that said, much of my cultural identity is based upon living in America. More important California. I'm influenced a lot culturaly by what's going on in the mainstream media as well as music, sports, and movies. As with any other individual my age music is a big part of my daily life. My parents still raised me with important morals and values from my country. They raised me to be respectful to my elders, respect for myself, and respect for them. I think I turned out alright for myself. I also owe some thanks to my two older cousins I grew up with. They were always there for me and when i was in a jam would bail me out. So a lot people, places, thing have made me the person I am and have given me my identity.
