I interviewed a friend that I have grown up with in my hometown. He was an adopted African-American. He was adopted into a small town white family. He said adapting to a family who had a different skin color than you was very tough to accept. As he grew up, he learned more about his adoption and how he had adapted to accept anyone no matter what their skin color, race, or life was like. He told me that he was blessed to be part of a family that loved him for who he was.
Growing up in a small town, I was taught to enjoy the little things and be grateful for what you have. I learned that people take their culture and adapt to the new culture that they are presented with. No matter what your culture is, you can keep that culture strong while also adapting to another one. Being in the medical field, you never know what culture you are presented with. I could very well face many different kinds of cultures.
