Different... but the Same

I cannot say that in my entire life that I have been interested in culture... but saying that would also be a lie.

I have always loved learning new things and meeting new people. I think that it is extremely important to understand all the different people in the world.

Everyone has a different culture and their own background; everyone has a story to tell; everyone has something that they are passionate about. All of these things are so important and we all need to learn to understand each other.

Since I have been at my university, I realized how important culture is. It makes us who we are; it decides what words, what mannerisms, and what actions and levels of physicality we have with other people.

I don't think I ever realized how much I have been exposed. I always thought that the people I have met are the same as me.

I guess, in a way, that is true.

After watching this video, which includes my せんせい, as well as some of my friends, I could not help but to cry. The message is so important. We all need to be exposed to the differences in the world. I cannot say how grateful I am to have met all of the people who are in my life. They all mean the world to me...

みなさん。。。とってもさみし。。。

We are all different... but we are all the same.
