German Swiss, And Proud Of It! Oh And I Heart Lebanon!

Here's to all you German people and Swiss people! That's my Dad's side of the family. My Mom's side is a little bit of Native American, some French, and some Pennsylvania Dutch. I guess you could call me a Heinz 57. 

Basically, I come from all over the world, which means that I am very intrigued by all different types of cultures. There is one culture I am very interested in at the moment. I had a friend named Jad from Lebanon, he is our foreign exchange student this year, and he is really cool! He is a Muslim and I am a Christian, so I always like to hear his perspective on things in class, what his culture believes, and stuff like that. He is really interesting!

I am taking a Social Issues class at the moment, so we talk a lot about touchy subjects, like race and religion. It's really a wonderful experience to be able to open your mind to a different point of view. We actually watched The Office today, and the episode was called Diversity Day. You'd have to have watched it to understand why it ties in with Social Issues.
