Unique Identity from Having Multiple Backgrounds
Throughout my life, I think, I identified as Japanese, because that’s most of the – my growing period was spent in Japan, and the influence is very strong. But after I came to United States, it was difficult for me to decide, “Who am I?” you know, because I was born in Philippine, and then also Japanese, and then now I’m American, and it took me a long time to decide, “Okay, I’m going to be just my own citizenship. I’m all of it.” So – so that’s the only way that I could just live with my own background.
