Elizabeth Wong


Last Thursday, we read a story about Elizabeth Wong. It was her story about her struggle to become an All-American Girl. In my opinion, the story was very depressing and true. Elizabeth struggled to be like the people around her. The story was a eye-opener. If you look around our island, you'll see cultures falling apart. For example, Filipinos calling other Filipinos the word fob. I find it ridiculous when Filipinos from Guam go to the Philippines and continue to call them fob. That is a incorrect usage of the word. I find the term as a bad word. What is wrong with embracing your culture? What is wrong with speaking the language? What is wrong with being your culture? Everyone should embrace their culture. Without your culture, you would not be who you are today
