 When it comes to this course, there are many things that i things positively about and negatively about. One strength that i believe i will have this year, includes being able to complete the work on time every time. My Start to this year has definitely been very rocky overall for multiple reasons, however once settled i believe the work for this class, such as completing the blog everyday will not an issue. One challenge I believe i will suffer in this class includes, participation and engagement. Talking and participating in the class is something that i hate for many reasons, and this class (teacher) seems to be big on it.

Describe a meaningful family tradition unique to your culture and explain how it mirrors or contrasts with the cultural identity themes of expectations A meaningful tradition that my family has is going to sleep early everyday. In my house it is not normal to be noisy or talk to each other after 8-9pm.  This is a time when everyone should be focusing on themselves and making sure they are ready to have a good day tomorrow. This enforces the expectation that everyone in the household should be able to handle their own business and not cause any commotion.
