Introduction

My name is Grace Weaver, and I am a first year here at the college. I have not declared a major yet, and am enjoying exploring different types of classes. I took this class because I love to read, and I am fascinated by different cultures. Having grown up in a small town in Pennsylvania, I have not had as much experience with actually living in a multicultural society as I would like. Because of that, I try to take every opportunity I can get to educate myself on the current issues in our country. Cultural borders are some of the most difficult to cross simply because they are neither visible nor stationary. They are also one of the most important type of gaps to bridge in order to live in successful and healthy community.
