Great six-word memoir
. I am sorry to hear your family was forced out of their home from the fights that erupted. Like your family, most have moved to the US for security reasons and seek opportunities and a better future. I love your six-words memoirs; I’m not angry, I’m just pakhtun., Moving Forward is what Immigrants do, and Refugees aren’t burdens, they are investments moreso because they connect with your experience. I have also learned some vital things from your memoirs that will help me understand afghans and not make quick judgments about their personalities. I am also happy to hear that you have made great progress since you arrived in America, and you are eager to see your parents who sacrificed a lot for you and your kids have a better future. Again, great post!
Hello Kristi,
Great post! It is sometimes hard to trace generations and their originality and identity. I am glad that you are proud of your identity. It is also vital that you have talked about the pronunciation of your last name. This is because some people would be offended if their name is pronounced otherwise. I am also glad that you have tried to uncover some of your history and ancestry. Indeed, some people may be forced to live what may be termed a double standard life just like what you have literally explained about your Phillipino and Korean friends using forks at school and chopsticks at home. I am also impressed that you have chosen your favorite six-words memoir based on your experiences, which altogether make it exciting. However, I would request you to look at your Six-words (Mysterious Pasts and Pride) again. I believe the number of total words should be six, and thus the name “six-words.” Yours are four. Thank you
