My cultural identity is a defining factor in my life as it controls many of my actions and behaviours. For example; I can't drink or eat pork as it is forbidden in Islam. Pushes me to interact with a wider majority of people due to my Arabic speaking, reading and writing.

My cultural identity affects my relationship with Canadians positively as it gathers us to discuss our differences and teach each other, hence why part of my cultural identity is Canadian culture as I grew up in Canada from Grade 4.

Valuable skills:
Learned valuable skills to be able to adapt with different environments despite severe differences.
