Quintessentially American: Meet Ash from Sri Lanka

Hey everyone!  I apologize for not posting last Tuesday.  I had a rather hectic week.  I may need to readjust my posting schedule in the next couple of weeks as I am about to enter college.  I will keep you posted on that : )

During my senior year of high school, I had the pleasure of meeting this week’s Quintessentially American subject.  Ash’s story is particularly interesting as she not only experienced being an immigrant in the United States, but also in England.  She has such a diversified and intelligent perspective on culture and how it defines us as human beings.

I hope you enjoy and learn from her story as much as I did!

5 Spring Celebrations Around the World

To be honest, I never really look forward to spring.  For me, spring is the allergy-ridden season prolonging my desperate wait for the sweet, less pollinated, summertime.

Although spring is not a fun time for me, it is definitely symbolized as a joyous season around the world.  Spring is the time when the harsh cold subsides, allowing vegetation and flora to once again illuminate the earth with light, color and vitality.
