I tried to understand and this what I came up with...

Here are my final thoughts...it is interesting to note how many cultures there are and how many there are in Vancouver. Many people come from all over the world to Canada and by doing this they inadvertently add a hyphen to their life. Even the people in this blog group with me are all of different ethnic backgrounds. The aspect that each person comes from many different backgrounds and different expectations but we all come together in one city, or school and get exposed to these aspects and share our lives with others is great. I like to think that even though we are established with different backgrounds we can all just be ourselves and establish new hyphens in our lives by the different people we meet and sometime sit can be hard but you got to fight through it. Sometimes it can be hard living up to expectations and wanting to just be your own person but the I think the hyphens in ones life allow one to grow and these links are a good thing even if they can sometimes be hard to understand. Hyphenated life is more than just cultural diversity it’s about making links to establish oneself in the world. I hope that this makes sense because I’m really still trying to grasp this concept but I feel I have and basically tried to understand my self a bit better.
