Journal Entry 25: Heritage Revisited

            When I think of how heritage benefits my life, I think of many different things and elements. I think one of the heritage that benefits me is the beliefs of life. I believe that one should never give up. This benefits when I deal with hard obstacles that will often make me feel sad and angry. Another heritage that benefits me is that one should always give in order to get something in return. In other words, you can't climb a ladder of success with your hands in your pockets. Another one is to respect the elder. When I see someone's grandfather or grandmother trying to find their grandchild at school, or when their grandchild treats them badly, I will want to cry and punch that kid. I show my respect with the elder people including my grandparent. But on the other hand, some heritages often get in my way. The most commonly heritage that gets in my way is my height. My mother is not very tall. So I got the heritage and so I am very short. I often get laugh at because of my size. My height also makes things very inconvenient. For example, sometimes I am too short to reach for a lot of things, or I can't play some sports or roller coasters because I am too short.
