3 things that I am grateful for today would be-
1. Loving parents and friends
2. A roof above my head and good food to eat
3. The peace that I have attained after so long.
My country has people with different beliefs and different festivals which makes it quite diverse. So we are quite warm and welcoming and thus it has created a path for me to voice my opinions. A lot of people have also supported me when I was going through a tough time and that helped me to remain brave.
3 things I'm grateful for:
1) Being able to use a computer
2) Being able to help others in some way
3) Charachters in stories that make me feel less alone
How my culture has positively influenced my self-esteem:
There are a lot of cultures I would consider "my culture".
American culture, white culture, Jewish culture, queer culture, leftist culture, and disablility culture have all contributed significantly to how I see myself and the world. I imagine there's more beyond that too.
I think the greatest contribution is the belief that humans are all valid and worthy of love and care and belonging and having their basic needs met. This is a big part of what I take from Jewish culture, queer culture, leftist culture, and disability culture. It's a fundamental belief in subcultures within each of those cultures that has impacted me greatly in wonderful ways. Interestingly, American culture and white culture mostly believe the opposite, and I've rejected them in many ways because of this but I know that I'm still a part of them and that they still impact how I relate to myself and the world. I think we're all multi-cultural people in some ways (at least those of us who are here because we have access to the internet!) and I know I personally struggle with these contradicting cultural values sometimes.

1. Three things I am positively grateful for today:
i) Being alive
ii) Having a family
iii) Having food and shelter
2) My culture has not positively influenced my self esteem. It has lowered my self esteem through being utterly judgemental and ignorant
3 things I am grateful for:
-My health
-My living situation
-My friends and family :)
I think my culture (Canadian) has positively influenced my self esteem because we're known as being fairly friendly (if overly apologetic), which is absolutely true of me!
- My family and friends, great and inspiring artists, living in a country where there is no war (which is something so precious and often underestimated)
- If by culture you mean national cultures, the Italian culture is very focused on art in many forms. Art gives me life. It never fails to make me feel great and live the best emotions!
3 things that I am grateful for today would be-
1. Loving parents and friends
2. Great mod team/Mentor

My country has same amazing beliefs and help me through my daily life
1. List 3 things you are grateful for today.

This self-esteem activity
3. How has your culture positively influenced your self-esteem?
I am not sure how to best answer this question, however I am from two cultures as I am native to one country and migrated to another, but spent majority of life in the latter. I dont think I was positively influenced in the country which I reside, because there is great division in communities. One of the biggest culture shock for me, when i immigrated. And it is where I first learned of discrimination and racisim. I did not know of these social terms previously. The country which i came from there is unity, across from my home there is a Hindu temple, a masjid and a church. We celebrated each others religious holidays, and they were national holidays as well. Our language is a mixture of English, West African languages, Spanish, French, French Creole, Hindi, and Bhojpuri. We are a multi-racial, mutli-ethnic, and multi-cultural nation. I can recall my neighbour whos great grandparents were Chinese would bring us pao(bao), I went to my Hindu family for Divali, and I also have family with a Hispanic background. The Spanish culture is something our nation experiences during X-mas time, we make pastelles and and sing songs in Spanish(despite not being a Spanish speaking country). Though we have these different ancestral backgrounds we speak the same language and our food is unique because everyone cooks the same thing regardless of where in the world it originates from. My nation is one that I wouldnt trade for in the world. Its something which cannot be explained but experienced. I think the uniqueness of where and how i grew up allows me to connect easier with others, but not always. How all of this ties in with my self-esteem, Im not sure. Thank you for allowing me to share a part of me which makes me, PetiteSouris.
