Aragorn, boromir
Aragorn: What is your heritage? Do you embrace or reject it?
omg...I used to be one of those really annoying “I’m X% this, Y% that, Z% some etc etc” but then i realized that it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t affect my life in any way. I’m white. I am several shades of white. I do embrace the heritages that I am most (German, Sicilian, English) just because they are the “important” ones to me. My last name is German so...that’s a given.. But my Sicilian and English are important to me because of how close they are. My grandparents immigrated so I am the second generation born here and that just seems special.
Boromir: Did your father leave an impact on your life?
My father is still a huge impact on my life. He is the reason I love science so much. I feel like, when I declared as a history major, I was letting him down. He always told me I would be the first woman on Mars. We share science books and watch documentaries together still but I know it was really hard on him when I said I couldn’t be a chemical engineer any more. But he has always instilled in me a love for science and a curiosity for the world. He taught me about the stars, and plants, and how a car works. I love my dad.
