"Where are you from?" "Where are you REALLY from?" "What are you?" For Sharon Jiae Kim, Executive Director of the nonprofit Mustard Seed Generation, these are common questions she is asked as a third culture person. Third culture individuals grow up in a different culture than that of their parents. Sharon's parents are Korean, but she grew up in Paraguay, Spain, and China, but now lives in America. Having such a unique cultural experience brings about not only an open mindedness to race and diversity but also a challenge to find a sense of belonging. So maybe the real question that needs to be asked is "Where do you call home?" and what home really means.
