My 1st Bayan blog

I am writing this blog to learn more about the filipino culture. After doing the first essay of the class which was an identity essay I learned a lot about my identity. I have grown up a lot and realized a lot about myself but I truely don't know myself deep. I am not a procrastinator no more because of this class. Taking this class was a great choice because I think it's really interesting learning about the Filipino American studies. So little time in this class and I already learned a lot about their culture. They are really family oriented and I learned that their language is similar to spanish. Also, another great thing I have learned from being in this class is that they were the first documented in the U.S. Even though I am Mexican and not Filipino I really like learning about different cultures instead of just mine. I highly suggest everyone to study and learn about the Filipino-American culture. You can start learning by getting Kevin L. Nadal book, "Filipino American Psychology." That book teaches you so much and it's def. not one of those boring books you want to just throw away, it's the type of book you don't want to put down.
