Acceptance or conviction that something exists or is true, frequently in the absence of concrete evidence, is what is referred to as a belief. The majority of these ideas stem from a person's past. As a child, my cultural heritage provided me with a solid basis upon which to build my sense of self. The rich tapestry of my cultural history has woven together every part of my upbringing, from the traditions that defined our everyday lives to the dietary habits, religious beliefs, and personal traits that have been passed down through the ages. My cultural identity is based on my close ties to my heritage, which are shaped by the traditions and rituals that permeate our daily life. The two most important lessons my parents instilled in me were respect and kindness. They also taught me the importance of knowing the right things to say to people and how to acknowledge and apologize to others when I have done something that offends them. These lessons have helped me to understand that I should be quiet if I have nothing nice to say or if I have offended someone, I should apologize without trying to gaslight them or justify my actions. However, I learned from all of that that I should also speak up for myself, but I should attempt to do so in a composed and courteous way.
