My piece is a series of short essays and stories exploring cultural disconnect, identity, and their connections with language. Through these fragments of my life, I detail my conflicts with the “language proficiency” section of an application, and why it’s so hard for me to fill out.
But, at its core, it is also a story of hope, and a reminder of the beauty within our complexities.
