Meet Jincy Varughese.
"My family is from India. I was born there and came here when I was 4. I actually went to India with my sister for the first time two years ago, and rode an elephant. My goal was to ride an elephant, and that's all I wanted to do! I went without my mom which was a very bad decision. I stayed for a month and lived with my grandmom, uncle, and aunt. They're older so they're very traditional. Culturally speaking, it's very different. It wasn't the most pleasant experience; they're just a lot more modest there. It was the middle of summer so you had to cover up or it would be considered inappropriate, and it got really hot. They really wanted us to wear traditional clothes so it brought up lots of discussions. I ended up calling my mom a lot because she has adapted to the American culture more so than my father and other relatives. Most of the time I wound up wearing what I wanted to! I was raised here, so I like it here a lot better!" - Jincy
