Anything else you want to tell us?

Here is a piece of what may end up as my personal essay.

My years of growing up mixed.

My mom is Nepalese and my dad is Kashmiri. I don’t pass for a Kashmiri

well, with darkest hair and round facial features. But my mixed look has
definitely been complicated for me. I was 4 years old the first time I
realized that my father's face was nothing like mine and never would be. At
the age of 13, I was referred to by the C- slur for the first time and felt such
rage and confusion that I didn’t know how to react. My friend later
explained to me that it wasn't a big deal, every friend of mine said it behind
my back all the time.

Now 17, I have predominantly Kashmiri friends. I'm finally at the age where
I can recognize not only my privilege in being mixed, but my luck in finding
both types of people that I love and identify with.
