My two identities brought together by Zakopane trip

I couldn't’t wait for our trip to Zakopane, not because it would be a fun trip, but because it was a part of me that I have never before had an opportunity to share with my American friends. It appears that I have these two lives/identities. One in Poland with a family, friends, and great memories. The other is in the US. It also consists of a family, friends, and great memories. However, I feel like I am two different people in these two different words. I act a little different, my friends are different, expectations and experiences are different as well. Thus, it was very important to me to be able to bring those two worlds together and see what will come out of it.
I am not going to describe how the trip went because we were all there and I think everyone has their own opinion about it. I had a great time. It was awesome to have everyone in the program at my house and hang out with my father. My crazy aunt said that those American girls are very nice and she cried when we were leaving. What does that mean? It means, I think, that our different identities don’t necessarily need to be separated just because they differ from each other. I think that it also means, that all of our identities are part of what I would call the “big identity”, identity which makes us who we are. Thus, my Polish, Catholic, European, Highlander, student, etc. Identities are building blocks of the “Big Agnieszka Identity”. The trouble is that sometimes some of the parts don’t fit together so perfectly; however, we are constantly evolving and changing so maybe with time we can make it all work.
