Linda's Interview
John: How has your cultural background influenced your educational experience?
Linda: My cultural back did not influence my education. People with the same culture surrounded me. Everyone understood each
other because we had the same culture. So not that much.
John: How do you promote equity and equality in your daily life?
Linda: By treating everyone the same. I engage with people based on their thoughts rather than their skin color or identifiers.
John: How does age impact your goals and aspirations in life?
Linda: Since I'm young, I have had a lot of opportunities. Being in my 20s, I have a lot of good things in my future.
John: How has your race affected your personal experiences and interactions with others?
Linda: It's been a good experience because I am surrounded by people who have the same culture and are Asian and Filipino.
However, since I am half Caucasian, there would be times when I was around Filipino people, but I did not wholly relate because
they were born in the Philippines while I was born in America.
John: In what ways have you been affected by stereotypes and prejudice in your life?
Linda: I have not been affected by stereotypes, but I have been affected by prejudice. It mostly happened in my childhood. Older
and bigger kids would pick on me because I was smaller. I did not think about their race then because I was a kid, but they were
mostly Hawaiians, and I was a tiny Asian.
John: What challenges do individuals with exceptionalities face in educational and workplace settings?
Linda: If you are talking about performance exceptionalities, then the only challenge they face is jealous people who want their
performance.
John: How has your linguistic background impacted your ability to succeed in various aspects of life?
Linda: When we are younger, we learn English and reading. Reading and writing are essential and beneficial for succeeding in life.
John: How has your national origin shaped your perspective on life and society?
Linda: By nationality, I am American. Since I haven't visited the Philippines, I mainly focus on what America offers, such as our
rights and constitution. I am focused on the history of America because that is where I live, and that's where my nationality lies. I
think knowing our rights makes me want to educate others who are in America.
John: How does religion influence your values and beliefs?
Linda: My faith impacts my life and values the most because it humbles me to be a big part of Christianity. My religion helps me
to be more graceful towards people but also convicting. No matter what, the lord will do his will in my life as long I am obedient.
John: How does gender identity/expression affect your experiences and interactions with others?
Linda: As a biological woman, it makes me want to be more feminine. I grew up being more masculine, but as I got older, I wanted
to be more feminine because I did not want to fit in with the current state of femininity that is so masculine these days.
John: In what ways do people who identify as LGBTQ+ experience discrimination and prejudice?
Linda: As someone who is not LGBTQ+, I am not entirely sure what their experience is like because I am not LGBTQ+.
John: How can we create a more inclusive and accepting society for individuals of all backgrounds and identities?
Linda: I value people on their diversity of thought rather than their skin color. When we focus on skin color and identity and give
people incentives for their identity and expression, we focus on something other than the person's essence. Even if it's in goodwill,
it's still discriminatory.
