As the years go by, things become more familiar. I have relaxed, opened up, and discovered America. I find out that Americans are just as helpful and friendly as Indians, and that friendship overcomes cultural differences. It has been three years since I came to Bethel. Through those years I have learned to think like Americans, and spell like they do. However, I am still an Indian at heart and will never be completely Americanized. That is why I want to return to India — the land of jungles, elephants, snakes, cows, and grass huts The India that I know is also a land of the snow-capped Himalayas, roaring rivers, and people who need Christ It is a land of diverse and ancient traditions, cultures, and languages. THANCICHHANCTF Hey, I'd like to go home with you ' several friends have said. These friends are Americans who have learned to say my name right, and put up with my crazy Indian-ways.

ONE IN A CROWD Hi! What's your name? Thangi. Tiny? That's a cute name. Where are you from? India. Isn't that somewhere near Bangladesh? That's what my first few days at Bethel sounded like. Looking back, I think the problems I faced my freshman year were caused by feelings of insecurity. I felt that I was treated differently because I was from another race and culture. As a result. I was offended easily. I was also confused because I didn't want to lose my Indian culture by becoming Americanized. At the same time. I realized that I could not adjust without adapting. Adjusting did not come easy. I was used to thinking that the American way of doing things was not always right. For instance, I had been taught that the only correct way of spelling check was cheque. Such spelling mistakes really bothered me at first, but I gradually got accustomed to them.
