Read the following passage:

I didn't know how to act in our new home. I was sad and angry about being forced to move from our land. But at the same time I wanted to put on a brave face for my family and for my people. I wanted to cling to our pride and our traditions, but I also understood we were facing opponents who were clearly stronger and better equipped. Eventually, I realized that it would be better for us to abandon our traditions rather than to fight a losing battle. I completely embraced the new culture and have never looked back.
