In my experience with my placement student from Bangladesh, multiple images came to my mind. The first came when I discovered her love of reading and books, which she would later tell me was a big part of the culture of her country. I also made the assumption that she would be connected to the religion of Hinduism or Islam, which I discovered was the later. I also found that her and her family still enjoyed eating traditional Indian food from time to time, showing again her family's connection to their original culture at home. These connections with her home are important for helping her remember who she is and where she comes from, especially while living in a country that is filled with such diversity in culture.
