I totally understand your confusion of taking your shoes off. When I was little I would take off my shoes at other people’s houses and get strange looks.

I love how you keep your family’s culture and respect your family for it. The way you learned this at such a young age gave it a funny twist.

Jocelyn’s story shows how it is important to recognize how families, groups of people, and cultures do and experience things differently, and it is a sign of disrespect in many of these instances if one does not follow the rules or expectations of that particular family, group, or culture.

This was based off a point that some people would find odd or insignificant, but I liked how you connected it to a more important message that you feel strongly about.

From a Chinese family, it is law to take off your shoes at the front door. The kitchen only a few steps from the door. If I tried to walk over, I’ll get my butt kicked. If I’m not caught, the guilt builds up within me.

Very interesting story! Personally, I can’t stand it when people wear their shoes around the house. Very unfortunate.
