Lotus A mature perspective on fitting in or standing out and ultimately being yourself from our budding

young member Niharika.

In many cultures, the lotus flower is regarded as a subtle symbol of self-regeneration or enlightenment. Lotuses are beautiful creations of nature, and I believe we are all, in some ways, comparable to them.

When I was little, I used to wonder, Where do I belong? See, I was born in India, but I moved to the U.S. when I was one. Ive moved thirteen times since then, so naturally I didnt feel like I fit into a specific place.

I grew up in the suburbs, and most of the schools I went to didnt contain the most diverse populations. Throughout elementary school, I was incredibly insecure and uncomfortable with myself because I felt like I stood out amongst my peers. During these years, Id regularly hear ridiculous questions such as So, you guys, like, all live in slums, right? and Whats it like riding an elephant to school?

I quickly found myself getting embarrassed about listening to Indian music, watching Bollywood movies, and eating food from my own culture. The firstand lasttime that I brought Indian food to school for lunch, all my friends at the lunch table crinkled their noses and asked, Ew, what is that? Its grose! When my family would go to our Indian festivals, Id try and hide myself from non-Indians because I didnt want them to see me in my ethnic clothes. I even refused to speak to my parents in our native language when we were in public for fear of being judged by those around me.

When I was in the sixth grade, I moved to a school that contained about the same students as Mounds View (my current school), of which three (including myself) were non-white. This made my self-esteem plummet even further. The most prominent difference I had begun to see between myself and my peers was the color of my skin. I used to wish that my skin and hair and eyes would become lighter so that I could fit in, and this wasnt helped by the existence of Indian products such as Fair & Lovely Skin Lightening Creamget lighter skin in just five days! I was at a point where I was ashamed of my own heritage and would try to hide it, all because I was afraid of being different.

Things werent much better for me in India, where wed go every other year to visit. My sister and I were the two odd children in the family, seeing as we lived outside the country. Our relatives would make fun of our mixed accents, and naughtily correct every single grammatical error we made in our Indian language. My summers were filled with fast-food jokes and jabs at our overly-Americanized language, and I was on the receiving end of countless judgmental looks. Once, when I was ten, I went hiking with some of my cousins, and the whole trip was filled with jokes about how I couldnt handle climbing up a mountain because there was no Burger King or shopping mall at the top. I hated spending time with my extended family because, all they would do was tease us.

The lotus flower begins as a bud under muddy, shallow, and dark waters. It remains in a sort of confused state for the beginning of its life, stuck as a bud, yet to bloom. But when the lotus gains nourishment from the murky water and rises toward the sunlight, it finds itself and begins to blossom. In recent years, Ive begun to disregard other peoples opinions of me. I dont want others thoughts to control the way I live my life. I want to declare my independence from my previous unwillingness to accept and embrace my heritage out of fear of harsh judgment by others. I shouldnt care how others perceive me, because my culture is a part of who I am. It is something I cannot and will not try to change. I am no longer the insecure, confused girl I used to be. I am a lotus.
