　　Rina: Oh, yes.

　　Todd: So you really have two cultures. What's it like growing up with two cultures?

　　Rina: In the beginning it was very hard. My dad was very strict. I wasn't allowed to work. I had to fight to have my first job at 19.

　　Todd: Wow. At 19.

　　Rina: At 19. I wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend. I had to fight for that one too, and I had my first boyfriend at 18. Wasn't allowed to go out. First high school dance was grade 11. So, I hated it in the beginning. I was, but now I appreciate it and I know where my parents were coming from.

　　Todd: So, it this the standard Lebanese family type culture where daughters are not allowed to work?

　　Rina: Ah, yeah, my dad had basically believed that if I went out and worked I would, you know, be hit on by guys. It just wasn't a place for his daughter, and typically before, yeah, women don't work. They stay home. They took care of the kids. They, you know, it was a typical patriarchal society and my dad was very, very strict, and I spent a lot of my childhood pushing away my culture because of that.

　　Todd: And how do you feel about your culture now?

　　Rina: I'm very, very proud of it. I love it. It's nice to be different and I'm glad I get that chance to do that.

I went there and a lot of people shunned me basically, so.
