About Me
Celery Caraway is a TCK
A third culture kid is a person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside their parents’ culture. The third culture kid builds relationships to all the cultures, while not having full ownership in any. Although elements from each culture are assimilated into the third culture kid’s life experience, the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of the same background, other TCKs.”
♦ “Where are you from?” has more than one reasonable answer. ♦ You’ve said that you’re from foreign country X, and (if you live in America) your audience has asked you which US state X is in. ♦ You flew before you could walk. ♦ You feel odd being in the ethnic majority. ♦ You have a passport but no driver’s license. ♦ You go into culture shock upon returning to your “home” country. ♦ Your life story uses the phrase “Then we moved to…” three (or four, or five…) times. ♦ You wince when people mispronounce foreign words.
