“I Am What I Am” written by Nahida A. and Bilkis A.

I am what I am
I am American but I am proud of my origin
I am Bengali and I am proud of who I am
I am a person of mixed cultureI am a true Bengali-always and forever

I am a immigrant
And so am I
I am a city girl
I am a simple girl from the village

I like to party and have fun
I rather stay home and cook
I like to go to the movies with my friends
I prefer to spend time in my village

I am happy living in America
I want to go back to my country
My future is here in America
My life is in Bangladesh
