I'm sure you'll blend in fine, and seamlessly, and that they will respect & appreciate you, for much the same reasons (as your views & feelings on them, and the environment, overall). As it will stand: above all else; I hopefully believe, is that who you are as a person, and your work ethic, etc. is where your proof will be in the putting, or however that saying goes? So hopefully you get - & know, what I mean! ;D I think you'll be great! And have a wonderful opportunity to shine. I remember one time, first time living away from college town, bigger city, second removed from even smaller first home town (w/college sort of being in the middle). But so up to that point, my experience with others, pretty much any where, had been 99.9% white. So that is basically all I knew or know. And so when I went to work at this restaurant, among half the staff being Mexican, and some of them not even speaking English (you soon learn the value of non verbal or unspoken communication). But also, there were I believe, 4 others who looked like me. And were like me, in that they were raised here as well. But all from different original countries. So anyways, there was some initial, "shock-value." Just in terms of like. . . How do I say anything to them? What am I supposed to do? Or I just don't know what to say to them (something like that, I'm forgetting in the many, many intervening years, exactly those lightening bolt three-first thoughts that zipped n' zapped their way through my mind, as I walked from dining room to kitchen, where 'some of them,' stood. Oh, dear??? ;D (but so anyway, it was all fine & good, and so you just sort of come to find out, that nobody end of the day, for the most part gives a care, it's more about, what can I, or you, do for them. How is your performance. Are you trustworthy, what kind of a person are you? Etc. Fun to be around, and I could go on but why? This conversation should be going in reverse if we're talking work history, relevance, and experience, etc. So, I'll leave it there. Unless you tempt me furth3er~ ha!*
