What makes you unique?

This week during class we talked about subculture, and how it's apart of a larger culture but it has certain unique aspects. What makes Chicago different from other cities is that we're very involved in sports. Most Americans are either true die hard fans of watching sports on T.V, do it out of enjoyment, or have been sticking to it consistently for many years. However, I fall under the third category. I've been doing Tae Kwon Do since I was three years old and haven't stopped. As you may or may not know, Tae Kwon Do is an Olympic sport that has become generally popular over the past few years. Some examples that make it more unique would be the language. Each kick has it's own terminology, so does each stance, and the positions you should be in. Whenever your sparring another individual, you have a coach on the sidelines that talks you through each fight and this language is only understood by anyone that's involved in Tae Kwon Do. Outsiders listening in on the different language would assume or  misinterpret the slang terminology. Another aspect that sets Tae Kwon Do apart from different sports would be the values. For school, some values would be going to college, getting good grades, or being competitive towards other schools. But a few examples for Tae Kwon Do values would be self discipline, respect, and setting specific goals for yourself. This taught me to be mindful because each large culture has little subcultures that are either harder to adapt to or something that varies from your own mindset. What may be strange to you, may be the norm for someone else.
