Have you heard of the concept of Third Culture Kids? It refers to a person who grew up in a culture different from the one their parents grew up in. 

I think there's an equal amount of positive and challenging experiences that come with being a third culture kid. But where I see most of them struggle is education. There's such immense pressure on immigrant kids to satisfy their parents' expectations when it comes to education and careers.
