What Will Define Him at 21?

Just the other day while doing hours of community service at Jefferson Head Start, even though it is almost my last day, I heard some startling news that confused me a lot. One of the kids whose name is (can't say it) is moving to Pakistan for who knows what reason. He was born in San Francisco and his family moved to Hawaii a couple years ago before his birth. He is currently 4 years old. These are the golden years of his life where everything is fun, but he will probably never remember them. I have no idea what type of person I was, or what I did with my life before the age of 5. I guess as you get older, your younger years and the memories you accumulated over the years start to diminish. So this kid is always happy, and I enjoy his company, and he enjoys mine. He will probably not even remember me when he is like the age of 10, but I will remember him and all of the other kids at the head start program. The reason I brought up this issue is for one just the fact that it doesn't make much sense to move to a war torn country especially at this time. The family doesn't seem to have a purpose for their actions, so I don't know why they would want to jeopardize their kids lives by immersing them in a completely different culture and style of living. Pakistan is a 3rd world country and moving from Hawaii, one of the best states when it comes to tourism, to Pakistan just doesn't seem right for him. Them main reason why I wanted to comment on this was that the boy will probably define himself by the way he grows up in Pakistan rather than Hawaii. I have lived in Hawaii all of my life so I feel I have been influenced in the way I was raised to live and act a certain way. If I had moved at the age of 5 to Japan for instance, I would probably know life and all I had the way I was taught in Japan. I just want to know what he will call home when he is at the age of 21. Will he call the U.S. his home and that he is a foreigner in Pakistan, or will Pakistan be his place of origin, and his past experiences of Hawaii be lost?
