Hi! I was wondering if someone could help me. I am a graduate student in counseling, and I really want to learn about Armenian culture, and to learn what it is like to live in America!
I would appreciate it if you could just share with me whatever you want, or think would be helpful for me to know about what its like to be an Armenian in America!!
How long have you lived here? What has been the hardest thing about living here? What has surprised you? What is your family life like? Anything else you would like to share (religion, culture, views of counseling, etc)
Thank you so much, I look forward to hearing from you!

What has surprised me is how many Armenian buildings and organizations there are in California! 
My family life is pretty normal really... more boring though. As for religion, I go to Armenian Scouts on Sundays, so I only go to church on special occasions, really. I, for one, am extremely interested and part of my Armenian heritage and culture (which is why I'm here of course)! 
Armenian culture is also very interesting since it was one of the first cultures to exist, which is proven through archaeology and religion. (when I say religion, I mean Christian religion and the way I mean it is that since the Bible speaks of Noah's Ark, and it is believed [at least by Armenians] that Haig Nahabed, the forefather of Armenians, is a descendant of Noah, then that's how religion proves that). Sorry if I'm talking too much! 
Umm...I'll give you some info. I have been living in America my entire life and was raised in an eastern european neighborhood. The hardest thing, for me, in America was learning English. In my family the children learn Armenian first and when they are six years old and have to go to school they are taught English in school. What do you mean by " what has surprised you?"
My family life is really typical. We are super close to eachother and are a support group for one another. We like to keep in touch with our close and distant relatives and we eat a lot of meat
