Have you ever heard of a myth that you actually believed?

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would like to go to travel back 70 years ago to the Philippines. The Philippines has always interested me because my great grandfather came from there. He said he left because according to his religion, every first born male child must become a priest. My great grandfather didn’t want that, he wanted to have a family. His family didn’t approve of that, so instead, he snuck over to America. Hearing stories about how my great grandfather grew up, I think it would be interesting to see how life was for him while he was growing. Hearing how religion can have such an impact on someone, I think it would be fun and exciting to see how life was for him about 70 years ago. I think it would be interesting to see how different the culture is there.
