a) I personally have never had that sort of experience, but a great example would actually be my grandfather, who when growing as a child could only speak Cajun French. Im sure he had the feeling of being pushed away when trying to learn to speek English in school.

b) It would definitely be a challenge in its own right. When home or at school were not expected to be as formal, or when we are wrong we don't necessarily make a big deal about it. However, when actually having to be familiar with the language in your career field things become rather difficult. For example, in Biology a student can not just memorize his notes and expect success especially when there can be over 300 different aspects that a student must learn.

c) Absolutely would "belonging" be important in my career field. I must have the proper knowlegde and insight on a particular topic to be considered a credited and reliable source. Having that proper knowlege would only benefit my success.
