Hello World! This week I am bringing you part 2 of my experience growing up American Born Chinese. I will talk about my high school experience and how college has changed the way I look at my own culture. College has helped me be more comfortable in my own skin, more comfortable with my Chinese background, and just be myself. Tune in as I elaborate a little more on my ABC experience.

Hello World! I am back with a new episode this week. Was MIA last week because I was busy with grad school and needed some time to study for a big comprehensive exam, which I passed! I am back this week sharing my story of growing up ABC. ABC stands for American Born Chinese. Tune in as I talk about my own story of growing up Fuzhounese with parents that owned a Chinese restaurant during my younger ages of my childhood and some things that I experienced as a kid just because I am Chinese.

Hello World! Lunar New Year is coming up, February 12, 2021!!! Some know it as Chinese New Year, but it is celebrated in many Asian cultures. It is based off of the Lunar calendar hence the name. Whether you are Asian or not it is nice to learn a little about this big holiday. Join me as I share some traditions and festivities of Lunar New Year. I will also be sharing some things that my family did growing up Chinese-American though it was probably not much compared to other families.

Baggage? What is it and how do people deal with it? I am not talking about baggage that you pack for a vacation, but more about the things that we carry around with us that people don't see. The stories, the history, and our experiences that we carry with us. Most of the time we can't see the baggage that people carry with them with the naked eye because it's not something that we wear or show to others. 
Many people don't share their history and past. Baggage is something that is from within and something that shapes a person to how they are right now in the present. Give this episode a listen as I share a little bit about me and some things that I carry around with me and how to unload some baggage that you might have right now that may be weighing you down.

Vulnerability has been a something that I know I lack and many people do. So what is vulnerability and why do so many of us struggle with it? How do you know if you don't practice it and how is it beneficial to you?  Vulnerability is the willingness to show emotion or to allow one's weakness to be seen or known; willingness to risk being hurt or attacked. Tune in to understand vulnerability and how it affects us and how it will be beneficial when you do practice!

There are so many chapters in our lives and my undergrad years of my college career is a huge chapter of mine. Being in my last semester of my Master's right now, I always look back on the last four years and the memories from it. Changing from the person I was coming out of high school to the person I am today. The different people that have come and gone in and out and my life through these years. It's hard not to think back on what has happened these past years. 
If I could go back in time, I would do somethings differently. There are so many things that could have turned out differently and I could be a different person today. Personally, I believe that everything happens for a reason and everyone comes in your life for a reason either that be good or bad. Thinking about my undergrad years I'd tell myself to step out of my comfort zone and be less selfish. 
College is a time to experiment and explore the endless possibilities. It's a time to find yourself and find your passion. It is also a time to find those meaningful, real, and long-lasting friends. It's the time to not have to worry about others things but just what is going on right then and there.
