Question:

As an Asian American, am I more Asian or American?

________

Consider the Beijing Winter Olympics. Eileen Gu who was born and raised in America represented China, yet Nathan Chen, who was also

born and raised in America, decided to represent the United States. Why?

It’s because in the past, someone else defined whether you were more American or Asian - your peers, your neighbors or the government. But today, one’s identity is much more of a personal journey based on self determination. Though one cannot change the opinion of others, it is up to you to decide who you are. Before, there were laws that perpetuated racist treatment and prevented them from having a choice. Now, in the present, the difference is that it comes down to choice.

This is Samantha, Jeremy's younger, middle sister. Since omicron slowed down, tourism is speeding up. So of course I'm headed to White Sands . . . National Park, that is. It's not a beach but a sand dune.

Scientists recently found fossilized footprints dated 23,000 years ago here at White Sands. This is several thousand years earlier than thought.

Why does White Sands have the earliest evidence of humans in North America? Do you want to learn about what lives in these dunes? Then come join me, Samantha, and let’s enjoy the white sands of Hawaii . . . no! Florida . . . no! New Mexico! IN REAL LIFE!

Hi, this is Madeline, Jeremy’s younger sister. I’m in California’s Death Valley National Park, the hottest, driest, and lowest place on Earth. I’ve found one place COVID’s omicron variant can’t catch me! 

Death Valley is the largest national park outside of Alaska and 282 feet BELOW sea level. Its unique landscape is famous for being Luke Skywalker's home planet Tatooine in the original Star Wars trilogy.

So, is there only death in this valley? Do you want to learn about finding life in barren places? 

Then come join me, Madeline, to explore the hottest, driest, and lowest part of Earth! IN REAL LIFE!

Hey everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! I’m here in central Texas at McKinney Roughs, a 1,100 acre nature park that is home to four different ecosystems. I’m learning multiple interesting survival facts, from a friend who likes to call himself Eli the Nature Guy. He is an environmentalist who loves telling others about nature tips and how to survive in the wild. He helped me learn so many things, like how to filter drinkable water, what to eat when lost in the woods, how to make a fire, and how to build a shelter.

So, what are we doing in this episode? We’re going to learn about the top three most important things to do first in the wild if you are lost, and finding food isn’t one of them. Then we’ll learn more about surviving as I give you some survival tips and tricks. So sit back and relax while you can, because believe me, trying to survive in the wild won’t have air conditioned comfort.

Hi everyone! I’m here in Zion National Park, which is located in southwestern Utah just above the Arizona border. It’s renowned for its towering, red-rock cliffs and river canyon. It is one of the most popular US parks, due to a paved road in the heart of the steep canyon that affords easy access to lookouts, hiking and canyoneering, diverse lodging and dining options in the nearby town of Springdale, and proximity to Las Vegas. Sounds like a winner to me!

In this episode I’m going to talk about the SLUE process that is happening in all the geological structures in Utah and I’m going to end with a special bloopers segment to get you listeners behind the scenes with me! 

Thanks to Ranger Mike, Ranger Seth, and Ranger Eric for helping me with my podcast by teaching my sisters and me so many new things!
