At about 4, I learned my brother got mocked for speaking Chinese. That's when I knew that being Chinese wasn't 'okay'. I've grown up since then, and learned that being Chinese is apart of my skin and learned to be proud of it. Some seem to have it all, but we all try to be someone and something in the worlds that we create and devote or time into. I'm one of those that's grasping at the edge of the cliff to stay on, though things have been hardest.
