'My identity as Asian means a lot to me, but the label also represents just a small part of who I am.'
My identity as Asian means a lot to me, but the label also represents just a small part of who I am.
Being told that everything I knew was wrong felt as if someone had ripped part of me away. After this, I tried not to let the ‘Asian’ label define me, but that didn’t mean no one else did. For Asian people, responsibility and respect for elders and family are very much part of our DNA. Towing the line, not breaking rules and honouring one’s family are of vital importance.
School teachers assumed I would choose the sciences. Employers assumed I would be demure and sit quietly and not push back if I disagreed. Yeah right!
