One night, I ate some sticky rice that my mom made for me. But that night, my
sticky rice had pinto beans in it. So I asked my mom why she there were pinto
beans in the sticky rice and where she got them from since we never eat
it…then she showed me the craft my little brother made in VBS the day before.
She had ripped apart a shaker instrument my brother made (the one with the paper
plate folded in half, filled with beans, and embellished with ribbons and
marker). Yeah. I consumed beans from a VBS craft that was probably touched by
100 germy little hands. mylifeisasian=weeateverything

My mom offered to make spaghetti with marinara sauce today and so I got excited
since I wasn’t going to eat Asian food. Then I look in the sauce. She put tofu
in there. MLIAsian

As an Asian parent, I have high expectations of my children and both of my
children are high achievers, but both were able to socialize with friends and go
to things like sleep-overs. In an effort to get attention to sell a book, one of
our own paints an entire culture by her actions and simplistic explanations.
Being Asian is more than stories about rice cookers and ramen. Being Asian in
America is about finding a path that melds our cultural experiences with the
multiculturalism that is America. We can’t let one voice from one book or one
WSJ article define who we are! MLIA

In my AP Environmental Science class, we had an energy unit and a project about
household appliances. I was the only one who got data about a rice cooker. Turns
out, mine was very inefficient. I showed my mom and now we have a new one that
sings!!! BEST DAY EVER.
