My mother ran a daycare from home, so there were loads of toys and interactive items to hold my attention; however, all I wanted to do was sit on my Mom's lap while she read to me. I developed the sentence, "Momma read me," and I never stopped being read to.

The very first book I read on my own was "Clifford the Small Red Puppy" on my own, and the praise I received from my parents was stupendous! I could not put books down after that experience.

In third grade I fell in love with writing fictional stories. I would write long twelve page stories even at such a young age. Somebody (I can not even remember who) teased me for loving writing, so I learned "smart" people are not cool. Later that year, I purposefully failed the tryouts for the Spelling Bee competition.

I began junior high, and began getting sick and hating school at the same time. While in the hospital I would read, write, and draw. I was hospitalized quite a bit, and when I turned eight-teen, I was diagnosed with Leukemia. I began finding comfort in works of literature about the protagonist being diagnosed with some form of Leukemia.

After I beat Leukemia I entered college. I found that through my experience I wanted to be a teacher to Special Education students; however, my mind was changed after a year of college. I had fallen in love with reading and writing all over again.

In Dr. Mandaville's class English Seminar class, she asked her students create a comic book. I dived into the comic book with such passion, that I now want to collaborate with an artist to create a more in depth version of this comic book.

In my Junior year of college at Fresno State, I began to realize the little bit of representation that Asian Literature had in the classroom. I spoke out about this in a paper that I was allowed to present at the UCLMA Conference that Fresno State hosts. I was fortunate enough to be on the panel that spoke out for minorities. After going through and editing this paper a million times (26 to be exact), I learned the phrase that Sr. Mandaville used to say, "the paper is never done, it's just due."

I love reading and writing, and after learning so much about it through my studies, I want to pass my knowledge and passion onto my future students. I hope that I learn patience and understanding with them, as well as how to guide and lead them to the best possible outcomes in their lives.

It is fortunate for me because other than kindergarten, I never struggled to read or write. In college I had a professor who gave me very negative feedback, and a score of 72/100 on an assignment. I learned from that low score and tried again, I received an 80/100 on the last one. It was a difficult lesson to learn, but I learned that there is a lot I still need to learn.
