Author's Note - This assignment was probably the most difficult assignment for me to write because it was just too upsetting and a little disappointing for me to write about. I have a lot of speculation that a lot of my classmates perceive me as the typical South-Asian stereotype who always gets good grades and wants to probably major in something in the medical field. I’m sorry to say, but I am not a stereotype, I’m a person first. However, after getting my words down on the screen, it got easier and easier to write about. This assignment felt really refreshing. It was like a therapy session for to get out all my emotions in one giant essay without fumbling with my words. This is also the first time I wrote something in the person perspective. I’m not too keen with writing something or reading in first person. Urgh, the Twilight series, that series has totally destroyed my ideology of first person point of view. However, this assignment was new and exciting, I enjoyed being challenged and writing this assignment.

Blog Assignment # 7 Author's Note 2
I decided on several majors to make my family proud of me at first. It was either something in medical field because all my uncles and aunts from my mom’s side of the family are all doctors or nurses. My dad’s side of the family their all engineers or computer experts. Being stuck in the middle those two options were my only choices. However, being a doctor or computer expert isn’t me. I like to help people and I’m pretty tech savvy, but that’s not me. My real passion lies within a pen and a simple sheet of paper or blank word document. Writing is something that I’ve always been good at. I feel like I can’t escape it. My brain is always coming up with ideas that need to be put on paper right away. It was either be an English major or drop out of college. Dropping out of college is like the biggest sin a south-Asian child can ever make, so the only logical choice was to tell my parents that I want to be major in English. That was the most heart wrenching conversation I have ever had with my parents.
