This is my academic story of how I got to my major, my PhD program, and all of the failures I went through to get here. For those of you struggling in school or not quite sure what to do with your careers, ask yourself what it is that makes you happy and what it is you want to achieve.

Asian Americans are stereotyped as achieving academic success and that failure is shameful. I have failed many times in my life and hopefully my story can help some of you overcome your personal failures and find the resilience to achieve your goals!

If you are someone who is afraid of what other people think of your career choices or failures, you are not alone!

Grades do not and should not determine your success in life!
