My name is Sally Zhu. I am a young, heterosexual, Chinese American female student of a working class background. Being Chinese, I see myself as a person of color. I’m humble and too modest at times, but I’m learning to find my voice.I am a strong believer in identity. In figuring out what my identity, your identity and a people's identity can be. So what I do is I think a lot, I doubt I lot, I judge a lot, and, still, I don't know a lot.But one of the reasons why I try to break myself down to those things is because I feel I never look at some of these things as a part of me. Like, I currently strongly focus on race and ethnicity, being an Asian American Studies Major. But my being a female escapes me, yet I spend hella time doing my hair or changing clothes. Or my sexuality. Or even my ability to walk. I guess I figured if I tried to separate these aspects of my life, I'd eventually figure out the whole that is me.I guess the most important part about me and why I do what I do is because I'm just another lost person, trying to figure out who I am in the context of the great world around me.
No matter what kind of color you have. What is your own value of your life? I am a Chinese too. But, I think my thought is a mixture from different culture.
