After understanding the deeply intricate situation that minority students face at the UC campus, I decided to create a brief poem and record myself reading said poem that captures the complication between the stereotypical "Model Minority" of academia and the "Yellow Peril" of American socio-economics.
The overall notion that the Asian American minority and their inclusion at the UCSD campus as both a separate entity treated as both greater than their fellow peers and lesser for their supposedly hyper-visibility is one that creates confusion among those that fail to realize the duality, and it is through my poem that I hope to shed some light on such issue, the way I see it at UCSD. - Creation Date

I'm a student who has a firm belief in changing the world for the better, seeking improvement through science and philosophy, research and emotion. Taught to be a positive example for everyone, I've decided to further my attempt at change through my work in both research and motivational messaging.
