Zhao Zhuang, a rural neighborhood in Taiyuan, a second-tier city in China, is where I was born. Rather than shopping malls, theaters and indifferent neighbors always busy doing their jobs; farms, storytelling, and caring people were what I had to deal with. The rural neighborhood in a certain sense allowed me, a child of less than six years old, to talk to people of different age groups, ranging from one year old to eighty years old, and who have different life experiences, from people who have never had a job to those who have changed jobs several times over the course of their lives (AUTHOR). The atmosphere of the neighborhood makes me inclusive enough to feel comfortable and always curious to learn from others. In another way the environment reinforced gender scripts. Since agriculture is the main industry in rural areas of China, boys are expected to work in agriculture and girls are expected to stay at home to do housework. The idea of ​​doing gender took root in my mind until high school. My parents, a kindergarten teacher and a businessman without a BA diploma, belonged to a lower economic class, like most people who do not have a BA diploma (AUTHOR); they firmly believed in upward mobility financially, and so they sent me to my grandparents' house in the rural area 10 days after I was born to focus on their work. In Chinese culture, one of the social norms is that young people should take care of the elderly. Therefore, growing up with my grandparents, both my parents and people in the neighborhood kept reminding me that I had to take care of my grandparents within my ability. The process of social construction, which manifests itself through my consensus with my parents and the idea of ​​the neighborhood I need... middle of paper... entity, I learn to know that the model minority myth exists, and the party appears as a subculture in American colleges. Furthermore, being a woman but also Chinese, the intersectional identity challenged me to fight for the rights of both communities. Also, like everyone searching for an identity, a friend from high school came out as bisexual after coming to the United States. The fact convinced me that sexuality is a spectrum. I continue to pivot to be a better person at every stage of life, but I know that the reason I have the ability to pivot is because my parents worked hard to earn enough money. More money means more opportunities to travel; participate in programs that bring together young people from all over the world and increase cultural capital. Looking to the future, I know that problems like stereotypes will still exist, but I will learn how to eliminate them in OXY.
