The Woman Warrior #2

Chinese are frugal and I admire that about them. The Chinese Americans are half American and half Chinese or full-blooded Chinese who grew up in America. I have friends who are Philippine American who are half and half like me or pure blooded pinoy, but they just grew up in America. Oftentimes Asians would rather have their children adopt the American way of life and make them forget their Asian heritage. I can speak all three languages english,tagalog and bisaya unlike my friends who are pure blooded. I am saying this because I can relate to the girls in the book. Last year , a friend of my mom told me to marry her son so he could come to America. She said that her son would pay for my college tuition if I married him because I have papers so I could petition him as my fiancee. My mom told me that it is my choice who I marry and no one can take that away. I am grateful for my mother for considering my happiness. Other Asian parents can be a lot worse. I would say that I am a perfect balance and enjoy both cultures.
