1. What do you see in the mirror?
I have Chinese, Mexican, and Scotland blood from my Mom and
I have Japanese and Salt Lake blood from my Dad, indeed, but everytime I look
at the mirror, I realize that mostly, I have an Asian face. My teacher, Judy,
once said that I’m an oriental woman back then. She said that when she asked me
to make a friend with Hai, a Viatnamese. However, at that time I tried to
denial it. I thought I was not like her, but days after days I realized that
I’m an oriental.
2. Where are you in your world?
Everyone try to tell me that I’m from Westside. In Westside,
I helped my father in Pharmacy. But lately, I’m beginning to looking for who I
really am. I went outside Westside, I went to collage by EOP (Ethnic
Opportunity Progam), I dropped out from college, but I got a special
certificate to teach, because no one else would teach Twelve o’ Clock High, the
class for losers. I never thought my students are losers, they just lazy. In
school, I met Rosie who has dramatic story.
3. What do you see when you see Kali?
Reminiscing the old days, Kali is someone that I used to
love. He was my boyfriend when I was on the Westside. He was the one who taught
me how to surf, he was the one who always helped me when I’m starting drowning
at the sea. I remember the first time I called him boyfriend was when Kali
celebrate his 14th birthday, we went to the beach because we heard there were
six footers down on Hunington. It was dangerous, I’ve told Kali. Kali almost
drowning at that time, I shouted to the life guard “No! He’s drowning. And he’s
my boy friend!”. Kali and I used to love each other, but everything changes
when we went to Long Beach Polytechnic High School. Kali said to everyone in
Westside, we are getting married, but I didn’t want to marry him, or anyone
else that time, and he was upset to me, so did I. Maybe, when we grew up, our
love was just grew apart. I used to love Kali, but people change, so do I, and
the changing of me, change my love to Kali too.
