Asian Parents usually have high expectations. They’re also STRICT AF.

Did you grow up with ambitions like being a doctor, a fireman, or an engineer?  “This one cannot, that one cannot, you must study hard if not you’ll be a chicken rice seller” or some random power statement you faced while growing up?

Growing up as an Asian, respect is without a doubt the most important value in the family. That and not being a disgrace (to the family) is by far the most demanding thing my parents taught me as a kid.

Life was tough growing up in a foreign country far from home, but looking back, I gotta say it was totally worth it.

THANKS MOM AND DAD, for making me who I am.
