<p>I love being Asian-American! I like the constant pressure my parents put on me. If I was never externally motivated, I would never have become self-motivated. When they made me do four-digit multiplication problems in kindergarten, they were setting me up for a better understanding of the human condition. (And yes, I’m dead serious about that.)</p>
<p>Then again, my parents were never physically abusive - and in most cases, I’m a pretty obedient Indian child. (Don’t ask about the other cases…)</p>
