I teach our second generation the Taiwanese language so that I can help instill in them a part of their identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
I am a Taiwanese American who has been in the United States for the past 20 years. I am an aunt to two beautiful nephews. I am also a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I have a wonderful family who support me through all of my endeavors.<\/p>\n What do you do? <\/strong>I recently earned my doctorate in psychology and hope to become licensed within the next year.\u00a0 I am passionate about children and their families.\u00a0 My goal is to reach as many children with difficulties so that they have the tools to achieve.<\/p>\n Additionally, I am a Taiwanese Language teacher who believes that if our culture is lost in the next generation, then, along with it will be our identity. I teach our second generation the Taiwanese language so that I can help instill in them a part of their identity.<\/p>\n I am also involved in the local Taiwanese American Association. I hope to be able to gather more young professionals to become interested in the Taiwanese identity.<\/p>\n Why are you proud to be of Taiwanese heritage? <\/strong>I am a 1.5 generation Taiwanese American. I finished elementary school in Taiwan and moved to the States when I was 13 years old. I recall that ever since my first day in the States, I have always corrected people I meet that I am Taiwanese and not Chinese. I have always been proud to be a Taiwanese because of our rich culture. I identify with the land and want what is best for Taiwan.<\/p>\n What does the future of Taiwanese America look like to you? <\/strong>My vision for the Taiwanese American community is that we would be more united with less fighting within our group. I have seen too many that aim for the same goal but bicker with each other regarding wordings and paths to take. I hope that we can come together and work towards the same goal.<\/p>\n Rockville, MD Who are you? I am a Taiwanese American who has been in the United States for the past 20 years.
