Keep talking to us too, okay? I would like to know what you find that helps you and have you share your journey with us.

You know, when I was in high school, I hung around with some of the Asian kids. I wasn't accepted in that group, but there was a boy I really liked. He was embarassed to be seen with me though because I was "American." I'm a descendent of relatively recent immigrants though. Anyway, I wanted to be Oriental at that point in my life, and was envious of the straight, dark hair, beautiful brown eyes, small feet (the guy I liked said that my feet were too big - size 6), and the way that Oriental people seem not to show their age, or to age so gracefully. I had a Korean dress as a child too, with the striped sleeves and red skirt, and I loved to wear it. My dad was stationed in Korea for a couple of years, so even though I haven't been there, I felt some connection with Korea.
