As an Asian American growing up in California, I was expected to study hard, excel in math, get good grades, go to a good university, get a good job, and get married, and have kids. And that's what I did: studied hard in high school, went to UC Berkeley, worked for Ernst & Young. That's all my mom ever wanted for me, to study hard and find a "good stable job for a girl."
