American Classic

When a Chinese girl is young, she's not allowed to show her emotions to others.

But when she's alone, she can grieve, laugh, live by her fantasies, if she has any.

When I was younger, I had many fantasies.

The most important day of my life was the day I convinced my family that I should earn some extra money babysitting.

I was ************ when I had my first job as an American family's kindly young orphan.
