POP Reflection

Our final was to put on a show for others about what we have learned about the Asian American Culture. Sadly I was not able to go watch the performance because I had a schedule conflict with one of my classes. I did however, do my part for my group's project and gave it all my effort. The video editing done by Justin was superb considering that it was done in less than a week. One of the major obstacles that we faced during the project was the very tight time constraints. It was quite stressful for me to try to come up with something amazing for my final, in such a short amount of time. This is where working in a group helped ease the load a lot.

Looking back at the semester, I have learned so much about the Asian American Culture. The class as taught me how to open my eyes and look at things much more critically now. I had a ton of fun in this class and I am really going miss everyone that I have gotten to know, especially everyone in my group, it amazes me how fast a semester can go by. I really enjoyed a lot of our assignments because they were very different from what I was normally used to. I especially enjoyed the cooking assignment, I loved trying to be creative and trying to combine two dishes to become something tasty. I had no idea that food could be used as a representation for a culture. I will never look at food the same again! The book we read Dim Sum of All Things was a very interesting book to read. At first glance I would not have guessed that it would be so focused on stereotypes. The book really taught me a lot of Asian Americans and how they live their daily lives trying to fight stereotypes. Overall I had a lot of fun and learned so much in this class, it will change the way I live my life.
