What it Means to Be an Asian-American

When reflecting as a college senior, I think about the things that prepared me the most for the life of a student-athlete. Without a doubt, I think about my Asian-American heritage. I think about how my experiences learning to play both baseball and the piano worked in harmony to teach me about patience, persistence, and effort, and prepare me for success, failure, and everything inbetween. Through both passions, I’ve found them to be strong symbols of my tradition and a representation of the ability to navigate the complexities that come with being a student-athlete.
