As an immigrant to the United States, I have undergone a personal metamorphosis. A stark contrast exists between the uniform-clad Vietnamese middle schooler riding a bike that’s far too big for her, and the bright American teenager taking her car out for a spin. Life-altering events can truly create polarizing versions of one’s same identity. Despite all of this, my heritage is a constant that ties these identities together, even if they are worlds apart.
