Learning the dying art of cursive was the main theme of the second grade and can describe my winding journey to find what field of work I should pursue. My eight year-old, lifelong goals up to that point were to become an outfielder for the San Francisco Giants or a wide receiver for the 49ers. Give me a break, I was colorblind at eight years-old. I didn't know I would turn out to be Chinese, 24 and the size of Shaq's sneaker telephone. Lucky for me, Irene Jew and Cliff Paul were born to assist. While Cliff Paul helped little asian girls find goldfish in basements, Ms. Jew aided us in our search for our potential craft by holding the most horrific event an eight year-old could take part of, CAREER DAY. To this day, the slew of doctors, engineers, and accountants that filled our classroom was the #2 most sobering experience I've had. No longer could we be the red Power Ranger, President of the United States, an astronaut, or an outfielder/wide receiver for the Bay Area beloved. I cannot say that I have fully recovered from that somber experience, which may explain why I am unemployed and writing a blog that receives less likes than my Instagrams of my foot blisters. This post is for you, Cliff and Irene.
