Inspired by Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture, this is a collection of short stories and essays about the experiences and life lessons learned by a Chinese-American girl growing up in the Southern California suburbs. Drawing upon her extracurricular activities and traveling experiences, the book is written from the perspective of an adolescent rather than an adult or a professional. It provides some insight on the impact that parents, teachers, coaches, and other mentors have on a developing young person in molding her value system, critical thinking skills, and passions.
