When my twin sister and I were born, my great grandfather consulted the stars. The chart which he produced proclaimed that we would become great world travelers — that we would grow to do amazing things. I’d like to believe that these ideas are true, but because I’ll make them true — not...

I never thought I would like K-pop. I sneered at the very thought of any music in another language. I thought Kpop was cringy and shallow. I thought those Korean guys with makeup were “too girly.” I looked down on those “crazy K-pop fans” like they were mad men. I vowed I would never, EVER beco...

Dear lawmakers, I honestly have no idea where to start. What do I write? How can I make sense of the tangle of emotions in my mind? So, I turned to research. I listened to the voices of the leaders behind this powerful movement. Their words brought me to tears, their strength only lifting up ...

188 school shootings in 18 years. 188 thoughts and prayers. 188 debates filled with partisan bickering. 188 times where no change has happened. After every single mass shooting, it is only inevitable that politics come into play. Yet gun control advocates clash with staunch second-amendment defenders ...

I am an Asian American. I am a first-generation immigrant to the United States. I am an individual who is anxiously awaiting college admissions decisions to arrive, day after day, heart fluttering whenever the word “college” or “university” scrolls past my eyes on the digital screen. And I am...

“The Post”: another movie about The Washington Post, another movie about Watergate — only this time with Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep was, as expected, exceedingly wonderful in the movie. Unexpectedly, the movie was not about Watergate. I thought for sure if there were ever a time to make ...

When you look around your classroom, the mall, the gym, or any public place, you’ll notice that everyone is different.
