America

So many times you hear the fact that MEN are better at math than WOMEN. Studies have proved this fact, and honestly that doesn't bother me. The fact that I am one of FIVE women in the Math program here at Alabama doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the fact that I am getting an American education, taught by a Chinese professor, who looks down on me because not only am I American, but I am also female.

It is so sad that some people must limit themselves by stereotypes and judging others. Well you know what, I was raised to learn, to study, to do my best. Not to cheat my way through and make a computer do all my work for me. I can't wait for this professor to see my A at the end of the term with the Chinese students. I work hard, if not harder than anyone in my classes. And I am the only one in there that works full time.

I am not going to let the fact that I am a woman in a male dominated field mess me up. You don't intimidate me, and I can't wait to have my A alongside those you think so richly deserve it. Thank you, I have earned it and I can rest assured with the fact that my grade is based on integrity and hard work, that is enough for me.
