“Why I’m An Aggie” We get to a point in life where we have to make choices for ourselves that may not be what we want but will benefit us the most, which is what I did.

While reading through different non-fiction essays, one that left a great impact on my thoughts was “I’m a Banana and Proud of It” by Wayson Choy. Choy gives his story as a North American citizen with a Chinese background.

I'm from raking leaves in the warm Autumn sun, and jumping on the pile with my brother. I'm from swimming in the cold clear water of my pool, with the blazing sun beaming down on my face.
