We share our experience growing up in the U.S. with immigrant parents, and being torn between 2 identities as Asian Americans. We laugh about our childhood memories and struggles with areas like education, dating, money, dealing with conflict, etc. Looking back now as adults we really appreciate our parents being so hard on us because it gave us wonderful values and principles to live by, and pass on to others.
