Hello class, I would like to welcome your new friend Haze Waze.

American Born Chinese: I was introduced incorrectly today on my first day of school coming from China. American schools were ran so much more differently, and I had trouble seeing myself fitting in.

There was only one other asian in my class named Suzy Nakamura.
I felt more at ease if I was around people like me, however, there was only one other girl who sat alone and seemed to be uninterested and shy. I was forced to make new friends and step out my comfort zone.

what the hell is that?
noodles..?
Already at lunch, I was being judged for what I was eating because they don't eat the same food here as people back home do. I felt really judged and didn't know how to react.

Class, please welcome your new friend Chei-Chei-Chun.
Wei-Chen-Sun..
In a different class, a similar situation with a different kid who happened to be asian got introduced incorrectly too. I was upset and something made me want to beat him up. I did start adapting to American schools and started doing what they all did to fit in.

You're in America. Speak English.
Hey, you chinese right?
He approached me at lunch and spoke in Chinese asking if I was Chinese. I don't know why I was so rude but he just made me mad. I understood him and knew he wanted to be friends with me because I was Chinese but I don't think he adapted yet to American schooling.

He showed me his robotic toy his dad gifted him from China.

After a few weeks of noticing he wanted to be my friend, I finally gave him and we had a conversation about his robot toy. Wei-Chen became my best friend.
