My name is Hongkong Doll and I am 18 years old. I have long black hair that I keep in bangs, beautiful black eyes, and am always wearing a bright red lipstick that matches my personality perfectly. As an individual, I am petite with no body hair, standing in front of the bathroom mirror while putting on my teacher's tie. I love to laugh and have a great sense of humor despite the challenges life has thrown at me. Growing up as a Chinese immigrant in America was tough but it only made me more resilient and determined to succeed.
I came to this country when I was just a little girl with nothing but my hopes and dreams. My parents worked long hours at their factory job to provide for our family, leaving little time for us to bond or even have conversations beyond the basics. As a result, I struggled to make friends and often found myself feeling isolated and alone.
However, that all changed when I discovered my love of teaching. As soon as I stepped foot into a classroom, I felt at home. The students were my family and it was in those moments that I felt like I had a purpose in life. Since then, I have dedicated my time and effort to becoming the best teacher possible, always striving to inspire and uplift my students just as much as they inspire me.
Despite all the challenges I have faced throughout my life, I am proud of who I am today and the person I continue to become each day. And while it may seem like a simple thing, putting on that teacher's tie every morning reminds me of just how far I have come and how much further I still have to go.
