After four years, I finally got the chance to celebrate the Moon Festival with my family and friends thanks to the online school. Moon Festival is a traditional holiday in Taiwan which people to take a day off from work and school to gather and enjoy the moon at its brightest and fullest size. In my country, we celebrate the festival and cherish the moon by eating mooncakes and barbequing with our family and friends outdoor (preferably under the moonlight). Foods and drinks are served during the family ceremony and fireworks are set off toward the end of the celebration. If you walk around the city, you will certainly be able to see your neighbors barbequing in front of their houses and sometimes even on the street. This year, I learned that Korea and Japan also celebrate this holiday. But different from the Taiwanese tradition where barbequing with family members under the moonlight is a tradition, these countries celebrate the holiday by sharing a feast or drink.  This year my fa...

Introduce yourself. Where are you from? Who are you? —These are the questions that I have repeatedly answered from my first day at elementary to the first day of my senior year in college. Even though the questions never change, I start to find these difficult to answer as time pass. My gradual understanding of others' expectations made me wonder how I should respond to these questions and frame my answers to adhere to their expectation. In American Like Me, the same struggle for identity is presented throughout the short excerpts written by the first- and second-generation immigrants. In hopes of finding a way to respond to these questions and understanding how people construct their own identity, I started the book.  In American Like Me, America Ferrera compiles stories from various American-born child of immigrant parents about their experience with constructing their American identity. Coming up with identity is not a straightforward and obvious process for most of them. Cultur...

  Less is More A guide to decluttering as a family   https://www.tasbo.org/news/is-your-room-clean After attending a full day of online classes, you walk out of your room to enjoy some family time. As the door opens, you see five pairs of shoes scattered across the living room, a pile of unread magazines on the desk, Amazon boxes stacked in the corner of the room, and a mountain of clothes on the sofa. You see your family walking around, but no one seems to care. Your mind tells you it’s time to clean up, but your body says the opposite, “maybe tomorrow…”   These are all situations that my family and I had encountered. Even worst, on top of our lack of motivation to clean, we enjoy the never-ending process of investing in more personal properties. One plus one equals two, and piles on top of multiple piles quickly amount to mountains of clutters. Sooner or later I realized that changes are necessary.   Decluttering alone is difficult because giving way possessions ma...
