A trip to LA/San Fransisco/ Las Vegas
Before leaving to retrain in Maryland, I took a last hoorah trip to visit some friends in the West Coast. It was fun to say the least and I was glad to have been able to hang out with so many different people. I am so lucky to have such amazing friends out there. Upon
reflection however, I find that trip to be another blessing in disguise. During that trip I was fortunate enough to introduce some of my Taiwanese media friends to other artistic friends. I didn’t know it then, but they would all begin collaborating.
If I’m honest, I almost teared on New Years Eve as my friend Wat raised a shot to toast. “You changed my life, man” he said. To this I said “I’m just so glad you’re giving back to the Asian American community. I’m proud of you and what you’re doing”. And it’s these moments that make me think that perhaps our most significant impacts on the world around us occur when we have just lightly touched something. However none of this could have happened if not for the Amazing Taiwanese Americans and Asian Americans out in California that are so supportive of each other and eager to help each other out. It is this kind of community that retracts my worries of finding work after I graduate.
