The disadvantages and advantages of being who I am...

My name is Stephen Que and I am an Asian-American. Many say Asians are the most successful raise and are usually wealthy compared to all the other different raises. they are viewed that way because of the past history of Asians in America. Most of them own businesses that become very successful. According to my past experiences being Asian is not as easy as it looks. Being a basketball player in high school I was not taken very seriously only being a 5'10 guard. Because there are rarely any Asians  that play the game of basketball I was not considered to be a great player at first sight. When it comes to sports or being the "cool" kid i was not really viewed as that type of guy. I was also made fun of in high school my freshman and sophomore years for being Asian. I remember being on the football team my freshman year and some of the guys would make fun of saying that I should stay in the classroom instead of on the football practice field. My parents would also nag me on doing my homework and studying all the time, which is very typical among Asian kids. So it's not really that easy being an Asian kid growing up in America. It can be easy at time though because usually all my teachers love me and they always give me the benefit of the doubt when it come to grades. My family can also benefit me because even though  they are so hard on me it can definitely help me out in the long run.
