These days, I love reading.

Back in the days, not so much. School text books? Forget about it.

I got this in my email a while back. Pretty neat so I thought I’d share it with you all.

Apparently, this person was reading a book in class and came across this passage about me..

For someone who didn’t like reading in school too much.. to end up being written about in a book that’s being studied in class. How’s that for irony?

    whoever wrote that paper made me LOL..

    “my pants are new, my sweater is new,
    don’t make fun of Chinese kids fatter than you…”

    im pretty sure jin didn’t say that..i think it was more like “don’t be mad at chinese kid dress better than you”

    Jin, there was also another book written about you a while back when I took an English course in college two or three years ago. I can’t even remember what the textbook was called, but your story was published. I’m glad to hear that you love reading, reading is good for your soul and spirit, especially in thinking, and understanding the concepts. Reading also increase you to write more effectively. Well, I love to read too. I can’t even find that book “Many Americas” on Amazon…sounds interesting.
