A bit about me. My name is Ziru. I don’t have a middle name. If I did, my name would look more like Zi Ru, but my parents decided to combine it into a name that most people have trouble pronouncing and spelling on the first few tries. Annoying? Sometimes. Frustrating? Yes.
Apparently (according to Google), I am located in Uganda and have my own island.
I am a full-blooded Chinese female born in the US of A. I speak some Cantonese. And I speak some Spanish (thank you middle school, high school, and college Spanish classes). People have mistaken me for many other backgrounds, including Filipina, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, and African. Where that last one came from, well, you got me there.
Honestly, I don’t know how to describe myself. It has been said that you cannot describe yourself through how you feel, how you look, where you come from, what you like and like to do, or anything along those lines. Then how would you answer the question, “Who am I?” Simply put, I suppose you could just declare, “I am who I am.” Then again, that isn’t a valid definition.
