Stereotypes

Talking about stereotype, who has not had some difficulties when they first arrive in a new country as a foreign student. I personally had experience that as well back when i was in high school. I often hear people telling me that asians are smart, and some people assumed that I must have good grades in school just because I came from China. Each time when someone tells me that, i felt embarrassed because i’m not the smart one that they are talking about. Honestly, i was always an average student in the class, because it was difficult to learn another new language. In fact, I’m still struggling with school now. Although some asian student do well in school, but it does not applies to everyone in the community. Besides getting good grades dose not happen without some hard work. Therefor stereotype dose not describes everybody around you.
