Day 6: So of course I am super behind.... I think I owe a Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday drawing, buttt I actually drew this earlier in the week and she was kind of a work in progress throughout the week as I got a lot busier.
Firstly, I’m really proud of myself for doing super well on my cell biology exam. I feel like now that I have more of a mastery mindset rather than a performance mindset where I felt like I had to prove myself to my friends, I am more able to feel like myself and study more regularly and actually kind of enjoy doing it. :)
I’m proud of how far I have come, and I’m excited for the next day and the next. I just really want to share these feelings with those around me who are struggling, and I hope they heal soon. So for the sake of those ladies in the world, I dedicate this drawing to them. And I also dedicate this drawing to the Asian American community who has sadly been the target of many more frequent hate crimes. Although, hate crimes that are not reported on the news should not be forgotten... meaning that the actual number of hate crimes is actually much greater than we think, yet the model minority myth and the perpetual foreigner status of Asian Americans makes us so invisibly vulnerable. I’m saddened by this. :(
