I feel like your food memoir is something everyone of us is thinking. That we have less then 8 months and most of us have no idea what it really takes to be an adult. Your story of how the three of you were able to learn one piece of the puzzle of life is pretty amazing. Including Nikki and Megan in your video as well as the process of grocery shopping was a cool addition. I love the idea of the candy isle being tempting and source of torture in a way well the fruits and vegetables are "adult foods." The story really showed the friendship that you 3 share after all growing up together and how this self discover towards adulthood and the scary idea of college became a little more bearable for all of you. The last line of your memoir really wrapped up your story perfectly because you are learning one thing at a time. I think you did an amazing job and from all the mac and cheese you have made me I know you will be an awesome adult!

You did a great job throughout the presentations I particularly loved your food memoir and how you compared your Chinese and American cultures and the differences you have noticed as time progressed. Your story reminds me a little bit of my home and the differences in my sisters and I are much like the differences within your mother and yourself. The way you included your friend in your video was really nice because it really reinforced the story you were wanting to get across to us. Having many traditions in a home can be difficult in finding your identity but I think you have done an amazing job blending the two cultures into your own. Though you wanted to distance yourself from your Chinese culture you embraced it when your friends began to need help. I think that it shows how deep peoples roots really are. Great job!

I think you did an awesome job throughout both projects. I liked the way that you used the pictures from when your grandparents lived over in Burma and how you didn't just tell your story about the fried rice but also your grandparents story of fired rice. The way that you began and ended the video by saying the same line was probably my favorite part, because though all of you have changed over time you are still the same people with fried rice as your center piece. I loved all the little things you put in the middle of your video as you were cooking. The heart on the cutting board, your camera angles, and how it seemed to be just you in the kitchen really gave me the feeling of how this dish and its past has effected you. Great job!

The video as a whole was amazing! From the background music, images, and indian traditions all pieced together I think you showed your childhood in India clearly. I loved the way you played in the known indian tradition of sweets being used to celebrate major life moments. You used the description of your first college acceptance letter to the real moment you wanted us to see. I loved the way you told us all about your grandmother and how she hesitates to let anyone help her in the kitchen. As the 5 year old self progressed and then how your grandmother also progressed beside you was a pivotal moment for me watching your video. Its truly amazing to see how close of a relationship you have even with the distance between the two of you. The background music really tied it all together because it was connected to your indian culture and the backdrop as your story progressed over time. Overall an amazing job!!
