3. I sarcastically named my valedictorian speech "Fortune Cookie"

I thought becoming valedictorian would feel like a win. Instead, it felt like a quiet defeat, involving an unchosen rivalry with a white boy, a speech I didn’t want to give, and an achievement that created some of the loneliness moments of my life.
In this episode, I revisit a chapter of my life where I did “everything right” on paper, but still felt invisible. I reflect a bit the model minority myth, and I finally share what I was too scared to say back then: I wasn’t proud.
If you’ve ever followed the rules only to end up feeling confused about unfair outcomes, this one’s for you ♥️
I’d love to hear your version of a "Fortune Cookie" story! Leave a comment or send me a DM on Instagram / LinkedIn.
