Why does belonging in STEM matter to you?

In middle school and high school, I found myself having to navigate the stereotype that “all Asians are good at math.” As math classes grew more challenging, I found myself living under high expectations from both my teachers and peers because of what I looked like, and I didn’t feel like I was able to ask for help at school. Luckily, my dad played a huge role in giving me the support I needed and helped me believe that I could do well in those subject areas. I wish I had experienced more belonging in those math classes because it would have helped me build confidence in STEM and a STEM identity earlier on. STEM is a huge part of our everyday life, and everyone is a STEM person!
