  13. Hello everyone :) Everyone knows me as Maggie Phung and I was born outside of the US, but it has been eleven years since my family has moved to America. My education plan right now consists mainly of finishing my GE requirements and completing all the courses needed to transfer to UCI or UCSD for Bio major. I'm highly interested in being an obstetrician, which many do not know what that is. (It's the doctor that delivers the baby). Running, hiking, taking walks, and sleeping are my stress relievers!!! I hadn't planned to take this Asian American Literature course, but am most definitely anticipating whatever powerful knowledge I would achieve after this quarter.
