This article is about a Chinese-American girl who just wants to be and a real All-American girl. Her family sends her to a Chinese school in America. However, she does not want to study Chinese language or culture. She wants to venture outside of Chinatown and learn real English.

The article talks about what the Chinese school on Yale Street is like. However, she liked American culture more than Chinese. She really wanted to study American culture but her parents held her back. Eventually, she studies American culture and stops studying at the Chinese school. 

I believe it is very important for one to study their own culture and language. But, it is also very important to study other cultures, as well, to not become ethocentric. Most people in America come from many different cultures, so you end up learning about all of them either through schooling or relatives.
