My identity as a learner has always been above average. In elementary school, I was always in "advanced" or "group A" classes - meaning, in colloquial terms, the "smart" class/group. I was also on the honor roll every year and took Latin in 7th and 8th grade. In high school, I was always placed in honors and AP classes, took Chinese all four years, was a part of the National Chinese Honor Society and was the section leader for my Soprano 2 section in Women's choir. By being placed in these higher level classes and by continuing my education, my learning identity has been enriched.
