Abstract

There is much to be gained from narratives and stories. This author's perspective on transitioning from K-12 classrooms to higher education classrooms is one of many stories out there. The author acknowledges the experiences of others making the transition. The author wants to inform, educate, quicken, and inspire others in the unexpected journey into academia. There is much hope that the author's story will provide a collective body of knowledge, reflections, and experiences to aid others in similar trajectories. This story is of a Christian woman of Chinese descent in academia. It offers a human side of academia, extrapolating the struggles and joy of making that transition.
