I Am Me So Yippee
by Alex Andy Phuong

I am not Ryan Gosling.  I am not Emma Stone.  I am Alex Andy Phuong.  I am a passionate autistic savant who is a bibliophile, a cinephile, and a literary scholar.  People on the spectrum like to be very routine and very exact with time itself.  I have a very structured life, but I am an adult because I live the way that I do without hurting myself and others.  My willingness to love knows no bounds.

Before I leave for work, I wake up around 4am or 5am every morning.  I developed the habit of being awake before sunrise because I took 7am classes at Pasadena City College for two straight years.  I would enjoy green tea and maybe a cup of Joe to energize my mind, body, and soul.  I would help out around the house, and I spend time with family daily because I love them and they love me.  And the sad truth is…I do not have time for television.

While I am at work, I use my time and knowledge to help empower students.  I have always admired my teachers and professors throughout my academic career, and I am incredibly grateful for being an educator.  I hope to bestow knowledge upon anyone willing to learn, and I also learn more about reality by teaching.

After work is done for the day, I enjoy nice dinners in Alhambra, CA.  I am lucky that I am able to work hard all day every day with occasional pay.  I do not get paid to volunteer, I do not get paid to write, and I (sometimes) do not get paid to think, but I am glad that I use my head daily to deal with reality while contributing to the world altruistically.
