grade improvement
You know how when you are looking through a big pile of homeworks in search of your own, you can't help but glimpse at other people's scores as well. You notice that the people that usually get the best scores are those with names that are hardest to pronounce, and are usually an English translation of their name in another language. So, in an effort to improve my grades, I got the brilliant idea to change my name to Wan-ling Chang Ching Chong (the last two are just for the extra umph).
Note: This is not intended to offend anyone. I do respect these people and their heritage a lot, especially the trials and tribulations that they have been through to get here, even with such a big language and cultural barrier. My dad came here with two suitcases and the most incomprehensible broken English.
