Chapter 8 Reflection

Kelvin Paez


    Specifically for the country of China, many people live off of these rice patties. These patties are no ordinary plants that are easy to maintain in order to take care of them, one needs to have perseverance, tons of patience, and must be willing to spend tons of hours every day. As a result, many of the Chinese acquired these traits and were able to apply it to education specially, in math. The growing of these rice patties allowed them to excel in math in which, these problems would take time and effort to do. There were taught form goring these patties that with hard work, there would be a large reward that being more rice from each harvest.
    Furthermore, I believe Americans do have hard work and perseverance but not as close to the Asians. If it is something you love doing or really want to accomplish, one would go above and beyond to keep on doing that or to accomplish that one thing. However, since these traits are not inherited at a very early age such as with the Asians, they may not apply it to everything that they possibly do not enjoy, that being school. As a result, not as many American students will put that hard work and perseverance because they are not thought through culture, that hard work does pay off with reward.
