You are a really good writer considering English is not your first language!
Have you considered writing as a job? It suits some people more than traditional office jobs do. Problem is how to make enough off it.

Lol, thanks, but no need for the compliment really, since I came to the US when I was 8 years old, this is not really “excellence”, this is just the standard expectation. If I didn’t have this proficiency, then that would actually shameful since I came at such a young age.
On the otherhand, my Chinese never progressed beyond 2nd grade level… that’s when my education in China stopped since that’s when I left with my family.
I can understand basics. I can read basic characters.
But once you throw in a few complex words like “embryo”, I’m gonna struggle and need English subtitles to understand a tv show. If I see a wall of text in Chinese… it makes me have a headache (figuratively), and I talk like a 2nd grader lol
I’m the only one in my family that really prefers English. Everyone use Chinese in their phone system language, I use English. My brother being 5 years older has a more noticible accent, and he has a weird racial supremacy ideology thing so he just stuck with using Chinese as the system language.
So now I feel this weird language barrier in my own house and I can’t express my thoughts well, my mom doesn’t exactly understand that much English… I mean she does, but not well enough to get into deep conversations and emotions and stuff.
