Englisches Zitat von Jenny Zhang als Bild

Growing up in America, I experienced two puberties. The first opened me up to the possibilities of adulthood. The second reinforced that for someone like me - an immigrant, a minority, an Asian-American - there were limits.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich bin in Amerika aufgewachsen und habe zwei Pubertäten erlebt. Die erste öffnete mich den Möglichkeiten des Erwachsenenalters. Die zweite verstärkte, dass für jemanden wie mich - einen Einwanderer, eine Minderheit, einen asiatischen Amerikaner - Grenzen gesetzt waren.

Englisches Zitat von Rei Kawakubo als Bild

I've always said that, growing up in postwar Japan, I never felt any connection to my work through those experiences. The work I do really comes from inside myself. For me, being born in Japan was an accident.

Englisches Zitat von Ciara als Bild

As we get older, it's important for us to help hand back some of what we've gained as we've grown older. It should be one of your responsibilities - it's almost like being a mentor.

Ciara

Englisches Zitat von Ashton Eaton als Bild

When I was growing up, I used to watch 'Power Rangers' and 'Ninja Turtles.' It seemed like every movie had someone doing martial arts in it, so I would go around punching and kicking trees.

Ashton Eaton

I really try not to read the tennis articles, because a lot of times they're guessing at how a player is feeling, and I like to keep myself kind of open minded about how I'm feeling, rather than have someone else explain to me what's going on.

Growing up, I thought I was white. It didn't occur to me I was Asian-American until I was studying abroad in Denmark and there was a little bit of prejudice.

I think America may be growing up and accepting the fact that the bulk of life exists beyond 50. Because demographically... the vast population is over 50.

Englisches Zitat von Jose Antonio Vargas als Bild

I am undoubtedly one of the more, if not the most, privileged undocumented immigrants in America. And for us at Define American, which is this culture campaign group that I founded with some friends, culture trumps politics.

Jose Antonio Vargas

Growing up in a small town gives you two things: a sense of place and a feeling of self-consciousness - self-consciousness about one's education and exposure, both of which tend to be limited. On the other hand, limited possibilities also mean creating your own options.

E. L. Konigsburg

I've found that in now having experienced what it's like to make records and just through growing up in general that you should be expressive about what's affecting you instead of trying to sing about a subject just for the sake of other people getting something from it.
