Management is a job that is “harder than it looks,” as the saying goes. Not only must you have a plan, be able to organize, control, and lead, you must be able to continue to make decisions that will benefit not only the company, but everyone involved in said company. That involves stockholders, employees, and management that is both above and below what position you may be in. Andrea Jung, one of the most successful CEOs is an example of manager who can plan, organize, control, and lead in Avon and continue to make it a success. The company has thrived under her management, and there is no sign that that success will slow or drop in the future. What also makes Andrea Jung impressive is the fact that there are still few women who are in management compared to the amount of men who currently manage various companies.

Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1959, Andrea Jun’s parents were both of Asian descent. Her Father was an architect, and her Mother was an engineer. When she was two years old, her family had moved to Wellesley, Massachusetts. She was also not an only child – she was a sibling of one younger brother. When Andrea Jung was five years old, she took piano lessons, and studied the Mandarin language. At a young age, Andrea Jung’s education had already took a leap above what other children had. Despite this, she has admitted to not being the best student. However, with her parents policy of giving her something she really wanted to have if she got high grades (such as colored pencils, for example), it was enough to push her to make all A’s in her academic career. According to Andrea Jung, i...

...tion to change Avon for the better, and can potentially continue to change Avon to become an even more successful company. While there was more than likely some flaws in her management, she has taken what her parents have taught her, and made decisions to ultimately further her career and jobs as a manager. The market is always changing, as is the way that management performs their job. With that in mind, Andrea Jung as the first female CEO my be the start of even more women becoming managers.

In their pursuit of assimilating and calling the US home, they had forged a new identity of Hmong Americans. (Yang, 203) Being Hmong American meant striving to move up the economic ladder and determining one’s own future. They understood that for them to realize their American dream and their “possibilities”, it could only be done so through “school”. (Yang, 139) Yang realized her dream by attaining a Master’s of Fine Arts from Columbia University and publishing books about the Hmong story.

Similarly, Wong also grew up in America with a traditional Chinese mother. In contrast, Wong’s upbringing involves her mother forcing her into attending two different schools. After her American school day, Wong continues on with Chinese school to learn both cultures. Her mother felt it was her duty to “[. . .] learn the language of [her] heritage” (Wong 144). This puts a burden on Wong as she starts to despise the Chinese culture.

In this paper I will be sharing information I had gathered involving two students that were interviewed regarding education and their racial status of being an Asian-American. I will examine these subjects’ experiences as an Asian-American through the education they had experienced throughout their entire lives. I will also be relating and analyzing their experiences through the various concepts we had learned and discussed in class so far. Both of these individuals have experiences regarding their education that have similarities and differences.
