Jina is a student who moved to the U.S. at 11 and lives with a host family. Moving from China to the U.S. and leaving her family behind was a big step for her and shaped who she is today. Inspired by everyday moments, her feelings, and relationships, she uses creative writing to express her thoughts and reflections.
She breaks down her struggles with cultural differences, teenage life, and identity, exploring the complexity of human emotions and connecting her experience with others. Through her writing, Jina hopes people reflect on their own life experiences and find themselves.
