Because she hadn't attended kindergarten (which had to be paid for), she was behind in Grade 1, and didn't know how to read. She took to heart being relegated to the group of slowest readers. The groups were described as birds, so the top were bluebirds and the worst were crows. "Sitting with a group of crows in the classroom, stumbling over the words in our reader, was not where I wanted to be," Crozier said.

We have all heard the age-old questions of whether or not old dogs can learn new tricks, or if there really is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. Well, the writer has all the answers to the Chinese related age-old questions that her fellow classmates inquire about. While her peers interrogate the kindergartener with questions such as, "If you don't get an A on this math test, does that mean your parents will beat you," and, "What does 'Ching Chong Chung Choo Chang' mean," she simply responds with an unenthusiastic answer of either yes or no.
