Chandra Touch's personal look into her school activities, her Cambodian culture and her mother's disapproval is an engaging piece.

Touch communications to the listener by speaking with her own mother -- a bold move that shows that Touch isn't afraid to interrogate her own parent about why she disapproves of cheerleading or the differences between American and Cambodian culture.

The main detractors of this segment were the narration and pacing. At times, Touch feels righteous, perhaps a bit preachy. Although I empathized with Touch, as I come from a family where my family does not truly understand the importance of my activities or the weight of going to college, I feel that her approach was heavy-handed. Touch's mother speaks in a way that my own mother has; a quiet request for a daughter to remain faithful to her culture.

I loved the mother-daughter interaction, but the narration seemed a bit too righteous and even the questions directed at the mother seemed to be "leading" or suggesting a desired answer.
