A note about SYLP from Publisher Ng

August 19, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

         Breaking the mould for Asian American youth   What do you do with high-achieving students who are bad leaders?   I am not blaming parents. We, as parents, lack awareness of the importance of leadership because of how we were raised — not to lead, but to be great students so that […]

August 19, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly
