 I was born in 1990 — the year of the white horse. A girl born under this zodiac (生肖) is believed to have a wild, steed-like (骏马般的) spirit that will block her fortunes, bringing her family trouble. These beliefs were planted in my mind as a girl growing up in South Korea. I was repeatedly told to fight against my steed-like spirit and instead try being still, gentle, and quiet. 

 Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors. I often returned home with soiled clothes. 

In high school, I settled on a quiet career choice: I would become a lawyer. However, when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That's when a teacher said, "You could always get a science degree, and go back into law."

 I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology ( 地质学). Shortly 

thereafter, though, culture shock set in. I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses. One 6-week summer course required strenuous (费劲的) hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such "wild" activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before. But other women in my program were an inspiration. I saw beauty in their strength, and I wanted to be like them.

By the end of my undergraduate degree, I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl. And I'd given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer. My parents didn't quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.

I'm now a postdoc with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments, and I'm thankful I resisted the cultural expectations placed on me. My wild, steed-like spirit wasn't something to suppress ( 压 制 ). Instead, it led me to a career that's a perfect fit for me.

A Harvard nutritionist shares 4 brain foods that will help your kids stay "sharp and attentive".

 Home-made hummus 

 Beans are healthy, plant-based sources of iron, zinc, protein, omega-3s and fiber, benefit- ing brain development. Home-made hummus is a good way to include beans into your child's diet. It can be served in so many ways, such as a dip paired with apple slices, carrot sticks or sugar snap peas. Adding some color to your hummus can make it more attractive to kids. Think: a bright orange carrot hummus topped with a monster face made out of vegetables. 

 Salmon 

 Introducing your child to fish at a young age can increase their likelihood of enjoying it and eating low-fat, vitamin-rich proteins for the rest of their life. Salmon is soft and mild enough for young children, and is also a good source of vitamin B12 and omega-3s, which promotes healthy brain development and happier moods. 

 Eggs 

 Whole eggs are an excellent source of brain-boosting vitamins A, D and B12, along with choline ( 胆 碱 ). Choline is especially important for young children, as it has been shown to improve brain development and long-term memory. One study found that pastured eggs can have twice as much vitamin E and almost three times as many omega-3s as caged eggs. 

 Meatballs 

 Add some powerful plant-based fiber and nutritious vegetables to your child's diet through meatballs. Start with a base of beans or ground turkey. Then add grated celery and flax seeds full of omega-3s. Of course, don't forget your favorite spices. Cook and serve.
