Lin said that she has no awareness of racism and prejudice until she went studying abroad in Denmark. However Lin mentioned that she did not fit into the high school environment at all. At the time Lin thought that was because of her look, which is much younger than her classmates. Lin said her classmates treated her as a little girl; "there was a little bit of a China doll". Besides, Lin thought she has no extracurricular activities at all, "My activities were absolutely isolated. I would make anything artistic at home." However, Lin did not treat that isolated environment as a negative impact to her childhood, instead, Lin thought that her creativity and her artistic drive emanated from that childhood. Being a female Asian in high school in Ohio, Lin went through the challenges of double jeopardy as well as being a role model of the minority. Despite that, Lin had achieve great success in school, and she also emanated her childhood from that environment. Lin described herself as being "very naive" back then, and all she wanted were "studying and getting A's". Although Lin did feel the uneasiness in high school, she considered that almost as an instinct.
