Laughing is a gift that is not held

Usually when people hear "Asian", they think of the many stereotypes that come from that word; quiet, composed, smart, studious, and every other characteristic that movies and media have presented over the years. When people look at me, they see a very loud girl who laughs way too much and is never composed. I am though shy and when I present in front of people I turn freakishly red and can't speak. Most people after hearing my laugh will point out how "unique" it is. I find it to be a family quality because a lot of people claim my little sister has the same laugh! Although I may not always like how my laugh is, it is definitely something that defines me. My loudness is something that surely surprises people.
