Abstract	One September morning, the author woke as a teacher--an international teaching assistant (ITA), to be exact--at a California State University (Cal State). As a twenty-five-year-old teaching assistant, he had the opportunity to teach hybrid public speaking classes that were designed for the American Culture and Language Program (ACLP), which turned out to be a spiritual awakening. In this chapter, the author explains how teaching and interacting with ACLP students allowed him to reconnect with his own Asian roots and gave him an opportunity to find his spirituality by confronting and celebrating Asianness in the hybrid public speaking classroom.
