I think the teacher encouraged Amy to choose her career in math or science because she looked at her background and her family. Amy came from Asia and the teacher probably assumed that Amy would have poor English skills because English was not her first language. Also because Amy's mother spoke "broken" English the teacher might have thought that Amy had had as much trouble with English as her mother did. Math and science are solid subjects that have the same principles all around the world. The teacher probably thought that she would be better at math and science which is known worldwide.
In her essay she is proving that anyone can work in any subject if they work hard enough. She proved that she could write good English books and essays. She is saying that a person can succeed in anything and it does not matter what or who they are. Also Amy is trying to say that she has come to respect and cherish the way she speaks to her mother and husband. She says that way of speaking is what she grew up with and she kept that way of speaking to adulthood.
