Self Description

 My major is accounting, I'm a 2025 student, and my hobbies are photography, mostly sky-based, and organizing and video games. 

(These are photos that I take)

I am from China and came to the United States until I was 14. My earliest literacy experiences would be in elementary school, where my mother helped me. Childhood is always accompanied by mischief and a mentality that values play more than learning. With my mother's help, I was able to correct my behavior. I remember that it was eleven o'clock at night, and I was so naughty that I forgot to do my homework because I was playing. The teachers in elementary school at the time made it a rule that if you didn't finish your homework, you had to stay and finish it. Because it was late and my father had returned. My mother supervised me at a small table, and my father came back with a barbecue. It was a frustrating and fun experience. I was frustrated with my mother's sternness and happy with the food my father brought home. My hometown is in the countryside, and my childhood was filled with many natural aspects. For example, in one part of the house there were pear trees and persimmon trees, and in another part there were mulberry trees and passion fruit on the shelves. There were rabbits in captivity on the hill, and flocks of chickens and ducks. The happiest experience was playing with my friends. Of course I also participated in a speech contest, but that was in elementary school. But I started to realize that I could read aloud when I could. I tend to read emotionally rich words, and I also write sentences to cope with my emotions and thoughts at the time. The literary authors that I like is Lu Xun, a modern Chinese writer whose work is intriguing and contains much of his deeper meaning. The feeling of being literate has helped me to communicate better with people or to write on my own. In my personal life, I will continue to use literacy by journaling because my vocabulary is still small at the moment. Being a completely different language than my native language, it was hell for me when I first came to the United States, and that feeling was exacerbated when I transferred to a local school. At that time, I couldn't understand conversations and I didn't know how to respond to people's questions. I was in the upper middle of my class, and I had English as a subject at home. But when I came to America, I realized that it was completely different from what I had learned in junior high school, both in terms of sentence form and oral expression. I was depressed because I couldn't communicate and I didn't meet any friends who were Asian with me. Until I met a good friend, a girl with the same frequency as me, she is Spanish and speaks English and Spanish. She helped me to get out of my autistic circle at the age of 15. As I became more familiar with her, I became more proficient in speaking English with her. And there was a very funny thing at the time. I got lost on my way to find her. I called her and I said, "I'm missing. She heard me and started laughing at me and told me I should use "lost" instead of "missing". Even though it was a few days later, she still laughed at me, which I couldn't help, but it was a good thing to remember at the time. She was my English guide and I am very grateful to her for helping me to become fluent.
