Hi guys, my name is Jackie Chen. I was born in New York City, but I moved to China a short while after I was born so my grandparents could take care of me. I spent a few years in China, and eventually came back over and started school in 2nd grade, skipping first grade. It was a whole new world when I came back, I was taken aback by how much has changed in just a few years I was in China.
My intended major is going to be Finance. I’m looking forward to the first semester, and to this writing course. One of my favorite things to do is write, the others are weight lifting and swimming. I hope that after this class is over I will have a new found knowledge of how to write better and to be a better thinker.
I have an older brother that goes to Yale, and 2 cousins that are still in elementary school. An interesting thing about me is I can play two instruments; piano and guitar. I love to explore new things, even though it seems I can never get my butt off my bed! I’m very passionate about cooking and TV shows. I learned how to cook because it was a waste of money eating out after going to the gym.
In the future, I’m going to go for a Master’s in Finance, and working around New York City. If not, I can always use my cooking skills to open up a restaurant and cater to all the hungry people. Currently, I am working as a contractor for my dad’s company. It’s a pretty hard job carrying up huge windows/glass and installing them, but I get handy experience that will help me if I am in trouble looking for a job in the future.
