Hello my name is Helen Chen, I was born in New York Manhattan, I am first generation and currently a freshman at Baruch majoring in Accounting management. Even though I was born in America I was raised in China until I was 4 years old. China has delicious food, in my memories, the food that I always liked when I was a child was the dumplings. My auntie always brought me it when we went out to grab food but it has been a long since I ever tried again because I also haven’t been back to China for a while and many things have changed. Food is always what keeps me happy every time after classes or any stress I grab food with my friend which makes me happy the food I always get is popcorn chicken which has been one of my favorite foods for a while, but overeating could be unhealthy. I am picky, which always gives my family a headache, and sometimes my family there always certain dishes that I don’t like but as I grow older I start liking those foods that I didn’t like before. One of my hobbies is drawing, drawing always keeps my mind relieved and also keeps me away from stress. The picture below is the oil painting that I did in my art class, I joined art class because I wanted to do a Fashion major at first but I started learning drawing in my junior year which was a bit late, but then I felt even I do like drawing but fashion wasn’t a thing for me so I decided to change my major. In my art class I did oil painting which was one of my favorite lessons because it was a new thing for me and I always wanted to try it out, at first I was struggling but I liked the final that is what matters.
