Hello everyone, my name is Le Qi, coming from china, and I am 21 years old. By the way, Le means ‘happiness’ in Chinese. I am a transfer student form southwestern university of economy and finance (it’s in china). I decided to further my study in accounting major in baruch during my third year in university. Actually, this is my first time been to USA and I have to say that there are a lot differences between China and USA.
Outside school, I am a huge fan of diving. I get my ow(stands for open water) certification at my 18 in Malaysia. Then after one year, I get my advanced divers certification. During last summer, I eventually passed the exam and get the advanced open water certification in cancun. In fact, I am planning to go to Palau and try cave diving and see if I can get the rescue diver certification with my friends during this spring break.
There are several good reasons why I love diving so much. First, I was born in a small town nearby the sea, and I am raised in there until I was 7. During my entire childhood, I spend whole day watching the sea, playing at beach. Thus, i guess that I am emotionally attached to sea and diving is apparently the best way to get close the sea and study sea. Although my family moved to shanghai soon after my birth. Another reason is that the view in the sea is stunning. Also,you will see lot of beautiful sea creatures, such as Sponge, octopus, jellyfishes, coral and even whale and sharks if you get lucky. Last, it feels like on the different planet when I am under the sea. You can hear hardly nothing expect your breath. This kind of silence makes me think that I am separated from human civilization and actually makes me think about my life.
