LC 15

It was one Sunday afternoon, everyone was home because it was too hot to stay out. My parents were cooking some traditional chinese food in the kitchen while two of my little cousins were playing with their PSP in the living room. It was way too noisy to stay downstairs, so I went to my room, which was on the second floor and watched some tv show on my laptop. It was a boring afternoon, everyone seemed so busy what they stuff, no one seemed to realized that it was my birthday that day. I sighed in disappointment and continued to watch the show.
The hot humid weather got my really dirsty, so I wanted to go down stairs to grab a drink. As I was walking down the staircase to my kitchen, all the noise vanished into thin air, the living room was unusually quiet. I was kind of freaked out, wondering what was going on as I took every step down the stairs. All of a sudden, I heard my parents’ voice, they started singing the happy birthday song! When I made my turn towards the kitchen, I saw my parents bringing out a beautiful Tiramisu cake. Then two of my little cousins came out holding two big box of presents for me. It was really sweet and touching, I bursted into tears and thank them. It was the most memorable birthday I’ve ever had.

This photo represents/symbolizes me well because I am not a biased person–I am fully aware of that there are always two side of story, so I’d rather try to look at both sides of story/thing instead of ignoring one of them–Postive and negative; warm and cold; light and darkness; myself and others.

I enjoy taking landscape photos. I don’t have time to take photos anymore but I still like it.

            How do I determine my life value? For me, what is the best and what is the worst?Who is the real person of me? Here I will give you all the answers.

            I believe, no one knows what kind of characteristics I have, at least I haven’t seen one so far. Some of my friends say I am hard to get along with because I am least likely to communicate with others. Well, the reason behind it is I am so self confident. I believe nothing I cannot handle. I do communicate with others, but all depend on necessity. I would rather choose to remain silence if the topic is about weather and fashions that have nothing to do with my success.

            Such a person like me will always have multiple sides. I always believe, we should not reveal our true characteristics in front of others so easily, members not in your own family but relatives, especially. What is the point of this? Save the best to the last—this will always help people survive in the society. However, that doesn’t mean we should trust nobody. None can succeed without the helps from others in this society. The message is to remind you that we are all living in a world that is either using or being used. Life is just like a game, there is only one winner. Who is going to win? That depends on what card is still on your hand.

             However, if there is only one winner, what are the rest doing to do? You don’t need to worry, because we always say, “Failure is the mother for success.” What is the meaning behind it? It is like telling you that a cat can give birth to a rat. This is definitely going to kill a lot of people. I do not know why people can be so optimistic after their failure. Failure is the mother for our next success? If success comes after failure, that means we just need to fail, then we will be successful next time? What nonsense about it. Maybe you have a different viewpoint from me, but this is what I thought. Instead, we should remind ourselves: failure is not the mother for the next success, but failure again.  

             Do not let those quotes seduce you. They are absolutely like guidance, but they might lead you to a dead end. “To be or not to be, that is a question…”

Elian Cohen

My monolog:

One day my mom came to me and says: “Elian, your father and I talk about it and we decided that we going to live in America”.

I didn’t know what to say, I just cry. It was the second time in my life that I really cry. It was hard for me to accept my parent decision. I didn’t know what I’m going to do? Were I’m going to live? I love my country, I have beautiful country, the people are great, my friends are amazing and Tel-Aviv is the best place in the world. But I’m going to be in this haven place without my family, the people that always be there for me, tells my the true, support me, love my as I love them…. I didn’t speak, I just cry…no one could understand me.

My mom says to me: you see, your friends will start there own life: college, family, trips to see the world, and you will stay here alone. This is the way of life… I guess she’s right although I’m not agreed.

After few mounts I tell my friends that I’m going to live in N.Y, they were surprise and sad, but they comfort me and says: hey you going to live in N.Y it’s the center of the world, it’s the big apple, -we will visit you-. And that’s how it was, almost all of my friends came. It makes my very happy because of that it doesn’t seams so bad.

But still, every day I’m thinking about my home, my real home- the place that I belong to. I always be the Israeli girl.  🙂

If you like me, have a hard time finishing your homework on time, you need to prioritize your activities. Sometimes, I plan to study for my exam which is at the end of the month, but then I never get time to attempt my math questions. Do not try to get ahead of yourself in such a manner. First, you should complete your daily homework. These daily homework’s may include required readings, sets of math questions or questions from history articles. Next, you should study for quizzes and exams. Lastly, worry about the long term projects, midterms and finals. At the end of the day, if you still have time after following my hard studious schedule, you can go have fun exactly what I am doing right now.

Hello my full name is Kyunggoo Chang but most of people can’t get my name right so I just use my initials as my name. I’m a very easy going person. I rarely get angry or offended by something. So you don’t have to worry about anything when you are talking to me.

My main concern is, of course, my grades. I think I will get a decent GPA for my freshman year. The classes so far are not that challenging than I expected. Another concern is knowledge. Up until now, I only studied for my my grades not for my own good. Therefore, I forgot everything that I learned in high school. However, now I want to have some legit knowledge  that will help me in future. Last not but least, friends. I want to make some good friends who I can trust.

Baruch college is different from H.S. in a way that I only have to take three classes at most. When I was in H.S. I took 6 classes a day which was just annoying. Things I learned in school got all mixed up and confused me. Now, it is manageable since I only have to take several classes a day.

My first year at college will lead and adapt me in to the college life so it is easier for me to take more challenging classes next year.

There are many new things I have yet not attempted at Baruch College. Even though the first week is over, there are many new things to attempt. These things may be mental, and social. I also have many different ways to achieve these goals. I can not wait to finish my goals or my first year as a freshman at Baruch College.

          Academically, as a freshman, there are many new lessons to gain in this college. In order to succeed academically, a superior grade point average would be needed. For me, I would personally plan out a GPA somewhere between a 3.6 to a 4.0 in a variety of classes, to plan out my major. This high GPA would require me to study and study and only study. After ending my high school, I have started to aim at this goal by limiting my schedule to repeated studying. 

          Other than academics, I would like to gain some friends socially. Even though this is a type of hard aim, for a silent type of student like me, I think it is achievable. I would like to increase my intellectual level drastically. At the end, this is not easy to write or say, but there are many improvements in my life yet to be made.
