Discovering me.

What makes me, me? This question always seems to randomly pop up in my head. My name is Kristie Ching, I am Chinese, I am a female, and the list would never end, but even with all these details how can I distinguish myself from everyone else? Well maybe what makes me, me, is my past, my dreams and how I plan on turning those dreams into realities.

As a young girl, I was always really shy and quiet. I barely talked to anyone outside of my family and I was afraid of pretty much everything. It was weird how my shyness reduced when I taught those who were younger than me. Eventually my weird shy personality changed when I moved back to Queens. Here, I made new friends and began learning how to be a better person, while still holding onto my love of teaching and finding new interests along the way.

Today, I am a student at Baruch College, although this was not my first choice, I don’t regret making this choice, because here I met some great people that helped me in my transition into this new learning environment. At first, I was so worried that my shyness would make it extremely hard to make new friends, which was probably my main concern about college, but I’m glad to see that it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. I’m starting to enjoy coming to Baruch every day, and no I’m not talking about the commute. It’s nice to make new friends in a different environment while learning things that I’ve never learned before. So I may not be completely certain of who I really am or what exactly I want to be in the future yet, but I’m hoping that I’ll be able to figure it out here at Baruch.

hmmm. this is supposed to be 2 minutes long right? lol..
