Hi! this is Shu Ling Chen (Karen)
This is the second time I have to write about myself at Baruch college. I have to write a monologue on how I interpret myself base on the free writes I did in class. So, What am I? Well, I am a college student, an older sister, a daughter, a nieces, and a granddaughter. My family is very important to me, especially my mom. I am a person who gets satisfy very easily. I’ll be happy when I can eat, hang out with friends, and do good in school.
After rereading my free writes, I realize that I am a person who can adopt to a new environment very fast. My response to all the question asking me “How am I at Baruch?” is very simple, as if I’m not experiencing something new. But I am. I also found out that I don’t like to deal with complicated and troublesome stuff. This was my response to the question ” What don’t you like?” However, this have to change! The Adult life is way more complicated than I thought it would be, I have to start liking and stop complaining when I have to do something complicated or troublesome.
I believe that in order for you to like something you originally don’t like, first you have to pretend that you like it. For instance, I use to hate eating tomatoes, I hate it so much that I would throw up after taking a bit of it. However, I want to eat tomatoes because they are good for you. Therefore, I tell myself that I do like tomatoes. I eat a little bit of it every time I have a chance, and now I love to eat tomatoes. A lot of my friends say that I think and worry about the weirdest things . For example, the tomatoes , it’s weird how I force myself to eat something I don’t originally like. Oh wells, they still like me, so I guess I’m fine.
