Hi, I’m Yuyan. I created an eight image slideshow to show who I am.
China flag: I was born in Beijing, China and I came to New York when I was 4. I can speak Chinese well but reading and writing Chinese can be difficult for me. I visit China almost every summer and I spend a month there. Most of my family lives there and it’s nice to go back and see them.
Beach: I love the beach. During the summer, I spend most of my time on the beach, reading, eating snacks, and jumping the waves. I love the warm sand and the salty air. The beach is always relaxing and it just represents summer to me. I’m hoping to live near the beach when I grow up.
Traveling: In the future, I want to spend a year or two traveling around the world. There’s so much to see and explore. I went to China, Australia and some parts of Europe but there’s always more.
Swimming: I love to swim and I was on the swim team in high school. I learned to swim when I was 8 and it’s been my favorite sport ever since.
Friends: “Friends” has been my favorite show ever since I watched it. It’s great that no matter how many times I’ve seen an episode, when it reruns on T.V., I’ll always watch it again. I want a group of friends like that when I grow up. The show makes me laugh, cry, reminisce and hope at the same time.
Art: Art has been so important to me for many years now. I originally wanted to go to an arts school and major in interior designing. Art is one of those techniques where you can literally express yourself and it can be interpreted in so many ways. I love that art is never wrong and it can go in so many directions.
Sweets: I have a huge sweet tooth especially for gelato. Fruity flavors are my favorite and I crave it all the time. I love going to cafes and trying different sweets with coffee or tea. Oh, and I love coffee too.
Fashion: I honestly spend way too much money on clothes. I used to follow up on fashion a lot but recently, I don’t really have the time. I love fashion and how different each item of clothing can be. For awhile, I wanted to major in fashion designing but it’s really difficult to grow as a designer. However, it was fun making clothes and sketching “designs.”

Thanks for sharing, Yuyan! I’m with you — if a Friends rerun is on TV there is no way that I can change the channel — even if I’ve seen the episode a million times! I hope you’ve been able to keep up your creative side — fashion, art… it can be such a good balance to school!
