Hi my name is Karen. I have been called nicknames such as Karne or Q-Ball before. Sometimes, I may come off as an awkward person. Above, is a link to a video that I think defines who I am. My parents were both born in China and they came to the U.S. as immigrants. I grew up speaking both forms of Chinese to my parents. As a child, I had a passion for music. I liked playing the piano and remembered dedicating about three hours to practice each day. I also played the violin and flute. Music has made me a patient person because I knew that some things cannot be rushed, especially when practicing. In junior high school, I met a group of people. They taught me the meaning of relationship, trust, and friendship. We were an inseparable group of 7. In high school, we were known as the “Loud Group.” Slowly, these people were more than just my friends. They almost held the same importance as my mom and dad. High school was also a time for changes though. I was confused as to what I wanted to become in life. I loved fashion and architecture. I was conflicted between what I want to do and what I should do. In the end, settled for a business major. Designing houses and clothes became a distant dream to me. I hope that one day after I pass my CPA exam, I will go back to school for what I truly like.
