My Photos

Hi, my name is Delia Wu, and I came to Baruch from a not very well-known school, East-West School of International Studies. I had a small graduating class of ninety-five Seniors, and a handful of these kids came to Baruch College as well. One of them is also in this class; you may know her by the name of Gabby.

I was raised by my grandmother because my parents were often too busy to look after me. I lived with her  in China when I was very young, but it was only for a brief amount of time. We both moved in with my parents in New York  permanently when I was at the age of four.

One of my favorite days is my eighteenth birthday. That was the first time I was able to have all my friends gather around and hang out.

In the picture with the two polaroid photos are my best friends and me. We have been a fairly tight clique since the beginning of high school. We are still very close even though we have separated and went to different colleges.

I grew up with two older sisters. My oldest sister is a nurse, a model, and the winner of several beauty pageants. She is twelve years older than me, and ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be more like her. My other sister is still in school at CUNY Queens College, and she’s studying to become a math teacher. My sisters and I all look and act very differently. The only thing we have in common is probably our stubbornness.

I spent the Summer of 2012 helping out political leaders in their campaigns. It was pretty much just standing out in the streets and helping people register to vote. I spent this Summer working at Subway, the sandwich shop. I actually worked six days a week for the entire summer, but now that I started school, I had to cut down to only three days.
