Eight Images That Represent Me

Hi, my name is Jeanne Ta. I’m a freshman at Baruch as you all know. I’ve lived in New York for as long as I can remember. I made an eight picture slide show to represent who I am. I’m not very good at sports but I am really good at badminton. I played badminton for most of the years I’ve spent in high school. As I mentioned, I’m not athletic so I don’t know how to swim or ride a bike. Just recently during this summer, I learned how to ride a bike with the help of my friends.
My favorite fruit is longon. Not many people know what this fruit is; it has a slight honey flavor to it. The flesh of this fruit is soft and chewy. It is usually available during the summer. I remember I choked on the seed of this fruit when I was very young and I was very scared at the time.
I really like to cook, but usually only the foods that I like to eat. I learned to cook little by little starting from when I was seven. Of course, there were many failures as I learned to cook new foods, but my family supported me along the way by eating whatever I made. I also like to bake sweets. In my family, I’m always given the job of baking sweets for special occasions because I think it is very fun. Each time I successfully make something, I feel very accomplished.
Before, I never really thought of myself as an artistic person, but now I have realized that I enjoy painting landscapes. I joined an art class during the summer because I wanted something to do. I was surprised that I really enjoyed painting landscapes and looked forward to each class. Although I enjoy painting, I think it will stay as a hobby. People have encouraged me to pursue this in college but I can’t see myself doing this in the future.
When I was young, I always wanted to play the piano because it made such beautiful music with each note being played. I took a piano class in school a few years back and I thought that I would love it but I didn’t. The music was beautiful but having to read the musical notes was very tedious. It was very difficult for me to memorize the notes of the piece I was playing, but I’m glad that I at least tried and found out that I don’t like it. It makes me feel that life is a series of trial and error; you won’t know what you’ll like until you’ve tried it. So in the upcoming years at Baruch, I hope I can learn many things.

My name is Amy and my legal Korean name is Chaiyoung. I was born in Korea and moved to New York in 5th grade. Being an outgoing, and friendly person, I was able to settle into the new environments quickly. If you take a look at my first slide, you’ll notice that I was a really tiny little girl back in like Pre-K. I was always the smallest person in my grade.My parents are so proud of me for reaching the height of 5 feet and 2 and a half inches today. My second slide shows my favorite sports, Volleyball. I started playing Volleyball in 8th grade for church events and fell in love with it and couldn’t stop playing. My team was always considered to be weak, young, and bad. However this year spring changed everything! We finally got the first place trophy and we knew all our hard works finally paid off. I don’t think I will ever stop playing Volleyball even though I’m not a professional athlete. My third slide shows my passion for my church. I am a devoted Christian and love spending time in church with my friends. My fourth slide is a picture of me and my sister. She’s nine years younger than me, yet we still have fun together, fight all the time, and forgive each other just like other typical siblings. My fifth slide is pictures taken from SixFlags. I go there at least once a year, and I can proudly say that I’ve been on every single rides in that amusement park in NJ. I love roller-coasters. I always wait a bit longer on the lines just to ride in either the front seats or the back seats. My 6th slide shows my birthday cards including a gigantic birthday poster. I am so happy to have a best friend that can write me such a long and special birthday card. My seventh slide shows many things about me. I like to dance with friends.  Many might assume that I’m musically talented by looking at those two pictures, but the twist is that I have no musical talents whatsoever. I love singing, but I’m almost tone deaf. I tried learning guitar for few months and miserably failed. Music doesn’t go with me. Besides Volleyball, I also like to snowboard. My last slide have my selfies. I take so many pictures of myself whenever I’m bored. It’s my biggest hobby.
