For our New York Times front page project, we came up with some topics that relate to our daily life at the beginning, like food, sleeping and healthy eating. But once we started looking up articles for the topics, we realize that those were not the right one. Then we started brainstorming all over again. For this time, we started thinking about the topics that are relate to Baruch or college students, because we knew that we need to write an article that’s related to Baruch. One of our group members suggest that we can write some financial tips for everyone, because Baruch is a business school and it’s never too early to learn some financial tips. After the topic was decided, we did research individually and share with each other afterward, and then we chose the articles together and started writing the summaries and the article. I think all the articles we read and the article that Sona wrote was very informative because I did actually learned a lot of financial tips from these articles.

My life journey started in an early morning in the winter of 1994 in a small city of China. In the first 14 years of my life, I was a normal Chinese girl growing up in a big loving family. But things changed in 2008, I came here and became part of the Big City.
There are two things that I treasure the most in my life, my family and friendship. I can always depend on my family, because I know they will always support me no matter what happen and they will always provide a warm and lovely home for me to rest when I’m tired. And my friends, I might not have too many friends, but all my friends are the best. They help me out when I met difficulties, guide me to the right path when I get lost and bring happiness to me all the times.
Talk about interest, I’m not the same as most people —- I am not a sport person. Since I was a little kid, I’m totally not good at sport and not really like it either. But I kind of like to play badminton and swim, I think it’s probably because these are the only two things that I know how to play.
But I like traveling, because it is like a short escape from life. During the trip, I don’t need to worry or think about anything, I just go play, eat and sleep. My dream is to travel all around the world, because there are so many beautiful sceneries and delicious foods out there and I want to see and eat them all. Up to today, I don’t really have the opportunity to travel too far away from home, but I’m trying my best to work something out. I have a part time job as a TA and Chinese tutor in a Daycare Center, and I would put half of my salary into my “travel fund”, so I can have a three days or a week vacation at least twice a year.
As I mention before, I work in the Daycare Center, at most of the time I love my job, because I love to play with the kids and watch them grow up days by days. But sometimes they drive me crazy, especially when they all start crying and screaming. I used to think about being teacher as my career, but after all I realize I’m lock of patient and I don’t want to surround by kids all days(I just work there as part time now, so it is okay). So now I decided to major in Accounting, because this is the only subject in Business filed that I’m interesting in.
