I would describe my first semester at Baruch as this picture shows. Baruch is a new, exciting and nerve wrecking adventure but I am glad that I was here to experience it. Everything new I learn at Baruch makes me feel as if I just accomplished something, even I don’t know what but I have learned what college is like and even if this does not refer to every college I know the gist of how college operates, the classes, the professors, student resources and I hope that when I go to other colleges they will have the same resources available for students. I have experienced both grew professors who care a lot for their students and professors who make the work college harder than necessary but these professors only helped me learn to adapt to each professor and how to deal different professors. I can only say that my one regret was not being very sociable because I can say that I did miss out on some aspects of college. I like to sociable atmosphere in Baruch because it is very welcoming and an great experience for a freshman college student.

Hi, I’m Christine, well to be more specific I am an Asian- American female who is trying to live a normal life. Before I continue let me just say that this is not going to be a depressing monologue so don’t feel sorry for me because with out my allergies I am not the Christine I was today. So when I think of allergies I think of itchy eyes, sneezing and rashes. I never thought to think about other severe allergic reactions but now I have to. One of my more severe allergic reactions are my rashes. My rashes started in elementary school, 5th grade, and they continue today but one major difference was the severity of my allergic reactions. My allergic really got worse in 7th grade, it got so bad that I had to wear Gauze to cover the rash, the rash ripped through skin and flesh. Since the rash got increasingly worse me and my parents had to go from doctor to doctor to find the cause of my rashes. I ad to go to many doctors, both professional doctors and Chinese herbal doctors. The doctor never helped me out until I was referred to ENT Allergies where I met Dr. Li who told me that I am allergic to many things. Some common things that I were allergic to were rodents, cockroaches, seafood, cats, dogs and dust. When I heard that I was allergic to due and it was the cause of my rashes I thought , what? You can be allergic to dust? To help with my allergies Dr. Li proposed that I try taking immunity shots to make my body more immune towards dust. Those shots never helped but she prescribed me an lotion that helped but never freed me from the rashes. What helped me was my mom, she even contacted her relatives in china to get lotion that may help with my rashes and it did. As of now my rashes are not apparent and I can move my fingers but I do have the the results from my rashes. As I am getting over my rashes I learned that I have hives. This is another allergic reaction where if I over heat my self my body cannot regulate my body temperature and it forms hives. I must say my life has been a roller coaster of emotions but one thing I know is that I am gong to live with these allergies for the rest of my life but I must say that because of my allergies I love to draw and create artistic items or pictures. As I have said before I am Christine because of my allergies.

Subject: Homework question English 2001

Dear professor Anonymous,

I had some difficulty understanding the concept of today’s homework. In chapter 17 of the text book which point of view am I suppose to write my analysis from, is it from the readers point of view or the writers point of view? Thank you for the help.

Sincerely,

Christine Yang

Hi, my name is Christine and this is my first freshman seminar post so I’ll tell a little bit about me. I am an Asian American girl who loves many things some of which are in these pictures I have posted. I LOVE animals and if was up to me I would own a variety of pets but I cannot because of my allergies. So as far as my allergies are concerned I cannot have any animals that have fur and that is one terrible part of my life but I am learning to deal with this. This is why I own parakeets and I love my parakeets, my parakeets are named Blues Clues and Asia (from left to right). I also have a wonderful friend that I consequently met in high school and later found out that we went to the same elementary school. We met under weird conditions because I remembered talking to her first and I remembered saying “I know you from somewhere,” and from there on we became best friends (as seen in the black and white picture).  Then comes along my graduation day, the day that I end a  chapter in my book and start a new one, where I knew that I had to fend for myself in college and for the rest of my life. What I really love about the summer vacation is the fact that no matter what the family has gone through, the tough and rough times in that year, we always plan a family vacation where we go on vacation together to reconnect and have fun together. In that family vacation I can see my grandma and my mother enjoy themselves and have fun because they deserve it for all they have done for the family. These are only some of the few things that I love and I believe that I cannot live without because these picture show some of the things I treasure the most and what influenced me to become who I am today.
