Freshman Seminar Spring 2011: F6A

I like my eyes best. In our Myanmar’s culture, if the women’s eyes are beautiful, people used to say the girl has doe’s eyes. Once, one of my admirers said I have doe’s eyes. From that time onwards, whenever I look at the mirror, I feel pleased with my looks. Am I vain?

What I like least is my body structure. I believe, I am chubby. I want to get slim. But, I can’t quit junk foods. Hehehe 😀

I think I’m a warm caring, down to earth person with the pleasant personality.

Although I am not the youngest child in my family, I’m pampered the most.

My mother is the most important person in my life because she’s the one who understands me the most.

I am afraid of cats. I don’t know why. The cats’ eyes scare me. Especially, black cats. In the mummy’s movie, on one scene,a cat scares the mummy, so I thought I was in some ways related to the mummy.

Out of seven days a week, Fridays are the day that I am happiest in anticipation of two full days of rest and pleasure to do whatever I wish. Then again, the happiest moment are the times I visit “ToysRUs” store. Looking and buying cute stuffed dolls.

Family, friends are important to me.

Every Thursdays going to school is hard for me. I work five days a week and on Thursdays, I have two classes and I am very tired after the classes. Then, I have to walk and wait for the subway train and I used to be returning back home.I was hungry all the time.

A moment I felt embarrassed was on the day I fell down into the rain water filled drain. That happened on a raining day about ten years ago. All the boys and girls were looking at me in sympathy. I was cover with water and mud. I felt helpless and confused. I was trying to think how to attend classes in the wet and dirty uniform.

I felt empowered on the day I passed the eighth standard examination with flying colors. I got distinction in three subjects. I was the only one out of four siblings who had done that.

“To live life up to the hilt” is my motto. Life is too short so I am going to live my life to the fullest.

It’s going quite well. Compare to my friends back in Myanmar, I am studying and learning at Baruch College in New York.

The biggest challenge with school right now is to learn, speak and write English better than before.

I love walking from one classroom to other classroom. Back in Myanmar, students have to sit in one classroom throughout the day while the teachers move from one classroom to another.
