Where I’m From, Where I’m going
Other than a student, I am also the son of a pair of immigrants. Due to this, I feel obligated to adhere to my Chinese heritage while trying to fit into the American world here. There has been some racism in my past due to the area I live in, this has led me to become a bit more reserved when it comes to meeting new people or trying new things, but I feel like I am starting to try and be more outgoing. Being Chinese, family is very important. Family is one of the more important aspects in the Chinese culture. I try to go home everyday to eat dinner with my family. The nights that I’m not home for dinner are usually reserved for special occasions like birthdays or parties.
I expect that in college, everything will be at least a little harder. I expect more work, but also more time to do the work. So far, this has been true. Also, I expect to learn more and to change certain behaviors and bad habits in the past. I hope to become more organized and focused. I hope that I will do well in the first semester. Back in high school, I was off to a bad start, I regretted it for the other three years I was there. However, I feel like my lack of organization and my bad habits will get into my way. Also, I have been concerned about the tests since I haven’t taken any yet. That will change by Monday though. Hopefully not all the stressful events will be crammed into 1 week again.
