Have you ever walked down the street and accidentally bump into a small Asian girl with nerdy glasses who keeps looking down at her feet and whispers a soft “sorry” and quickly shuffles her feet to get away? Well, that would be Melanie Ng. Melanie is a rising junior at Stuyvesant High School (haha get all of your laughs out right now) and doesn’t cheat on tests. She loves listening to music and plays viola in one of her school’s multiple orchestras. She is also a rookie on the school’s Ultimate Frisbee team, Stuyvesant Sticky Fingers, and is also a sub on the girl’s golf team. Yes, she’s a noob. She told me to tell you all that she gives you permission to call her one. She enjoys learning history and reading European literature, especially Shakespeare and Goethe. She despises science and math, especially chemistry.
Melanie is shy and timid around strangers. However when she can find someone like her and can communicate well with, she opens up and you will be able to see the real her. Loud, obnoxious, observant, and busy, she will always have time for her friends. She loves animals, especially dogs, and loves to travel the east coast to visit new places. She enjoys going to school early in the morning to watch the beautiful sunrise and to enjoy the quietness and tranquility of the world.
She is a huge fan of Taeyang and his abs. She also despises G-Dragon and his weird hair styles. Both are from the K-pop group Big Bang. She is also a big fan of Lee Hung-Ki from F.T. Island. Melanie is a fan of good, unique, beautiful voices. She doesn’t really care about how famous a group is because of their physical appearance as long as their music is beautiful and pleasing to the ears. She also enjoys watching horror movies like “Hannibal” and “The Mist” and “The Omen”.
At the moment, she is attending the Baruch College Now Summer 2012 program. She is attending the program because she wants to improve her writing skills and wants to meet new people. She wants to attending Boston University or Columbia and to pursue majors in neurology and ethnomusicology.
