Welcome!

Welcome to my website.

I am Xiaofeng Huang, a freshman at Baruch College. I believe that I am a person who can adapt to a new environment quickly and are willing to take actions for achieving my goals. 

Looking back at my previous life, I was so surprised because I never imagine the path of my life will be changed. I, a traditional Chinese girl, had lived in China for 18 years. However, everything had changed since three years ago when I flew to the United States with my family.

In strange surroundings with an unfamiliar language, I did not know how to support myself at the very beginning especially about my college study because I already had finished high school in my country. Besides, I was over 17 years old; according to the education regulation of New York City, students do not qualify to enroll in public high school over 16-year-old. Therefore, it was impossible for me to go to a regular high school. As a result, I wasted my time watching TV, eating, and sleeping during that period. Furthermore, my relatives always joked that I was getting fatter and fatter.

Later, I found the I was unable to communicate with my cousins due to language obstacle. What made me feel bad and uncomfortable was that instead of joining them, I only could stand aside. Gradually, I blocked myself, which drove me to a worse and worse situation. Honestly, I had ever secretly sworn to start learning English and not to be decadent; however, I did not know how to start it. I was thinking that since I was afraid to speak English with a familiar person, then I could learn when communicating with other unfamiliar English speakers. Even though I had a solution, the next problem was coming soon which was where I could find them. Coincided with the time that my classmates were looking for jobs, I knew working in foreign companies was a good choice. Therefore, I was eager to join them. I consulted them a lot about their experiences and spent much time looking for related information about how to get a job and interview. However, I gave up quickly because I feared and believed that I would fail.

One day, I did not know what happened to me, but I only knew my feet led me to a clothing store to apply for the salesperson position without too much thinking and hesitation when I saw the recruitment information in the window. Luckily, I got the job. I was so excited because it meant that I achieved the first step of my plan to practice spoken English. From then on, I realized that as long as we were willing to take the first step, the opportunity would come to you.  Then, I became a president of the Performing Arts Club in transfer high school and graduated from there as salutatorian.

Now, I am planning to major in Actuarial Science at Baruch College. I hope I can be a braver and braver person, realize my value in college, and achieve my goals one by one.

In addition, you can find more about me on my blog, resume, and contact pages.
