Family

Actually, I dislike this topic since my parents divorced. I don't know who I should talk about because both of them have new families. All right. My parents are hard working. They love their works. I think work is the most part in their lives. This is the same character they have. They hardly enjoy the family time. I am independent since I was in primary school. At that time, I can buy clothes myself, and go to my grandpa's house myself. Also I can cook myself. Even there was a heavy rain, most my classmates' parents came to school to pick them home, I walked home myself. I hope I could have a brother or sister, who can be with me. But in China, it's not permitted. But I still appreciate that my parents gave me freedom. I can choose whatever I like. They won't judge me a lot. They just help me to analyze the advantage and disadvantage. I make decisions myself. Unlike many Chinese families, parents have built the future for their children. The children have to walk the way as their parents like. Even though they live separately now, they love me as before. My father came to New York few weeks ago on business. We enjoyed our time together. I hardly get together with my father because he is busy, he always go to another city or country on business. In my memory, when I was about eight years old, once I had a vacation, I flies to the city where my father lived. He took me for days during work. This time, I found he is getting old, but is still busy. I hope I could afford his life. He is too tired to work hard. This time, When he left, I saw he was in a taxi through the window, thank goodness, the sky was dark like ink, I didn't want he to saw me cried. I just couldn't help myself at that time...... So far, my mother is the person who has given me most in my life. Always, free writing will make writer think much, just like open the lock of your mind. Everything was given by her. Birth, education, living supplies, chance to do my favorites, tell me her own experiences to let me know what is right what is wrong, never told me "you must do this! you have to do that!......" She gave these instead of cooking dishes, washing clothes, doing chores,...... In her eyes, I am always a little girl. Every time I go back, she will give me a hug, even kiss. Now, I am an adult, I always tell them to do anything they like, don't worry about me. Life is short, enjoy life. They did a lot in their lifetime. It's time to relax. See, earthquake is horrible, so don't waste time.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Yang's blog!
    I am from China, you can call me Yang. The city where I live in China is the capital of Henan Provence which locates in the central China--Zhengzhou.
    I graduated from university years ago, my major is business and management. After I got my bachelor degree, I worked. And I had a comfortable life in my hometown. But I don't think that the easeful life should belong to the young people, such like me. Young people should create and experience, even adventure. I hope I could continue study to accumulate enough knowledge and life experience for the future. I plan to apply a master degree in the United States. The reason why I chose United States to study is that when I was in the university in China, ¾ courses were taught by foreign teachers, especially American teachers. I learned American culture, and American English accent. The bachelor diploma I got is from Fort Hays University in United States. In another word, it’s a cooperative program by Zhengzhou University and Fort Hays University. I am familiar with American culture rather than other countries, and I am interest in it.
    I have no chance to use English in my work after graduate. Everything has forgotten day by day. So, my English is poor. I have to study English first so that I can pass the toefl exam which is necessary to apply a graduate school. toefl is really a difficult exam to get a high score. I should work on it. So, that’s why I am here.
    I made a difficult decision to quit my easeful job and came to NYC. I've been in NYC for half a month and I live in Brooklyn. Now, I am studying English in ALI of NYU. The transportation is very convenience in NYC. It only takes two stops from my apartment to the Woolworth building where I study by subway.
    NYC in my eyes is a very open city, it welcomes people from different countries, people with different skin colors, people speaking different languages, people have different thoughts......
    I think that's why it's one of the most famous cities in the world.


    By the way, I like playing billiards, and I am looking for a partner......
