Hello to everyone reading!<\/p>\n
This is my first time writing and publishing a blog post. I\u2019ve never considered blogging prior to this, but here goes…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To start off, just a little bit about me:<\/p>\n
I was born In China and immigrated to Canada at a young age.\u00a0I feel genuinely blessed to be a part of two vastly different cultures, both of which have helped shape the person I am today as well as my values and outlook on life. Besides English, I’m fluent in Cantonese and can understand conversational Mandarin and French.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m an avid traveller. For my most recent travel this summer, a few friends and I went on a 3-week trip to Japan, stopping in Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, and Osaka. From the food, sights, to its hospitality culture\u2014everything was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I did not want to leave by the end!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a self-diagnosed drama addict (and movie buff). You are too? Let\u2019s talk!<\/p>\n
Favourite drama: Reply 1988<\/p>\n
Favourite movie: The Shawshank Redemption<\/p>\n
Favourite director: Christopher Nolan<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why Arts One?<\/p>\n
What first drew me to the program were its teaching\/learning structure and its theme-based focus on the humanities. However, it was the course material (which includes an exciting array of novels, comics, texts, films, etc.) as well as the prospect of coming out as a better writer that had me convinced.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m nervous and excited for the upcoming year\u2014nervous about the unknown and excited to learn with others who share common academic interests.\u00a0I hope that we can all emerge as better\u00a0writers and critical thinkers.<\/p>\n
Cheers to the year ahead!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
