When I was child, I like color more than figures. It is strange my father is working for business industry now and my mother was working for bank. However, I do not effect by my parent, I really like colors more even I do not know the reason. I like to use my pencil to draw what are beautiful stuffs or things to me, and use camera to catch a beautiful moment or meaning features. Therefore, comparing with other normal children, I can feel more in the color things and know how to use my painting tools to describe what I feel and see from my point of view. I can use my imaginations could be expressed in a small piece of paper, and it gives me a vivid world. That's exactly the charm of it. At this moment, I think, I mostly like other teenagers and modern Asian girls. I have to study seriously in school in order to enter my desired university. Every high school in Taiwan requests every student to get high grade in math, physics, chemistry, history and other course in all aspects. This kind of requirement makes me study under high pressure because I do not have enough time to perform my interested arts such as drawing and painting. As usual, I have dreams and goals for my future but I really do not like this kind of pressure at all. This makes me in a dilemma whether I have to follow other peers to study what university request or pursue what I interested. After I came to USA, I found out American education system and culture is very different from Asian. Asian education system does not respect student personal will and force every student to study hard in order to get into better universities. I also relies America student have more creativity than most Asian student.
Like many other Asian countries, Taiwan's educational system begins with nine years of compulsory education. After finishing compulsory education, I have to take national exams in order to receive high school education. Actually I don't like to study because I get bored when I do, besides, the majority of my friends don't study. One day, I realize I have to study hard because I wanted to make my parent proud. I want everyone proud of me. Therefore, I was beginning my studies. It was hard time because I cannot get enough time to sleep. I only can sleep four to five hour every day. I still can remember I got lot of pimple on my face. One hundred day left, I was cry everyday during studying. I always tell myself "everything is just beginning, don't afraid". Finally, my wishes were answered. I got acceptance letter from the school I really want. Lot of my friend cannot believe I got acceptance letter because I always play with them seem like I didn't study at all. My dream has come true. Everything is good but I feel something is wrong. I don't like Asian education system, because our school years are quite severe with rote learning and intense pressure to study and get good grades. I know that's the positive actually, but it was tired if you have lot of quiz and homework every day. After six month high school life, my parent tells me do I have interest study in America. I agree without the slightest hesitation. So My America dream start. The "America Dream" means many different things to many different people. For me, I want to change my life so I agree to come here. I like challenges and to overcome it with a smile on my face. Even though it is very difficult because my first language is not English. I know little bit simple English in Taiwan but not very well because I always got F at school. First time when I come here I hate everything about English. I cry everyday and no one can help me. Sometime I lost myself. With interaction as it is with people, and the fact I cannot truly and purely be secluded in life. It was terrible and painful memory. Everything is better right now.
