that makes you unique. Feel free to add anything else that you would
like to share about yourself with the class.

Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Doroty, I am Brazilian, originally from Amazon, but I had grown in Rio de Janeiro where I had graduated in Psychology. Actually, I had worked in clinic for two years, but I had decided to switch my career. Instead, analyzing people, I wanted to work in Organizations. It was a difficult process, but I got it. Now, I am a professional of Human Resources. In Brazil, I have been working in Oil and Mining Industry for a couple of years. Since I arrived in Houston, I am improving my English in order to study my Executive Master in Human Resources at University of Houston.
Writing a bit of myself; I am very determined person, what I want be sure that I will do my best. I am honest, care about others and respect the difference. I enjoy running, dancing, working out and activities out door. Moreover, I like people, good music, wine, movie and arts in general. Unfortunately, I do not have any talent for singing or playing musical instrument.
By the way, this is my second semester at LCC where I have had a lot of fun. Definitely, I will miss a lot this time when it'll over.
Hopefully, we can enjoy this time together and good luck for everyone!

Hi guys, my name is Yen Hsiang Wang, this is my Chinese name, or you guys can call me JOHNNY. I'm from Taipei, Taiwan. I graduated from university in 2012 and my major is Biology. Last year, I served in the army of Taiwan for 11 month, it's a mandatory military training, and I worked in a special small island so I have lots of special experience there.
ReplyDeleteI've been H-town for 5 month, and this is my 2nd semester in LCC. I want to be a pharmacist so I plan to study Pharmacy in UH.
I like playing sport, almost every kinds of sport, such as baseball, basketball, badminton, swimming, ride bike. Also I like listening music, watching movie.

Hi, this is Haw Tzou from Taiwan. I was born in Kaohsiung, the largest city in south Taiwan, where is built based on its harbor and industry. I have finish my prime school and secondary school in Kaohsiung; then I came to Tainan, one of the oldest city in Taiwan, to finish my undergraduate study of Earth Science at National Cheng Kung University. After graduating from college, I serviced in Army Special Force as a parachutist as a compulsory soldier. The only thing I remember is endless physical training. By this experience, I became much stronger than I was a student.
ReplyDeleteThen, I came to U.S. on August 2013. I plan to advance my study on geophysics field. This is my ultimate reason I came to American where is the most developed academic environment in the world.
I love outdoor activities, for example, hiking, mountaineering, swimming, climbing, canyoning....etc. I always need something exciting to balance my indoor life; however, I believe a true adventure doesn't need to be challenge or dangerous. Visiting a new place, walking without trail, and swimming in a open water are needed lots of courage; therefore, I believe it is very to find an adventure here.
Hi everyone, I'm Chi. I'm 23 and I'm from Vietnam, an Asian country. I graduated from university last September, my major is Business Administration.
ReplyDeleteI've just been here, in Houston, for nearly a month. So this is also my first semester in LCC.
I'm going to apply for the master course in Human Resource Management.
I hope that after this semester, I can get used to academic English as well as the working/ learning style of American, so that I can be well-prepared for my graduate program. Plus, I'd love to take this chance to make friends and learn more about other cultures.
I have soft voice, and sometimes that makes it hard for people to follow what I'm talking. I'm really sorry about that. I'll work on it more. So please tell me to turn up my volume if you can't clearly hear what I say. It would be a great help for me :)
I love music and novels. Most of the books I've read was in romance, fantasy, historical and Westerns genre. But don't ask me about the content, I have short-term memory so I don't remember many details of every book I read :) What I really enjoy about reading is the feeling of getting lost into another one's story, like you're travelling to a brand new world.
Nice to meet you all!

Hello everyone, I'm so sorry for writing so late, I’m not used to use blogs.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Belen, and I’m from Venezuela. I am mechanical engineer, and I worked for two years in a petroleum company, then I decided to do a master degree, but first I need learn English. I came to Houston the last August, and that’s a funny history because I never planned to come here, but Canada’s immigration and my lost documents made me came here lol. I’ll be start to work in the daycare in a couple of days, and I’m excited about that. This semester will be a little hard to me, because I need to start to prepare myself to the TOEFL and the GRE test, do my job, and get good grades in my classes. I hope to start the next fall a masters program. I love the animals. In Venezuela, my sister, a group of friends and I have a foundation to help homeless pets. I enjoy a lot help them, and try to find a lovely home for them. I have two brothers and one sister, but just one of my brothers is still living with my parents in Venezuela. Since I arrived here, I haven’t much time to miss my family, even when we are really joined, and that is because we talk every day on Skype, and I have a lot of friends here. I don’t have just Venezuelan friends, so I have Saudis, Latins, Africans, and Texans friends. I enjoy talking and sharing with them. In my small free time I like to go to the museum, watching series or movies, and go with my boyfriend and friends to bars or restaurants. I enjoy exercising too because It’s good for health. This semester, my plans are to going every day on bike to the school ( but not if it's raining or snowing), and learn swimming . I always try to do fun things on weekends, so if you are bored you can call me, and we can plan do something. I think it’s all about me. :D
