Different cultures and different languages were the most challenging problems for me to deal with. I know that I need to be independent and know how to take care about myself. In the metro area, it is totally different from China. I always take the subway to school so it was especially hard for me to get through all the congestion of traffic and the comprehension of subway map. I get frustrated so easily in rush hour and it makes me mad when people bump into me while I am holding my Macbook and the huge portfolio bag. To speak with the challenges I am struggling with right now, I am suffering through all the overwhelming hardships to understand what I have to do with my assignments. I major in Fine Arts in Parsons, however, freshmen are required to attend other liberal arts to raise culture, and it is difficult for me to catch up.
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to my major session next year. I have been painting for 6 years as a hobby. I also graduated arts high school and learned fine arts that I’m walking on the path towards my life as an artist. My works are usually drawn in oil paint and I like drawing in dark and depressing atmosphere such as skeleton. When I’m working my piece, I feel free from all the challenges in this strange place and feel comfort as I’m in my home with my lovely mother and friendly father. Within this object, It also recall me of a watch that my parents gave me when I was young. I brought it with me in long way to New York, always take with me like a tattoo in my skin. It is specially kept in the small box so that It wouldn’t worn out quickly.
As an ordinary weekend, I woke up at 1pm. Now I am heading to blick to buy my materials for my next project. Then I’ll play game with my friends and have date with my lovely girlfriend. Being an International student for almost 6years, I got used to hanging out with my friends who fill up my loneliness. However, this object brings me to remembrance the day I traveled to Sanghai with my parents. I can commit that it was my most memorable moment in my life. I’m the only child, however, parents fill my void of loneliness with their lots of love, interest and support. I always feel like a blessed child and thankful to all their love.
