Introduction of myself Yang Wang English 102 Project 1: Personal Research 1/20/2014 Introduction of Myself My name is Yang Wang, and I am from China; additionally, I live in Chinatown of Chicago. This is my third semester in Harold Washington College, and I am taking three other classes this term include Biology 121, Sociology 201, and Math 118 which I need to stud online . In this paper, I will share some information to let others know me; at the same time, it will let me know myself better. I was born in a small city of Sichuan which is located in the southwest part of China. My hometown is famous for delicious, spicy food in China, so I also love Sichuan cuisine very much. After I finished my college study in China, my curiosity drove me to come to America because I wanted to see what the other part of the world looks like. I chose Chicago because my uncle is here. In Chicago, I make a lot of friends, and I am also improving my English. After I finish study at Harold Washington College, I will apply for a program named Dental Hygiene at Kennedy King College because I think it is easier to find a job. Most people said it was really tough, especially for those whose mother language is not English. However, I think I already chose the way where I need to go; I should not be afraid of the difficulties I will meet. Frankly speaking, I am a very independent person because I have my own ideas and opinions for everything which concern myself. For example, when I chose my major in the college, a lot of people suggested I study accounting or finance; however, I still insisted on my own decision to study about health care. In order to make a right decision, I often make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of the result. At the same time, I also list the benefits and challenges of the process. Besides this, I often like to listen to others suggestions, and I will pick out some ideas which are helpful for making the right decision. LinLing, one of my friend, said, I really admire your wisdom and confidence when you are making your important decision. You can analyze the outcome which is good or bad for you. When I saw making the list, I thought you were solving the logical math problems. That is why you always know which side you need to choose." Apart from this, I am also an expressive person. Because I am working a part time job as a server in a Chinese restaurant, I need to explain what ingredients are included and how the chef prepares for them, and what the dish tastes like. Sometimes, I also need to remind my customers some dishes include ingredients, such as sesame seeds, nuts, and some seafood because they may be allergic to these food. Additionally, I also like to introduce traditional Chinese cuisine to Americans if they want to try some typical local area cuisine China. One of my customers, Megan, confirms this idea, Your English is good compare with others in Lao yunnan (my work place). You like to introduce some special awesome dishes which are just right for me. Because of your introduction, I know how delicious Chinese cuisine is. In English 102, I hope I can conduct some projects, such as interview, surveys, and research. Through those projects, I can improve my communicating and writing skills. On the other hand, I am also nervous about my speaking skills. Because I am afraid I cannot express what I want to say with my limited words in English when I talk to others.
