Starting with a simple introduction, my name is Zhechen Wu. As an international student from China, I study in Cheshire Academy since I am a Freshman. My favorite food is Naan, a food that is invented in desert. My favorite sport is tennis and cross-country, but I consider myself as a fat kid which restricts my performance in both of these sports. Still, these sports brings me a lot of fun and memorable experience which further interests me enjoying these kinds of sports.

Each person is considered different because everybody lives in a different environment and learnt something different from their surroundings. With that in mind, I always like hiking outside or travel to different areas to meet different people. What I mean meet is, communicate and share their thoughts, understand what’s their hope in their life and try to maintain a relationship with him (simply friend). So, that is the main reason when I choose to pick a country to study, I choose to come to the United States. No countries like United State have different people, different cultures that are combined and turn into something else. So, the first important thing I will like to introduce is: explore.

The next important thing that comes to my mind is how I appreciate darkness. When I am a freshman here, to be honest, I am really afraid of the darkness that covers the town. Different from urban cities, the darkness in villages or rural areas is so heavy that makes me feel I am simply a weak creature. However, when I start to explore nature, staying in grasslands and desert through a night. I find out that darkness is not something special, it is only a part of nature. Afterward, I find out the benefit of night: alone and quiet. So, it is now one of my hobbits to run during night times in backfield to enjoy the quietness.

There aren't any other things I consider important for me so I will simply introduce something else. Personally, I have some weird traits that might consider disturbing to others. The first thing I wish to introduce is my music choice. I like to listen to any genre of music, however, I hate when music uses vocal sounds as the main soundtrack. Music with a small amount of singing such as using vocal voice as instruments to combine with other instruments is acceptable however songs that use vocal voice from the beginning until the end is not acceptable. So, with such weird hobby, I have no idea about most of the singers and pop culture that comes from songs.

To explore more, I need to have more skills. One necessary skill is public speaking. Although I did not pick this course, but after academic office put it on me, I did not leave the course because there is something I want to learn here: braveness. The braveness to talk with more people with confidence is what I want to get from this class. Even more, I want to learn how to react faster in public areas, how to control my body motions and how to bring useful comments are some specific skills I want to understand.
