Today, I wake up at 12 pm because I pulled an alnighter to do my homework on Saturday. I then went to the school Cafeteria to have lunch and then I went to a mixer for international students to socialize with friends. In the afternoon, I came home and read a new fiction in Chinese language and I went back to study after dinner till now. I found out that most of my activities are academic centered and I really love to study, so I say that wisdom is an essential part in my life. My activities also focused on the developing of friendship. However, values such as integrity could not be directly seen through daily activities: it is more like a standard for the individual.

I think that from my family, I inherited the idea that knowledge is very, very important. For example, both of my parents are teachers and they used to require me to study at least 5 hours per day and read many many books. I enjoy reading and learning and I think learning is a lifelong thing. I think that health is really important and only putting academics in the first place is not a valid idea, so I am starting to exercise two times per week now. I think that knowledge, although important for personal development, is not everything. For me, I want to develop more on my leadership skills so that is what I am going to work on and I think that I am kind of nerdy, so it is not very easy for me to take leadership development as something that could be quickly learned and practiced.
