Personally, I like simple adornments and colors, such as black and white. In my closet, basically all are black and white colors clothes and pants. To be specific, I always like wearing black jeans and white or black coat or T-shirt. I think I like the simplicity of the adornment is because of my value. I am a very straightforward and simple person, and I believe in that I directly express my true views shows my respect. Of course, sometimes I will keep some words when I think it may hurt others. Also, photograph is one of my important values, and it influences me a lot, especially for my taste of adornments. I like photographing very much in my spare life. I spent almost all the time on taking pictures, because I learned a lot from taking pictures. I was beginning to learn to take pictures in order to save some small details of my life of, and then I gradually found that I fell in love with the camera because I gain a sense of accomplishment from looking pictures I shot. Whenever I aftertaste my old photos, I will be very deeply felt own growth mood by comparing different mood of taking picture and admiring picture. As a non-art major student, I think art is a way of discovering and understanding of self. Gradually, I found myself from my pictures, and I realize that I love the way directly express my self and the way talking black and white photo. I like the way I express my self, and I am becoming more and more confident.

Recently, I love the fitness because I feel that a muscle man who represents the power and strength, so I basically wear very athletic. I think this is one of the biggest changes after I came to the US. In China, even though many people have begun to have a health conscious, but there are still a lot of people do not have the consciousness of working out. Before I came to the US, I thought that fitness is just running. I see lots of American students go to the gym every day, so I started to imitate them and I was surprised to find that I fall in love this way of life. I used to be slim, and always in black jeans and a white T-shirt. However, comparing to the past, I become stronger, and often wearing sporty clothes and pants. Of course, the also choose to wear jeans and T-shirt on the days I don’t work out. I like the change, because I think I have become more and more healthier and my attitude is very positive.

For now, my core belief is that actively choose to live with way making me to become stronger. I would like to say that living in the United States gives me a lot of differences, and I choose to love life and believe in myself. My family is the most important value in my life, because my family always provides me the greatest support. My parents are very amazing people, I think that I like the simple adornment is derived from them. My mother liked fashion, so she likes to wear a variety of beautiful clothes, but she basically dominated by black styles. This is because my mom’s personality is very low-key and pragmatic. My father is a businessman, so he basically wears a suit every day. My father always told me that he was wearing a suit every day in order to maintain his professional attitude as a businessman. I agree with the words of my father very much, and my father’s attitude has been affected me during my life.

For my peer community, I think the Chinese students and American students’ values of adornment are greatly different. For example, lots Chinese students like fashionable and fancy, they like to wear very expensive clothes and bags. American students’ value of adornment is diverse, and basically American students are more creative. For example, lots of American students have Tattoo and piercing, and they like using bright color to express themselves such purple or green hair color. However, lots Chinese students like fancy and fashionable stuff, such as Chanel and louis vuitton and so on. For me, I am deeply influenced by American working out person, because I like to dress like some athletic American students. Adornment is the reflection of the values of a person, so I believe in that it is the most beautiful as long as being yourself no matter what you are wearing.
