self description

My name is Cathy and I’m almost 18 years old but I just became a junior in high school. The reason that I am still a junior is because I came to Saipan, a small island that is located at middle of the Pacific Ocean, to study English. That time, I couldn’t speak English well so the principle put me in to lower grade than the grade that I actually have to go in following my age. I was not very happy at the first time because then I would graduate with younger people than me. However, now I love our class. Our class is kind of loud, but all of us are having so much fun together at school. Our class is the biggest class in our school and so many interesting things happen all the time. Also, now I can tell that if I went in to higher grade, it would be much harder for me to adjust to the new environments of foreign school. It has been 3 years passed after I first came to Saipan. Now, I feel comfortable to be on this island than 3 years ago. 3 years ago, I couldn’t even say that my homestay is a home that I have to live until I graduate because I felt so lonely without my parents and friends in Korea. However, now, things have become familiar to me, so now I don’t feel lonely anymore, and I sometimes think that Saipan is better than Korea.

 I have a lot of things that I like, but there are 3 things that I especially like. First of all, I love perfumes. I really want to start collecting perfumes but it would cost too much for me, a student who studies alone in foreign country. My favorite perfume is La petite Robe Noire from GUERLAIN. This one first gave me interests in perfume and made me seek as many as possible numbers of perfumes that have nice scents. Someday I would start collecting nice perfumes over the world when I get my job.
 

         Second thing that I like to do is listening to music. I am always with earphones on except I am having meal, memorizing something or talking with somebody. I am writing this with music, also. I love music. This is not a bad thing but there is one disadvantage having this habit. Last time I was studying AP American history for chapter test, but suddenly I just wanted to listen to music and I just spent 2 hours for music instead of study for 2 hours. That time I seriously though about how I would reduce time to listen to music, but I decided to not to do anything. I know that my decision for me wouldn’t last long, so I just told myself to control the time to spend for music.
 
            


       The last thing is Hello Kitty. Since I had ability to recognize characters, I liked Hello Kitty and only Hello Kitty. I have many Hello Kitty stuffs. I can see 5~6 things that have Hello Kitty printed on my desk right now. I think I would like this cute little cat even until I have a daughter and my daughter’s room would be decorated with Hello Kitties.

         

 

         I tried my best to describe myself, but I know that it is not perfect. I think it is easier to describe somebody else than to describe myself because I actually don’t know how I look like to others and how they think about me. For me, this was the hardest topic on the lists of topics that I have to write journal about.
