English 1010 (0442) Fall 2010: Week 2: Blog entry: "Think of your life experience or the life experience of a close friend or relative. What is a significant moment from that experience, a mom..."
I was born and raised in China. But then i moved to America at age of ten. The life in China was great. Everyone knew everyone and be nice with everyone because we all lived in a small village. Therefore before coming to USA, i thought all the people in the world are just like us; like a big family. Then the next thing i knew is i am in New York! Everything changed or i should said it is different here. I started to see all kinds of people. Dark skin, light skin, nice people, bad people and the people that laughted at me just because i have Asian looking face! However, when God closed a door, he will always open up a window for you. Therefore i found a place name "Chinatown". This place made me feel i am back home! But good day never last long. After living in New York for two years, my parents decide to move to Ohio (another significant moment in my life). Living in Ohio are so much different from New York. Even my "label" changed, from "the chinese girl" to "the Chinese girl that's from New York". The people in Ohio were curious about me because they barely see Asian people in there and never see a Asian person that's from New York. Honestly i never like Ohio! I always feel New York is the best place for me to live in and so does my brother. So we kept convince our parents about moving back to New York. After three years, we finally succeeded to convince our parents. So we back in New York. Right now, i have been living in New York. I felt it is different from the New York i used to Know. Maybe is because now the people i knew are more mature than before, so the laughting stop. And all the other negative things are less than before. This make me love the New York even more!
