Katherine- Self intro



Hello everyone, This is Katherine, and I'm going to share with you some things about me.

My relationship with books
When it comes to reading, the first thing that comes to my mind is my childhood. Since I was a little girl, my parents didn't take me to cram school, nor did they send me to talent class. Instead, they showed me the power of books. How compelling stories can nurture our minds and soul. From adventure story romantic novel. However, when I reach middle school, with the burden of school work, my passion for books gradually faded, which is quite bumming every time I think of this. 

I had tried several times to regain my enthusiasm for books. When summer vacation hits, I pick out the book that had been untouched for months. But my effort of trying is always in vain. I end up giving up for the vocabulary is too difficult for me to read fluently. 

Nevertheless, in today's class, the moment I hear the professor say that we need to choose books on our own level, I felt as if my passion for books could rekindle. You might think "Don't everyone knows this?" To me, it's not. When I pick a book, I tend to find. one that contains a lot of "5 dollar words," which means high-level words. In that case, I could regain the utmost result by reading one single book. Little did I know, my old way of picking books will cause me not to want to read anymore...

Hobbies
I am definitely an outdoor girl rather than an indoor girl. Whenever I stay in the house for too long, I would feel as if I'm getting moldy. Just like the photo you see above, I enjoy bathing in the sun and enjoying a good mountain trail. To me, the fun part of going down a mountain trail is the par you overcome the sense of wanting to give up and powering through the tough time. In addition, I also love to do weightlifting in my spare time. Weightlifting has also helped me to grow into a more resilient person, enabling me to be fearless when facing hardship. What's even better, weightlifting has made me more confident about my body image and my strength. Both mountain trekking and weightlifting have shaped me into a better person.

To sum up, I really look forward to this class. I am really to pick up my passion for books and rediscover the wonders reading can bring to me.

  1. The photo of you has told very much about you, healthy, outdoor, outgoing perhaps! Why not record your experiences/life using photos and some descriptions? Like what you'd do on FB or IG, but you may find a better way to make your writing more fit to your images? Hope our writing assignments will help you in that regard.
