What I Am Really Like

What I am really like.

People surround me began to ask me what would you like to be in the future when I was still a young boy. What first emerged in my mind were those occupancy with a handsome salary as well as a high prestige. As a result, I picked up several jobs such as diplomat, doctor, manager, scientist.

After years, when I am 21, an adult who can stand on his own feet, is still confused by this question. But the qusestion changed a little bit, it is not what will I be in the future, but what I am really like---a question ask by myself, evoluted from the former one.

In fact, everyone have his own hobbies, and among those hobbies,they can be sorted by two parts---career and interests. Career ones are what a person can live on, and interest ones are the ways in which a person entertain himself. Obviously, the question is what I really like as an career hobby.

I like studying culture, especially culture diversity between different civilizations. I like art, ranging from music to photographing. I like computers and electronic device. I like arguing with people, I like doing critical thinkings. Among those hobbies, I believe I can choose some of them to apply to my career, leaving the rest to be a resource where my inspirations may come from, in this way, I am able to form a pattern---the way I am thinking.

Football,God and OSU

What is American culture? Big question!Social diversity, culture variety, freedom and liberty? These questions are so complex and obscure that I'm not going to answer them, instead, I will present the American culture based on my own life experience, here, in Columbus.

Football

Columbus, named same as the great navigator who discovered America, is a city with 800,000 people. People here love watching football, playing football. On the home game day, people wear red clothes, gathered in the Ohio Stadium, or in the sports bar, watching OSU team to get a touchdown. In fact, I don't really know the rules of football, how to goal or how to defence, but since I saw people cheering in McDonald's(watching football) or the traffic jam(caused by the game) during home game day, I have begun to understand that football is some kind of bond which unites buckeyes together. It's a convention, a spirit, a culture.

God

Captured  in an American church

I go to church every Friday, picked up by my host family father, a Christian, who gives me a lot of help when I first came to America. I have never been to a church before, neither did I know anything about Bible. The first day to church was exciting, we have a fancy dinner which even contains chinese food, a wonderful music performance(singing Christian songs) as well.I have never said that I believe in God, but they don’t force me to do that, the Christian said it’s OK, at least you can know what is Bible about by studying it. More than 80 percent of people in United States are Christian(according to CIA);God tells them to be good to strangers and God is the one who sets up a moral standard in American society.

OSU

OSU is a huge university, bigger than any university in China, maybe the biggest one in the world. OSU has thousands of students from all over the world. Like a traditional state university, OSU has a wide range of majors providing for students who have plenty of interests, so that I can learn whatever I want at OSU.

Limited by the experience I have in America now, I can not tell too much of what American culture is, but I will read more books, go to more classes, attend more after-class activities, visit more cities, and, experience life.
