Hi, everybody, I’m Xue Hui. I’m an exchange student from China , major in accounting. 薛慧 Do you remember these two characters? I know it just seems a picture to you. Hui is my first name. I’d like you guys call me Hui. In America , parents name their kids with meaningful name. So does in China . Hui in Chinese means intelligent and smart. Maybe my parents want me to be a wise person or they just hope that I will be good at studying, because Xue Hui in Chinese sounds like “learn and master”.
I was born and grew up in a small city at north part of Shandong Province . Both of my parents are teachers. There is just one kid in my family but I really want to have an elder brother who can protect me and play with me. All of my friends say that I’m a shy girl especially when facing strangers, but I can be pretty naughty with friends. In my spare time, I like watching movies, shopping, and doing sports such as table tennis, badminton and swimming. I’m going to learn tennis. I think it’s cool. As for movies, comedy is my first choice and tragedy is the last one I will watch because I don’t want to cry.
I like animals, all kind of animals except some insects such as mosquitoes and flies. In China, I have a lot of pets, for instance, little chicken, fishes, tortoise, parrots and scorpion. What scared me was the scorpion. I had three but one of them escaped someday and I was really carefull when walking on the floor at that time. I like my tortoise best which I almost keep for seven years. However, it died at last because of unknown reason. I buried it beside the tree and felt upset for a long time.
It’s my first time to America . I was really worried about the life here before coming. I had no idea how American students study, how professor teach and how people are here. But when I got off the plane and meted some Eagle I Ambassadors, I knew I would have a wonderful life in America . People here are friendly and warm-hearted. They help me a lot and we become good friends. I will stay for about eight months to improve my English, to learn America accounting system and to make lots of friends. I think, after graduating from university in China , maybe I will come back to pursue graduate degree in America .
Well, although Peggy is better than me in cooking, I also can cook Chinese food. If you want to have a try, contact me.
