Fourth Quarter Blog

A)In this year during April, I worked on my first job which was in my aunt’s office. I wanted to work there because my aunt’s job is working out accounts which are related to my major in college, business of administration. My aunt gave me some easy works to start with such as helping her calculate and counting the receipts. When I saw my aunt and her workers, I felt that this work is really difficult and needs a lot of hard work. Therefore, I hope I can be like my aunt that’s good at earning money and maintaining good interpersonal relations.

B)From my experience, I suggest students to choose and apply for colleges as soon as possible. It would be a great time to choose your college and research it during the summer when you’re going to twelfth grade. After you choose some colleges and make it into a list, find the dates that the application starts and when are the deadlines. It would be nice to begin filling the application when it opens and try to do everything as soon as possible so you don’t need to rush through it before you graduate. Also, if you have any problems about applications or colleges, you can ask school councilors or teachers for help. Last but not least, check your email at least three times a week to make sure if the colleges send some important messages or announcements to you so you can work on further instructions.

C)My plans for the summer are to borrow and study some business books from the library to prepare me for college.  Also, I’m planning to go to Japan in the middle of June with my cousins to visit my uncle in Tokyo. Furthermore, I will be heading to Irvine, California in the beginning of September with my parents to visit my college and then travel to San Diego to visit my aunt and cousins.  I will stay in San Diego for a week and then go back to Irvine to attend the freshman orientation in the middle of September. My parents will be traveling back to Taiwan the day before my school starts and it will be the time that I’m starting to do everything all in my own and learn how to be more independent.
