My interest in media and communication started from my fifth grade, when I was elected to be a member of children and teenager reporters of Chengdu Evening News, a newspaper focusing
beginning, being in a completely different culture was challenging for me, because I knew nothing about Chengdu. Even though the languages used were both called “Chinese”, the dictions and accent are totally different. My further experience in Chengdu has proved I can be a competent “international” student.

At 7:45 in the morning in a downtown Seattle Starbucks, customers want their coffee to go, and now.
