CURRENT MISSION

By the end of the year, I am hoping to get into a liberal arts college in the US with full scholarship. Then I will be financailly liberated.

ABOUT ME

I used to be an basketball player in China. Broke my knee in 2005 and never recovered from it. Got stuck in the US as a student since 2008. Currently I am taking a break after three years of schooling and hopefully to come back school next year. I enjoy traveling as much as I enjoy basketball. Learning different cultures, its histories and languages make me feel enlightened.
