My name is Guan Chen. I was born in China on July 6th 1995 and I immigrated to the United States of America on July 4th 2000. I attended P.S. 200, I.S. 281, and I graduated Brooklyn Technical High School in June 2013. Even since I immigrated to America, I’ve always lived in Brooklyn, more specifically, Bensonhurst. Growing up, I’ve always loved electronics. When I got my first computer, I was always on it. I rarely ever went outside. I was on the computer after school  every day  until I went to sleep and this was basically my everyday routine. Computer and games have been a huge part of my life since I was a kid. Now that I’m in college, I hope to get a business degree and get a job in a corporate company after I graduate.

The avatar I chose to use is that of a boy in a shark hoodie. The boy in my avatar is smiling and holding a cupcake. This avatar in many ways represents me. A hoodie, is my favorite piece of clothing. One of my greatest passions has always been poker. On a poker table, the players that are better than the other players and consistently takes other players money is known as a shark. I hope to one day be a shark at a poker table, winning and taking the money of those weaker players known as a fish. Another interpretation of the shark boy in my avatar is sharks in the business world. A shark in the business world means someone who is tackling every opportunity to make money and always ruthlessly destroying their competition to make the most money possible. I hope to one day become a shark in the business world with a career in finance along with being a shark on the poker table. The smile on my avatar shows that I’m generally a happy person. My main goal in life is just to be happy and if I am happy, then I know I am on the right path in life.

My avatar is a pretty cute one. The drawing looks like something out of a cartoon. This may confuse a person looking at my avatar to think that this may have come from a cartoon. I didn’t choose this avatar because of a cartoon. The avatar is wearing a shark hoodie which can lead someone to believe I like marine life. I’m personally not very fond of aquatic animals. One can interpret from this avatar that I’m a very shy person because my avatar is blushing. I’m actually not that shy and I normally wouldn’t blush.

My profile will display me as a person. If I become anything like my avatar I will be happy whether i’d be a shark in the business world or a shark on the poker table taking people’s money. My profile will also show the projects and courses I’m enrolled in. It’ll also display the people I’ve befriended. This is important because it’ll be like a record sheet for me. It’ll show what I’ve done from the beginning to the end and display my accomplishments when I complete a course or a project for myself and others to see.

    I am a Liberal Arts student attending City Tech as a freshman. Recently graduated out of KAPPA International, an International Baccalaureate academy that prepared me for college using rigorous courses to achieve that aim. My primary goal is to become a lawyer which makes my short term goal to transfer into a school that would help me in achieve that goal. Other courses that really interest me are courses related to history or art. I’ve been a competitive swimmer for three years now and it is something i would love to continue doing. I am an avid learner and a realist which i have acquired from various members of my family. I play three instruments consisting of the clarinet, viola, and drums. In addition, i am a strong individual and i can show that verbally but also physically in the way i stand. I will also state that i am camera shy but nonetheless i enjoy going out and having fun in the city.

   The image in my avatar is an image of me covering my face out in the street. This is a recent photo taken of me about a few months back. This image is an example of two important details i mentioned in my bio. The details are that i am a strong individual and camera shy. The picture depicts that message in my perspective since i am holding a hand in front of my face but my stance is firm and powerful. Yet the hand is there so that my face won’t be visible to whoever is viewing the picture. This shows that i am not comfortable with the camera yet can still show that i can be a strong individual. The background also displays how i enjoy the city and love being outside since the setting takes place in the middle of New York City in the nighttime.

   Nonetheless this picture can depict a different message to a different individual. Reasons being that they look at things differently then i would look at things. To this individual, the picture can seem like i wasn’t directly trying to cover my face. They may believe that i am not a strong individual, maybe just joking around with a couple of friends. This picture can represent me just standing in a pose or talking to someone else since my left eye is focused on something else other then the camera. I know that i am shy yet can let go of a powerful stance which is what my profile picture depicts..

   This profile will convey the message that i am a freshman with intent to be successful in the near future as well as later on in the future. It will allow me to improve my professional skills and be more educated in the work field. Hopefully this profile can be useful to me in achieving my professional and academic goal which ends in success.This is important due to the reason that i want people to know exactly who i am. I want them to know the things that make me who i am, in other words the things that make me unique. It will also show how serious and dedicated i am to being a successful student and to achieving every single goal i set for myself. Although my avatar displays shyness, that is one thing that won’t get in the way of my success yet it is still a huge part of the individual i am.

I am formally addressed as Brandon Jaspaul. I am a graduate of Thomas A. Edison with specific training in Automotive Mechanics, provided by my career-technical based high school. With my training I have applied my knowledge to previous automotive shops, showing application of what training I got the privilege of encountering. Entering New York City College of Technology I hopes to acquire my Bachelors in Business and Finance . With a bright eye to look ahead of myself and my aspirations, I frequently regard my current actions as a reflection of my future intents. Upon completion of this degree I have desire to someday work as an investment banker, fulfilling my dreams and pleasure in working with the abstract science of numbers and engagement in commerce, otherwise addressed as my future occupation as an Investment Banker.My life’s philosophy is to always look ahead in the future and become wealthy physically,mentally, and spiritually.

A psychic ball is natural or scientific knowledge of spiritual force pertaining to the human soul or mind. From my perspective a psychic ball is when you look ahead at something such as your future actions. Since I was just a child I always looked ahead, into what my future could and should be. Where will I be when I graduate college? Will I have a good job, or no? What will my financial stability look like, or rely on ? What will be my career choice,my lifestyle,my mentality throughout this lifetime ? These questions mingle my mind endlessly for days after days, yet they still remain unknown. I find gratification in seeking this unknown. A psychic ball is a symbol of who I am, it displays vision and feeling, senses which I often resort to when I dictate or attempt to foresee my future. A psychic ball is used to notify people of something they want to know,something that they already don’t know. They are able to confront it when something is wrong in their lives. I perceive this item as something to guide me through my future, though I don’t necessarily use it , it proves symbolic in my way of thinking. Which of course is to consider my future always, not to confront myself when I’m deeply conflicted in life. It isn’t that we should depend our lives on the faith of someone else’s perceptions, but perhaps every once in a while we should take a look ourselves, and remember that our fate lies in none other then our own hands.

Where the significance of the psychic ball is apparent for me, others may take the avatar into a different account. An easy assumption to make is that I’m into superstitions or maybe the spiritual world. They might conclude that, I live a lifestyle based on faith, a fortune junkie. That perhaps I have excessive belief in reverence for supernatural beings. Superstition is often characterized by the belief that if one event happened it will lead to another without any natural process linking the two events together. This can lead to the thoughts of me being heavily influenced or likely to pursue a career in astronomy or mythology. They can expect that I am into the dark side of the world like spirits, ghosts, the influence of ideology. Where I look on the other side of the spectrum, using the psychic ball to foresee my future in positive, self-assured strives, others may be under the impression that I am a believer of the supernatural, taking my avatar into a literal meaning,rather then philosophical.

Conveyed in my profile is my sense of pride and determination. The avatar represents keys to my personality that you otherwise may have not known about me. Rather then taking the avatar into a literal meaning, I infuse my philosophical perception. The right perception will give off the right impression, which is vital in making a superior reputation for myself. This reputation will, and can affect and influence any social and professional associations I may have.
