Knowing Allen

Hi there! My name is Allen Rong and I’m 19 years old. I been here at city tech for 2 years now and I’m hoping to transfer out after this semester. I feel like there is nothing for me to do here at city tech and I’m hoping there will be more opportunities for me in Brooklyn College, well only if i get accepted that is. I’m in the liberal arts major for now but I’m still undecided on what I really want to do in life and I really do envy you guys that know what you want to do in life. I really love tennis, some say I’m a bit obsessed with the sport really.. I love to watch it and I love korean pop music. Music is everything to me. Whenever I’m feeling down, music would always help me relax and calm myself down. This summer break I went to poconos with a group of friends and it was such a great experience. Living with my friends, no parents to nag at you, but I love them anyways.

I think my strengths as a writer is starting off with a great topic sentence. Getting straight to point and letting readers know what they will be reading in that particular part. For weaknesses as a reader, I tend to get side tracked easily. I sometimes end up reading a whole sentence three times because I didn’t understand the meaning to it. What I love about reading is that it allows my mind to experience new things such as learning about other people’s stories and lives, to relating their stories to those of my life. I hate writing to be honest because I’m not that great at it. I love to read fiction because it’s my way of an escape of the real world. My background on technology is really basic. I’ve heard the word utopia many times in my life and it’s mostly used in the context of a ideal world where people can co-exist peacefully. I don’t know why but I think of an deserted island when I hear the word utopia. To be honest I’m taking this class because i needed one more class to be taking 12 credits this semester, and it fit into my schedule. I hope I don’t sound like a jerk. I hope i learn more about the different elements of literature and for this class more about utopias. Other than that I have no idea what will be expected in this class.
