Hello everyone, my name is YuQing but everyone call me Tiffany. Speak of my name, I would like to explain the meaning behind the name YuQing. The word Yu defines as rain in Chinese and Qing stands for Sunny or clear sky. When you put it together it means “the sky clears up after the rain” or “new hopes after a disastrous period.” My parent gave me the name for me to shine bright even if life is giving me a hard time and for me to believe that everything will be fine after all the hardships. This name help developed a unique personality for me. I will say that my personality is pretty bright and cheerful. Even though at times there are “rainy” days in my life, I always find some way to lighten myself up. I took this picture last year and I realized it represents my name in some sort of way.

I have passion in many things; photography, fashion and latte arts. I bought my very first camera, Cannon T5i, two years ago. I think the pictures we captured can tell lots of stories depending on the person’s point of view. I am surrounded by many friends that are into photography which motivates me to experiences it by going on adventures with them and my camera. A single picture can leave memories and express the author’s mood and idea just like fashion. My passion for fashion developed when I was young. The thoughts of becoming a fashion designer was growing day by day, however I turn it down because of some personal reasons. Although I wasn’t able to achieve my goal, my passion for fashion is still continuing, it’s the main reason why I choose to major in fashion marketing. If I can’t become a fashion designer, I still want to be enrolled in the fashion industry. Fashion is a really broad art form. Fashion does not only include clothing but also includes art in everyday life, for example, latte art. I started to work in a coffee shop around March and began to learn latte art. It amazes me that such a simple design can be so fashionable which lead many fashion blogger to post images of it with their outfit, showing the aesthetic sides of both subjects. I see myself working in a fashion company and open my own cafe further on in my life.

My profile represent me and my name a lot. New York City is a city that never sleeps. The buildings’ shining bright light lit up the darkness that everyone hates. NYC is a very busy and loud city which perfectly reflects me. I get loud whenever I am with my friends. Other people won’t like it but I know my friend enjoys my appearances because I bring smiles to their faces. I would like to act as the light in other people’s life because I am a cheerful person. I can be like the moon hanging on the sky leading people to their path or the driver in the car driving you to your destination.

Going back to the meaning of my name, I am the one who is never phased by the “rainy” days and the darkness. I always try to create happiness in a bad moment. I felt like I played the role of a therapist whenever my friend need me. When she’s down, I brought her out to places where people can enjoy themselves and be themselves. That place of one was the bridge between two cities. It helped her relieve all her stress and it gave her the motivation to move on and it gave me confidence to be who I am today. I believe that life is not always sunshines and rainbows, there are always bad days ahead of you. Although you cannot stop these moments from happening, you can always change your point of view and approach your problems differently.

Overall, I have a positive personality once you get to know me or talk to me. It matters to me that you get to know my true side because to some people I am a introvert however, I am the complete opposite once you enter my world. I hope after my introduction, some of you can approach me in class. We can help each other for the semester or throughout the year. Since everyone is a freshman and we barely know anyone in college, we can come together and make our very first friends. As I go through my years in city tech, I hope to give a hand for those students who needs it. I wish to be more social not only in college but also for my life and my career in the future.
