Past, present and future

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.

The Chronicles of Hope

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! The people I speak to call me Hope, as that is what I’ve been trying to bring to people for the past few years. I achieved this title as I spent most of my teenage years venturing out into the open space of the internet which led me into some unsavory parts of it. After seeing many things on there, I joined up with a collective of other people who had a similar goal as myself, which was to help the people of the interwebs be free of their dire situations. I was then given that name after one of the people we communicated with on there said to me that I was her last hope. After that many of my names have some sort of variation of the word Hope in it.

My profile picture I feel is a representation of that as it is the alchemical transmutation circle for a human transmutation. One of the rules of alchemy is the Law of Equivalent Exchange. This law states that something cannot come from nothing and that everything must come from something. To put it simpler, if you want something you must be prepared to give something of equal value be it time, effort, money or… other things. The other part of it is that we have been trying for many hundreds of years to make artificial humans, we have everything needed to down to every molecule, however we still are unable to reproduce the “spark” needed to jump start life. This is related because it shows that the life we have now is something special and should not be taken for granted and that we should try our best to protect and save the lives of those who cannot. On the other hand, if you compare human life to the grand scale of the universe, we are nothing in the grand scheme of things. So take that with a grain of salt.

Some of my interests are playing video games, mainly RPGs (role playing games) as it takes you away from some of the abhorrent things I’ve seen that humans are capable of doing to each other. In the “real” world I’m a person who visits many sites and tries to track down the locations and activities of people who commit heinous acts and in doing so I have to witness these acts. In the game, however, I could be anyone I choose. I could be a valiant knight whose goal is to save the kingdom from some necromancer, or I could be a powerful mage who is trying to spread the word of God with my horde of undead. Even still I could be a cunning rouge who only seeks to gain fame and glory through sabotage and subterfuge. The problems are very one dimensional and have no repercussions. They have a precise way of solving them and they can and will be solved very easily once you know how. The good always wins. In real life however, that is rarely true.

I also would love to work on keeping my fellow peers safe in their online interactions as most people now a days have no idea how much information is easily obtained from their daily posts to their social media. This allows anyone to easily access their private information including but not limited to their live location.

I hope to achieve a higher education with this schooling in order to do what I do professionally and without having to do in in the shadows as how it’s being done now, it can be misconstrued as since “you viewed the materials as well so you’re equally as guilty.”
