| Arthur Wei Health Period 2 Homework 1 2/4/07 WHO AM I? I am Arthur Wei. Born in LA, on June 1st 1991. My parents are both from Beijing, China, and I am their only child. I live with my parents in Woodhaven, Queens, about a 1 hour commute from to Stuyvesant. Two hobbies I enjoy is playing sports mainly soccer and basketball, and going on the computer. I don’t play any games on the computer right now, because my goal is to refrain from computer games for 3 months. I don’t play much video games either. I just go on the computer and chat with friends, and wasting my life away. If I were to say 3 adjectives that best describe me, I think it would be creative, messy, and happy. I said creative because my brain is always thinking of things outside the usual box, like I wrapped all my Christmas presents with big bundles of toilet paper and tape, however that also shows what a messy person I am. My room is extremely messy, my end of semester book bag contains garbage from September. My room is like a foot deep pool of clothing, bags, and paper in certain places. I have to say, one unusual thing about me is that I am almost never really depressed or sad. I always look at things optimistically, and although sad things happen, I get over it really fast. I’m pretty much, always happy. It’s really hard to think of what are my favorite things. My favorite food, is I don’t know. I just ate Chicken Teriyaki at Queens Center Mall for the 10th time or so. I have to say it is one of my favorites. I’ve been eating that every time I go there. My favorite color is blue. My favorite class is gym. Favorite music, is a tough question. I listen to all kinds of music that is fast and has a good beat which gives me an adrenaline rush. Techno, rock, rap, hip hop, R & B, I listen to all. My favorite movies are split into two categories, comedy and action. My favorite comedy genre movies are Scary Movie 3 and 4, I don’t like the first two as much. My favorite action movies are Saving Private Ryan, and Gladiator. The thing that I excel the most at is definitely chess. I quit playing actively for 3 years, but I have won 3 National Chess Championships, and was on the US team for two years, I’m still around 30th highest rated played at my age, despite quitting for 3 years. The thing I struggle the most against is fighting against procrastination. I can’t focus if I know I will still have an hour or two of free time after I finish my homework. Every time I finish my homework, it’s about time for me to sleep. Sleep is what I do for relaxation. I slept 13 hours today and yesterday, and I am still sleepy throughout the day. All my life I was a very hyper child all the way up to high school. I didn’t need much sleep to be constantly hyper throughout the day. I noticed that people around me were always tired while I am not. I knew that one day it will backfire on me, and I will always be tired and sleepy. I guess it happened once I got into high school. My biggest fear is probably school. Tests, homework, and all that work just scares me. The first thing that comes to my mind at what frustrates me is a girl, who is also a good friend, and will not be named. However the most frustrating thing is probably not knowing something, like a secret your friends are keeping from you, or not knowing how to do a math problem. In this health class I am hoping to learn more about life. Such as how to care of myself better when I become completely independent, diseases, and staying in good health. |
