I only treated myself as a writer, when I got through the writing assignments in college. I seldom express my feeling or opinions outside academy by writing. I do not get used to write journal or blog because I'd rather use camera to record my feeling. As a writer, I always want to be critically or persuasively. However, it does not always work out in that way. I would say I am still a newbie writer. "How to write?" is always a question for me. In order to upgrade my writing to another level, I know that I still need a lot of practices and readings. There is still a long way to go...

The environment affects me a lot as a thinker. From kindergarten to university, the environment couldn't stop changing. The people around me also changed. Those changes provided me different resources and ideas. Especially, my parents, my friends and teachers are important for me. Their experiences gave shape to my thought. They all have their own ideas about a specific event. That helps me a lot because I can comprehend an event in different ways. However, I do not absorb everything from what they say. Every time I heard one's opinion, I would try to think whether this is right or wrong for me. What people think are always true since they have their own logic and reason, but I can decide what I should believe. In a debate, there are two sides of an argument. Since each side has its own statement and evidences, it is really difficult to say which side is true. I believe one thing people can do is to decide which side is more reasonable for them.
