My hobbies I love reading novels during my leisure time. I used to crouch in the couch, reading novels with a cup of milk tea in the afternoon and enjoying the warm sunshine shedding in the room. Besides, I am so in love with dancing. I feel positive and energetic when I dance. I learn to express my emotion through dancing, challenge my limits from practices and practices. Though exhausted, the happiness and accomplishment dancing brings me is indescribable. Traveling is another way I get refilled. Since I was a child, my father takes us to travel every summer and winter vacation. Because we are a comfortably-off family, going abroad is an extravagant thing for us. But, we deeply experience the endless natural beauty of Formosa, our beloved country, Taiwan. Tai-Tung is the most frequent place we go; the spontaneous lifestyle is totally different from the western cities. The mountain, the sea, the enthusiastic people and the hot spring, everything here is so relaxing and beautiful.

My autobiography My name is Lena. I come from Kaohsiung, Taiwan. My family consists of five members, my father, mother and two sisters. I am the second child. “Two’s company but three’s a crowd”, our family frequently takes it as jokes. There is no hotel serves a room just for three people when we go travel, so my parent often say that my little sister is excrescent. But in their heart, all of us are their dear babies. I grew up in a small town of Kaohsiung. Though this small town doesn't have as much resource as big cities, the free and simple lifestyle here makes me develop a lively and passionate personality. People often say that every time they see me, there is a big smile on my face. I believe laughter is one of the most infectious expressions of emotion. I wish people’s emotion will be lifted up because of my smile. Like every ordinary, I have some little defects. Lack of rebellion, which may be a strength or a weakness. I am afraid of trying to break the rules since my conservative personality, and that limits my imagination and creativity. Throughout my school years, my academic performance is pretty great. But I am not a bookworm; I always think that there are much more important things in the word other than in books. Unlike traditional Taiwanese parents, my mom and dad never strictly demand excellent school performance on me. This pressure-free education makes me learn how to effectively use my time and realized I have to be responsible to myself. However, life is not always so smooth. At the first two years of my college life, I found myself couldn't handle the heavy schoolwork. This is the first time I felt awful about my incompetence. I tried to adjust my thought, tell myself that I don’t have to be the outstanding one at least I leave no stone unturned. Through by this experience, perseverance and strong-mind I got will accompany me to conquer the fear of the unknown future and to challenge the utmost of myself.
