Something About Me


Hi, my beloved teacher and classmates. I am Kathleen from Hong Kong. It's really nice to meet you all :)

I would like to tell you about my family at this very beginning. And of course, I should start with my parents. Sometimes I feel like my dad and mum are the best parents on this planet because they love me with their whole hearts and they have always given me the best. And maybe that's why I miss them badly after I came to Seattle. I don't have any sibling and because of that I sometimes feel very lonely. I have always wanted to have an elder brother. The reason is ridiculous. I think an elder brother can act as both my bodyguard and my best friend.

Besides taking the ESL courses, I also take Sociology this quarter. Although Sociology seems quite interesting to me but I still like Science subjects more. Therefore taking science courses is the main goal that I want to achieve now. And hopefully you would see me entering or leaving the Science building next quarter :D

I can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English and some Korean. And I have always wanted to learn another new language like Spanish.

Most of the time I feel like I'm still a kid because I always do things that a little girl would do. I like sleeping with my dolls. I sometimes even kiss them goodnight. This is crazy, right? And like most of the kids, I like watching cartoon. Most of the disney characters are adorable to me. I like especially Alice, Minnie and Marie. However, my favourite cartoon is Hello Kitty. Have you ever seen me acting insane? If you want to know more about this side of me, just take me to a Hello Kitty store or buy me some Hello Kitty stuff. I swear you would see the craziest me. My host mom know I am obsessed with Hello Kitty and so she got me a pair of Hello Kitty slippers. I was so excited and delighted that i jumped up and down for a long while :D As you can see, I'm a mental person!!


I have quite a lot of interests. I like backpacking. Spending days in somewhere entirely new to you is definitely the best thing to do when you feel bored. Meeting new people, experiencing different curlture... All these sound so exciting, right?

As I have mentioned, I sometimes feel lonely because I’m an only child. Fortunately, I have got many sincere friends who can always fill the empty spaces in my heart. Therefore, like most of the people of my age, I like hanging out with my friends.

I also like watching old movies, especially Audrey Hepburn’s works. She has been my idol since I was twelve. Though her stunning beauty is impressing, this is not the main reason why I like her. I like her because of her kindness and the way she treated other people. She contributed to the charity work a lot. She saw the needs of poor people and she was willing to help them with real actions. Moreover, she is really a great actress. Roman Holiday is my favourite movie. I have watched it for not less than 10 times. Two people fell in love recklessly but fate set them apart eventually. The ending is sad but beautiful. But this is real life. Those fairy tales' happy endings just don't happen here all the time. That's why people say, "I would rather falling off a bridge than falling in love, it hurts less."

Other than watching old movie, I like reading. My favourite writers are Jane Austen and Nicholas Sparks. All the heroines in Jane’s works found their own prince charming and lived happily ever after. Elizabeth found her Mr. Darcy and Emma found her Mr. Knightley. However in real life, Jane was not that lucky. She never got married. She could not even be with the one she loved. Nowadays we can choose to be with anyone but Jane never had a choice. Nicholas Sparks is a good modern time writer. Lots of his works has been turned into movies. The Notebook is one of the good examples. I love both the movie and novel.

I have not thought of getting a certain job in the future. Lots of people think I should study nursing because I look like one.

My favourite website that helps me improve my English is google.com, I guess.

All in all, if you would like to keep in touch with me, feel free to reach me via mails, twitter or even facebook.

  2. Hi Kath, personally I think you're a very smart, sweet and lucky girl. I think you deserve to be loved by people around you. I'm so sorry that you have to be away from your parents. But, believing that home is where the heart is, you will find yourself more comfortable and happy here :)
