My name is Jonathan Wan but I am also known as J. Wan, Jonny, Juanito, or just Jon. I am currently a junior at UMBC and a biochemistry major (Not sure if I made the right choice). I am originally from Baltimore but I recently moved to Howard County, Maryland. I am 100% Chinese but since I live in a Korean populated area and since most of my friends are Korean, I have adapted into their lifestyle. I love eating Korean food but I still love Chinese food the most. Family is extremely important to me. It’s my family that keeps me motivated in life so I love them to death! I believe people should live their lives to the fullest because we only got one life to live! I try to be as optimistic as I can everyday. Even if I’m having a bad day, I brush everything off my shoulders and say to myself “Tomorrow is a new day!”

I think we've met before. I know I sound creepy, but I swear I'm not! If you're the right dude, Sara Kim introduced us at Hollister, yea? Well anyway, family is really important to me too. I have a huge family and we're the closest bunch in the world. It's like what my daddy always tells me, "Friends may come and go, but family will always be there." =]
ReplyDeleteThats cool that you have such a positive attitude towards life. I also believe in living life to the fullest for the same reason. Life is to short to let everything around you stress you out, because you never know when it will be over.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brian, it's great you have such a positive out look on life. My saying is "hakuna matata" from the lion king meaning "no worries." I actually am getting it tattoo on my foot. I also am very close to my family, no matter what they are very important in my life.
ReplyDeleteI can really relate with you on the adaptation subject. Although I'm Latino, I grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood and was able to realize and accept the differences in our ways of life.
ReplyDeleteI can understand what you mean by hanging out with a nationality other than your own. I am Vietnamese living in Columbia, Md and around here their aren't that many of us. I find myself hanging out with other people from different ethnicities and race. This has given me the ability to be more accepting of people no matter the color of the their skin or background.
