Hi there, I’m Bella! A first-year at Santa Clara University, I currently pursue an Economics and Finance duel major, looking to expand my horizons in the business world. This is my mind dump for anything related to the Critical Thinking and Writing class i’m currently taking, and i’m hoping to continue writing here post-Spring quarter.
Get to know me better as I explore race, culture, technology, education, and more over the course of the next couple months. These are all topics of relevance to the universe of thought that we currently exist in.
Race. I’m Asian. Chinese, from Teochew. Born in Australia, I came to America when I was three. Race is a part of me but often times I do not hear my voice echoed in the conversation of ethnicity.
Culture. A strong believer of widening perspectives, culture is the best place to hear the hearts of what others call home. A place for revolving expressions, culture brings out the best, and arguably the most unique parts of a person.
Technology. Here in Silicon Valley, technology is never out of sight, or out of mind. Technology will be forever changing, and I strive to use it in a way that enhances my inner self instead of smothering it. I’m trying out a round of social media cleansing at the moment- thought I needed to get away for a while!
Education. By far a topic that must be handled with care. Education can go both ways. Before, it used to be clear to me that it was for everyone, but as my life grows more complex, I see that we’re not all necessary cut out for a traditional 4-year college degree.
Thanks for coming along for the ride! As a reward for reading my first post, here’s a peaceful castle.
