Welcome to a little insight on my life, in the form of this blog. I promise there is no sarcasm laced within these words when I say I am very pleased to meet you, because I assume there must be in you the slightest bit of interest in my work that brought you here. That in itself is a type of compliment I am grateful to receive. Cheers to a good time!
For starters, let me introduce myself. I am Christy Lau. I am a student at Stony Brook University, on a path to unearth the vast expanses of knowledge the world has to offer. One day, I wish to gain the confidence to consider myself a scholar, something I suppose one would call a “dream”. “Dreams” though, resemble the constellations in the night sky for me. They remain far too distant and ambiguous to discern any sort of image, requiring me to strain my neck and eyes for transient specks of illumination that don’t serve much purpose aside from looking pretty. As you may tell, I am not much of a dreamer.
Becoming a scholar is not something I spend nights hoping desperately for to come true. It is instead a process, by which will either become a failure or an achievement as I continue to pursue my studies in an educational environment. I believe, and always have believed, that you can only get to where you want to be in life by your own efforts. The amount of work put in, one way or another, equals to the amount of success achieved. Currently, I am highly interested in the medical field, and its ability to meet and escape the people’s needs. Having realized the amount of work and dedication this course of study requires a long time ago, I am prepared to face what may come at me, as part of this path or not.
I won’t spend much time attempting to highlight my achievements and capabilities, because honestly, who really wants to hear about that. So I just want to say that this blog is a means to record my thoughts, display my work, and develop myself. If there’s one thing I want you as a peer to get out of this experience, is a sense of connection, either to my life, my work or my cool taste in font style. But, who knows. Maybe I’ll just turn out to be too weird to bond with anyone.
