Above are the stuffs in my backpack when I go to school. Other than books and stationary, I also bring Ginger Candies, which keeps me awake in the morning classes, Hello Kitty water bottle, and Winnie the Pooh mini tablewear, "No, they are not for kids", I need to have something cute to eat with when I eat alone at school, especially on Saturdays.
My long holiday is finally over and I am already back to school. This quarter I take 2 classes, InDesign and Photoshop CS4. Debiruth is the instructor of both of the classes. “I love going to school,” she introduced herself during the first class,” as you can see from my background.” Apparently she does love going to school. If you search her name on the Internet, you will see that she has a very board range of professional backgrounds, such as Technical Education, Sociology, Applied Behavioral, Law, Software Development, and Psychotherapy.
I am impressed by her introduction and her passion for acquiring knowledge. I have always enjoyed going to school but I had doubts that that is the way life should be, because the culture in my home country is very different. In Macau, people see education as an investment. I remember how the parents of my friend convinced her not to go to a university by weighting the prospective income she could make after graduation to the income she could be making right out of high school. In Macau, the average income of high school students is almost the same or even higher than that of undergraduate students. Therefore, many people think that spending money on going to school is not worth it.
Despite the fact that the tuition in Washington State is eight times more expensive than that of Macau, going to school is quite popular in Seattle. In my Graphic Design class, many of my classmates are learning fine arts and different computer programs just for personal enrichment. For instance, my classmate, who sits next to me, retired 2 years ago after working as a Creative Director for over 20 years. She told me that she was taking the design classes because she wanted to know more about how graphic designers work nowadays.
Even though going to school is very tiring and my schedule is especially challenging after starting my internship this quarter, I still love going to school. I really do. In fact, I think that I should design a logo for “I love going to school”.
