Hi~ My name is Jessie. 

I'm an indigenous student from Pingtung and Nantou. Many people will think I’m a foreigner. In fact, I'm a native Taiwanese. My indigenous name is Sani Madiglaan Suqluman. My personality is actually quite changeable. Sometimes I can be very outgoing and talkative but most of the time I prefer spending time by myself. When I’m alone, my favorite things to do are listening to music and reading. I enjoy reading everything from novels to psychology theories.

Now, let me talk about my reading journey. I started enjoying Chinese essays and poetry collections in middle school. In high school, because my homeroom teacher was a Chinese literature teacher, I began reading a lot of classical Chinese poetry. It wasn't until I entered university that I seriously started reading English books. I remember the first English book I read seriously was a fiction I borrowed from Professor Wannie, called Dig. After that, I fell into the world of reading English books. Since that novel touched on psychological topics, I began borrowing books related to psychology. I enjoy reading everything from broad introductions to the history of psychology to books about specific psychological disorders. I’ve never really liked reading romance novels. Instead, I prefer mystery, suspense, and fantasy genres, as they give my mind more room for imagination. Besides psychology, I also read philosophy books to help me see the world from different perspectives.

In this class, I hope to maintain my habit of extensive reading and expand my vocabulary, so that I can become more proficient in both reading and writing.
