Wk4 – Classmate Conversation – Stephanie Chang

This week I had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie Chang. Stephanie and I met because we had something in common and that was the shirt I was wearing. I was wearing and Intervarsity shirt (as shown in the picture above) which she happens to be in. Intervarsity is a big Christian fellowship club on campus which I had attended once last year. She asked me about where I had gotten the shirt because she has never seen me there. We then introduced ourselves and started learning more about each other. Stephanie is in her second year here at CSULB and she is studying Business. She was born in Taiwan but moved here when she was just 9 months old. She lived most of her life in NorCal before recently moving here. Although she grew up in America she still speaks fluent Chinese. She is taking this this class because she likes art and her favorite thing to do is photography. She has some great photography skills and you can see that on her website. Photography isn’t the only thing she enjoys as she loves the outdoors like kayaking and snorkeling. She’s even been snorkeling in Hawaii! A fun fact about Stephanie is that she only peels her tangerines in a spiral which I have never seen. When I asked Stephanie if Art mattered to her, she said yes. She said she grew up with art. It’s a way to express yourself in abstract ways and show your creativity. It was great meeting Stephanie and I hope you all enjoyed reading about her.
