Blog Entry 1: Introduction

HI!!! I'm Xiwen Wang. Everyone always asks me how that could possibly be pronounced as "Win-Win." Well, it doesn't. Xiwen is pronounced "She-wen," but eversince kindergarden, people have made numerous daring attempts from "Z-wen" to "X women." So, after third gradde, I kind of got tired of correcting people over and over again, so I translated my chinese nickname into my current name of Wen-Wen. I was born in Chengdu, which is a city in central China. I came to America two weeks before my fifth birthday settling in Virginia. I lived in Blacksburg, Virginia, which is close to Virginia Tech (yes the shooting school) for four years. However, crime rates are usually much lower than it is here in L.A. I stayed with my Aunt for half a year in Kansas and then our whole family decided to move to California. I started off living in Diamond Bar but later moved to Walnut for fourth grade in Collegewood Elementary School. Eversince then, my education has been in Walnut. Some things that I love to do are singing, dancing, sleeping (even though I feel deprived), and playing sports. I love sports! In high school, I was on the volleyball and swimming team in freshman year and there after, I did tennis and track and field for the remaining of my career in Walnut High School. I love to socialize and to get to know people so chat with me anytime!
