After the lesson we have learned about the College knowledge, I am now very clear mind that the College progress in the States. However, we have to finish the CLIP program before we enter to the College. There is a good chance to improve your English skills which is including writing, reading, listening. When I am going to the College, I will take the major in Accounting. I am not sure it is suitable for me but I would try to find the career in the range of the Banking or Accounting fields in the future.

QCC CLUBS
I went to visit the Club Fair held on January 30, 2013, it was amazing! This was my first time to join this kind of fair although I visited the job fair few years ago.
There was many different type of club in the fair, such as Math Club, Mock Trial Club, Music Club and so on. Besides, there has many different clubs to represent to their own countries and let peoples know more about their culture, such as Asian Society, Africa Society.
Eventually, I have chosen two clubs which I was interested. Career Services which is the club for helping us to learn how to make a resume. The club will also share their experiences or teach us how to make a proper skill during an interview. Moreover, the club will also help us to looking for a job when you needed. Therefore, I think this club is better for us.
The second one I was interested it is Badminton Club which is the better way I can keep my exercise doing and keep my life balancing apart from study or work life. Furthermore, this club can also make you to built up your social network. It helps you know more different major students in QCC.

Health Services/Department of Nursing
This morning, April 8th, I attended the lecture in Room M136. Today's topics was about QCC Health Services and Department of Nursing. At the beginning of the lecture, the speaker, Simon Ulubabov whose graduated nurse in last May, talked about the Health Services and he listed some of etiology that it will caused of Diabetes. For example, it might be from family history, obesity or being overweight, age and environment. In addition, Ulubabov mentioned the symptoms and interventions in two types of Diabetes. There were different symptoms and interventions caused you have one type of Diabetes. Most symptoms between Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2 are quite similar except Irritability, Poorly healing wounds, Blurred vision will only happen in Diabetes Type 2. Furthermore, the interventions of Diabetes Type 1 are Insulin therapy, Dietary modification and Exercise regimentation. However, the interventions of Diabetes Type 2 are exercise regimentation, dietary modifications and oral antidiabetic. The second part of lectures was about Department of Nursing and it was presented by Prof. Alexandra Tarasko. She introduced that the requirements if you are interested in nursing field. First of all, they have day and evening schedules and their admission in Fall and Spring. You can also transfer to 4- years college once graduated and get your joint degree. Second, you must take a test of general skills and interview before you go to pre-nursing sequence courses which included English 101, Psychology, Math and A&P classes. At last, she mentioned that their minimum GPA is required on average of 3.0 or above (that is Grade B).

In sum, I learned from this lecture that Health Services is not only require the new student to provide their medical records, they also provide some medical knowledge for us.

When I went into the Student Union Building, I saw that many people in there especially many guests who came from Rego Park Senior Center to join the ceremony. Before the performances started, the program ready some Chinese and Korean foods to serve people who come to the ceremony. After that, the program also set the several tables for people to demonstrate the Asian Arts and Crafts. For instance, it was Chinese calligraphy, Paper folding, Chinese painting and so on. In this demonstration, I interested in Chinese painting because the teacher only used in one multicolor pencil to draw his pictures, such as fishes, flowers and plants. Finally the teacher gave me a piece of his painting as a gift. At 1.30pm, the ceremony started and a series of performances were also begun. The first performancer was from East Wind Percussion Music Academy who performed Chinese percussion music. Follow by EMC Martial Arts Corp performed martial arts, some dances and Chinese opera were performed by senior people who came from Rego Park Senior Center. Although this festival was mainly performed Chinese culture, India and Korea representatives were also perform their cultures and let us to more recognize their countries. Overall, I had a lot of fun in this festival and this was a good chance for me to familiar with different cultural in other part of the world.
