Let's know about Chawa I had talked with Chawa once when we waited between class and class. He was an interested and talkative person, but I had not known him that much until the in-class interview. The interview was fun. It gave me the time to understand my classmate. I could ask him some questions that I didn't have chance to ask. After looked around his processing web, I felt that my questions should focus on his family, interests and personalities.
Chawa's name and his family First, I let Chawa briefly introduced himself first. Although we had talk before, I did not know where he from. Chawa, his original name is Zhang, Xue-ren (張學仁). He was born in a small village in Zhejiang, China, but their family moved to Shanghai, China when he was two years old and then he came to the USA and studied Oakwood Friends High School in New York. The reason why he calls himself Chawa because his favorite animation, Yu Gi Oh, which is about the characters use card game to battle. In the animation, his favorite card is called the Fabled Chawa. When Chawa play the card game, the Fabled Chawa is essential for the deck which he prefer to use. Moreover, the card of picture is cute. So, he loves his friend to call him Chawa. Chawa has a crush on game He said he start with love game and decided to become a game designer very early. So, we begun to talk about his crush, game. The first game he fell in love was the game call Warcraft 3. In the meantime, he was in middle school. Chawa told that he was not a good gamer, but he loved the scene which was amazing, and the characters were meticulous. Chawa was inspired by the game, so he learned to write code and tried to design his own game when he was in high school However, the first time he officially started his coding life was when he studied in Information Science and Technology at Penn State University. He learned the knowledge about development of software and did some project of design of application. After graduated from the University, he still wanted to pursue his dream. He has never changed his mind to become a game designer; therefore, he came to IDM (Integrated Digital Media) at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Chawa said that IDM is the program combine what he has learned and what he loves. He decided that he will select the courses about the game in the future. Chawa' s personalities (Strength & Weakness) I felt that Chawa is positive and determined. I curious how he feels about himself. Chawa gave me a cute answer. He said, “I like to do what people do not want to do”. He willing to do a role which people think that cannot grab everyone’s attention. For example, he always been a buffoon or backstage crew in the high school skit because in his eye, serving other is the purpose of our life. Also, when he plays a game which have to work in a team, he often be the one who assist the others. He said, “If other people do not want to be, why I can’t be”. I really appreciate his big heart which I should look up to him. However, Chawa told that he has a weakness which he hopes he can make it better. He is impatient. He does not like to wait and waste the time. But I think it is not an actual weakness. I felt that impatient might make him more effective. Conclusion (Chawa in my eye) Throughout, the interview, Chawa is not only talkative, but a person who is kind, loved and persistent. He told me that he wants to have his own game design studio. I believe that he will make it because he always be on the right track and stick at his work. Last but not least, I asked him to recommend a game for game beginners like me. He told me that I can try a game call overcooked! I feel that it would be fun if I can join his team and play the game together someday!

After watched all classmates' personal inventory video, Everyone has the unique lifestyle which come from culture, family or attitude. That's interesting in seeing everyone's differences! I left comments under the Meng, Diego and Arushi's video. In their videos, I saw something in common, or I related to. Also, I saw something I could have like they had. Hi, Moe I love that you always bring your stainless water bottle every day. That’s not good for you and good for our environment. If everyone brings their own water bottle like you, I cannot imagine that how much waste can be reduced. I related to that color can reflect a person’ s personalities. Red is a significant color in Chinese culture. It always means blessing and happiness. The light means warmth and power. I believe that the lamp is your lucky charm and give you energy. People always say that smell can recall a memory. Smells, in fact, evokes the emotion we felt at the time that caused the memory to be formed in the first place. I feel that your perfume, the smell, can always make you release from tense emotion because it contains your happy memory. Hi, Diego Your personal inventory video reflects your lifestyle. It is simple and easy but elegant. The three things are used to improve and record your life. I appreciate it. By the way, I am looking for a pen which is like the Mitsubishi pen. After watching your video, I really want to buy one. So, Thanks for your recommendation Hi, Arushi
These three things always in my bag, too! They are so important for people nowadays. Earphones or headphones always a savior when you in an embarrassing situation. However, if you put them on, the air could be change to what you listen to. The charger is necessary. None wants their phone dies. Sometimes you can be other people’s hero when you lend them a charger. I feel that you might close to your father, who influences you a lot. You have that habit which he passed on you. I think that you really respect him:) |
