Being a GRAPHIC DESIGNER seem so far reach to me at first.  I have
never thought that I'll have the chance to expose myself into the design 
industry.....all I have in mind is engineering and computer science, which
neither are my interest.  It's been a long road when it come to deciding
what I want to major in.  I want to do something I'll like for the rest of 
my life, I want to be experimental and be creative, I want to be a 
DESIGNER.  
      I have to explore as many designing style as possible.  I think that this
is part of the learning process and it's inevitable.  That is how a designer
grow with his style.  I can be a perfectionist at times and become  VERY 
demanding towards myself in my perfectionist mode. , which sometimes
drain me physically and emotionally.  Luckily for myself I just pay attention
to important detail rather than draining myself over all details.  That is 
how I work and it always works.
       Being a design student in a foreign country can be both challenging
and at disadvantage.  I get to learn about the western popular design
style and integrated it into my own.  The disadvantage side is that 
language can be a barrier at times when it comes to communicating with
other designers.
