本期我们继续采访美国康奈尔大学留学生杨思羽，她向我们分享了她在康奈尔的成就，高中模联对她的影响并向我们展示了她有趣的配音技能。
思羽: In terms of my great achievements in Cornell, I&`&ll say that coordinating Asian Night is my great achievement. Since junior year, I became the vice president for Cornell Asian Pacific Islander Student Union. And for student union, our the biggest one of the year is the Asian night. So basically we have all the Asian and the Asian interest to come together for like a culture fair, for like 艺术节 type of scenario but only with Asian clubs. And there was performances there was food there was booths. I think it was attended by.. like the last year&`&s Asian night the one that I directed was attended by a thousand and 3 hundred Cornell students and faculties. It&`&s a lot of work. I did the most operations and the marketing job. it was so much work. And at the Asian night something I really proud of is that I designed a poster, which was really cute. Everybody loved it and we made the poster out into a series of stickers. Even until now, if you walk around Cornell, you see people using that sticker to stick it behind their laptop. I&`&m really proud of that. I&`&m really proud to do something that has contributed to the Cornell general culture, to be a part of the Cornell culture even to have a legacy to leave behind me. I was dreaming going back to Cornell like after three four years and still see that sticker being used and I&`&ll be really really happy.
思羽: So for model UN, I think it wouldn&`&t be an overstatement to say that model UN literally changed my life. Six years ago, wow such way back.. six years ago I&`&m a just regular high school student. I don&`&t want to go anywhere. I just want to do my 高考 and get admitted to a college. Then, opportunity came up and this one girl her name is 赵仪 she was the president of the 太原五中 Model UN back then and she told me that hey there is this thing called 北大模联. Do you want to go? I said yeah totally sounds like a wonderful idea get to know a lot of different people and I get travel and I don&`&t have to go to school. It&`&s perfect! It was overwhelming because it was the first time that I figured there is so much I don&`&t know. All the students from Beijing and Shanghai they know a lot they know everything! I was overwhelmed I was really scared. I got to know a lot of people who are actually planning to go to United States to study and basically drag me to the path. Don&`&t stay in China there is all the horrible things. Chinese colleges will make you waste 4 years of your life and you wouldn&`&t get to a job. You will be addicted to DOTA and LOL and all these horrible computer games just waste your life away. And I said oh my god sounds so scary. That is one of the points and the other point is some of the seniors that I found that I really adored that is really respected they went to the United States and got into really good colleges and I saw their pictures from the United States. WOW, that&`&s sounds so cool. And I talked to my parents they were totally down for the idea so that is how the Model UN totally put me on the path of going abroad.
思羽: Well, first of all, I don&`&t really have a lot of spare time. If you go to the United States as a Chinese student, you normally find yourself to have two radically different groups of friends you hang out with. There is American friends and there is Chinese friends. For me, with my American friends, all I do is party. I dress up. I go out. I drink a lot. I pass out. And I wake up in the morning with a headache and try to study. And with my Chinese friends, there are a lot of different things we do. We also party a lot, we drink a lot. And there is something really fun that we do is we dub a lot of animes. We tried to do dubbing for a Chinese student New Year gala. It like a小品. It was just a fun 视频 to show on the Chinese New Year Gala. And what we did was like 平田的世界. With accents, I didn’t do the one with the accent part. I did the main body part.
I don&`&t actually remember a whole part of it. Something I remember was…brace yourself:
Yeah, and I did the whole thing myself and there is somebody else who did with like a 东北 accent. Like:
Just like that. It was really funny. People loved it.
思羽: Future is a million dollar question. There are a lot of things I can do with a government and math double major but like my problem is that I have to choose what to do. I also stay.. that is I&`&ll try me best to gain some job experiences in United States. I mean I am already here so why… It will be better if I not only have some experiences and school but also experiences work place. I mean in the long term I can see myself maybe going to law school and in and ideal case scenario I will be working for an American firm in China. That&`&s it.
思羽: Yeah, thank you, thank you so much for inviting me. It&`&s a lot of fun talking to you. I wish VOE the brightest future. I hope all you guys have a great semester. Thank you.
