Hello! Everybody

 I'm very glad to be here for this class. My name is Rumi. I come from Taichung. I major in finance. My hobby are listening to music and riding a bike. In my leisure time, I sometimes go biking with my friends. I am a person who is determined, shy, and responsible. Although I'm a shy person, I have an itch for adventure. I like to try on new things, and have the courage to take a challenge. When I get you into trouble, I always tell myself “Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve.”So I'm not afraid of all difficulties. Learn from your mistakes, growing from failure.
