About Me

My hometown is Brentwood, Tennessee, and I graduated from Brentwood High School. In my free time, I love to read (anything from classics like Jane Eyre to modern sci-fi/fantasy like Lord of the Rings), sketch or paint (my favorite subjects are people), watch/read anime/manga, or play badminton (though I'm definitely in need of practice!).

I'm an American-Born-Chinese, and I visit my grandparents in Beijing, China every other summer.

I'm currently a freshman at Duke University (Pratt) and I live in Brown Dorm.

Name Pronunciation

So, my first name-Helen-is basically a given. I haven't ever had someone mispronounce it (In case someone does, however, it's pronounced "HEH-len"). I have had some friends try to abbreviate it, though, but I think it's pretty obvious why that doesn't work. My last name, the way all Chinese people pronounce it, is like the name "John" without the "n" at the end.
