My name is Hai and I was born in Vancouver Washington. I grew up in Vancouver all my life and lived with my grandparents for a long time. My family has moved a lot. We moved from my grandparents house, to like two apartments, and then to a house, and then soon, we’re going to move back into my grandparents house again. Since I lived with my grandparents as a kid, I’m very disciplined. They taught me what’s right and what’s wrong and I think that’s why I don’t get into trouble as much because I know what the right thing to do is. Of course, I get in trouble sometimes, but hey, everyone does sometimes. So that’s how I grew up. Both my parents aren’t artists, but my sister has to arts. She dances, and she draws. She is really, really good at both. I actually took a picture of one of her pictures she won an award for, for a photo challenge.

As for me, I have no artistic skill whatsoever. All I do is go to the gym and lift weights. That’s my passion. What I want to be when I grown up is a trainer at 24 hour fitness. I plan to study biology for this to know how the body works. And of course some other classes too in order to be a trainer. What led me to this photography class was that I thought it would be something different for me and it’d be fun. And it was both. I enjoyed this class a lot because it’s a different class and it’s something I never tried before. Photography is pretty challenging.
