about me

     My name is Senhai Qu. I was born in China on July 1989. I have been here for almost one year. Now I have a part time job. Actually I don't like that job. Even though I worked hard ,I got a little paid.Someone asked me "Do you know Obama borrowed a lot of money from China ?So why did you come to America?"  Until now, I have no answer with this question.
      A lot of people said it is really diffcult to pronounce my last name "Qu". I can do it in Chinese, but can not do it in English. I heard some guys called me "Mr.  Q".
      English is a really diffcult language for me although I started learning it when I was 13 years old. Now, I have no others choices because I am in the USA.
