ZiQing Kuang, Staff Writer
My name is Ziqing Kuang. I am a sophomore at ACP, and this is my first year with the newspaper team. My hobbies include volleyball, reading, writing, and traveling. I have played volleyball for four years, and it has been my comfort place for quite a long time. I have met so many amazing friends and players through this sport, and ACP Volleyball has given me a family of beautiful and kind girls. It's crazy to think that the first time I touched a volleyball was at ACP Erie's gym.
I also love traveling as well. I have been to Hawaii, Europe, China, and Taiwan, and all these places have taught me something about myself that I didn’t know before. Going back home to China is always super nostalgic for me, and I am always happy to go back and visit my family every couple years. I have always wanted to join the newspaper team, and I think it is a great opportunity for me to meet new people and to learn more about myself as a writer.
Over the summer, I attended a Columbia University journalism workshop, and I immediately decided that I wanted to join the newspaper team here at ACP. Writing has always been my passion, and it is a great way for me to express my feelings and opinions. ACP Erie is the perfect place for me to try out new things, and the staff and students are always so supportive. I love that students are encouraged to be more creative and involved in their school. Not only have I met some of my best friends here at Erie, I have also learned so much about myself as a student, friend, and player. I am so excited for this year even though it has been a confusing and crazy summer, and I hope to continue to become a better person and student.
