Kelvin Yang, a freshman, has just moved to San Mateo from Taiwan. He used to attend Tsai Hsing High School in Taipei. He came here to study English. “School is much harder over there.” Kelvin had to go to school from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and had to take many classes.
Kelvin is sixteen years old and was born on February 4, 1992. He came from Taiwan one month ago and now lives in San Mateo with his legal guardians while his parents still live in Taiwan. He says, “It is a lot more boring here. Taiwan is much more convenient. I need to get used to it.”
His hobbies include shopping and basketball. His favorite team is the Los Angeles Lakers. “Basketball is much bigger than baseball (in Taiwan) while soccer is so-so.” His favorite band is Linkin Park and his favorite movie is Rome Holiday. Kelvin loves comedies and says American music and movies are fairly popular in Taiwan but Taiwanese entertainment is still better liked. He prefers American music though, “Pop music is my favorite but I like hop-hop and jazz.”
Kelvin’s favorite food is tacos. He does not yet drive but would like to. He has a girlfriend back in Taiwan and they have been going out for six months.
His favorite class is ELD taught by Mr. Faber. His favorite subject is math and is currently in Mr. Kryger’s Algebra II class. He likes San Mateo High School much more because it is more interesting than his old school. Kelvin likes that he doesn’t have to wear uniforms because he attended a private school before.
Kelvin plans on going to a nice college, preferably Stanford after he graduates. He will also be going back to Taiwan to visit his friends.
