By looking back of the classes I have had in OC, other than many of my Finance courses I took with Derek. Marc’s class is probably the best one I have enjoyed. I think I am so used to get ready on Thursday to join this xx, don’t know what exact word can describe it, such as group, party, meeting; It is a class that I really actively learned; however, I feel it’s more like a big family, everyone knows each other so well
I never felt stressful being here, and I was not nervous of eye contacting each audience while I was at the stage. Because I know everybody was being so supportive and they were really listening. I was being so comfortable of expressing ideas and in group discussions. I can’t tell enough goodness about this course. I really think this is a well done course for Marc.
I remember walking into the very first class, I was hesitate and unsure the outcome. When Marc was going through the outline, I though “god, this is so complex”, plus I only knew couple students well in the class. Now, I had gone coffee with Leslie two times. She was such a trust worthy and reliable person I had not resisted self-disclosing myself for the interview assignment. When I started my first big job, I was always being coached. Now, I am proud that I had been a coach too!! I am a lucky girl that I had partnered with Jen to coach. She is definitely an awesome girl and she earned my respect. My first time in a team with Wei broke the ice on the surface. What a future leader!
I can’t forget also Ash, Emily, Wes, Felicia, Ian, Ting, Kathy, Hengchi, Haoqi, Jason, Craig, James, Steve, Joel, Justin and Nadine. You guys are all amazing. Hah, I can actually name everybody, never did in other classes! By the way, you are still handsome Wes after haircut; you too Marc, you really initiated change and I will vote for you film until it wins.
Finally, I want to say good luck everyone on whatever you are doing. Stay positive, and up up every day. I may see some of you in grad ceremony next summer! Right on!

Film made by Marc
That touchy feeling is still surrounding me. I remember from the very beginning of the class, Marc emphasized do not biz talking; however, using genuine tone in writing and speaking. Now I see the really magic from it with the blending of self disclosure.
I promptly watched this video when it just came active on the 6th, now I still tempted to watch it one more time. Not particularly a specific image, not a particular motion, but the statement Marc passed on made me thinking. “I admire the simplicity of mathematics, you can always come to an answer it is either black or white” I thought my goodness he was going to talk about math in the film? You may not know of that personally I am really resisted to take math class unless mandatory. As you could imagine, I skipped the statement related to variables and so on for the first couple times watching it. However, now, as I really clicking buttons back and forth listening to it, I gained understanding of it and it is actually a great metaphor used here. Marc revealed “in math, identity defines its equality holds regardless of the value of it variables. This is how I like to think of my canadianess. ” we all had done in class activity disclosing life is blah blah, here is a self disclosure from Marc that what being a Canadian is. I am guessing canadianness symbolize somehow isolation. Because he reviews his canadianness is separated equality from variables. In addition, when the movie is close to an end, I hear that “stepping back I can see that these variables stabilize the outside world” I don’t think this is a coincidence of repeating, but this film is really a piece of work that Marc had spent time on.
These statements, I want to call it a confession, are very refined, I really loved it. The black and white film and pictures remind me the past. It gets the audience striding across the time era from the past, which his parents had gone through the toughness of being not original Canadian; the present, which Marc had been affected negatively when he was young and never want anyone else to be affected again, I am sure each non Canadian students will nod head firmly, they are being treated with great respect, and the future, his little daughter, she speaks English French, and Spanish, what a great admirer of being multicultureness!!!

Listen to me!!
based on what I have learned about Marc, his musical tastes could be very broad. I feel that he would enjoy classic rock songs the most since they generally about telling a story. I don’t feel that Marc would enjoy contemporary music like hip hup, even though I think he is a good dancer. Based on Marc’s educational background in english literature, I believe he would enjoy songs that are a ballad. Marc’s favorite bands would be the range from Rolling Stones to Frank Sinatra and Marvin Gaye. The following five songs are the ones I listened to and feel it would fit in Marc's taste.
1) Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival
This song is about the thoughts of a young man who is being drafted. This song is among one of the greatest songs in history and I believe that Marc enjoy appreciating its meaning.
2) Copperhead Road by Steve Earl
This is about a family who ran moonshine and about the loss of a member. The son inherits the family business and learns new techniques from his time in Vietnam to avoid getting caught running his moonshine. This is a badass song and I think Marc feeling in it.
3) Hey Jude by The Beatles
Hey Jude is a classic song by the Beatles. It was written by Paul McCartney to comfort John Lennon’s son during his divorce. This was when Yoko ruined everything. I think its good to listen to relax from unhappy incidents.
4) Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan
This song is probably one of the greatest songs in rock history. It can mean a lot of different things, depending on how the listener perceives it. I read it is about how people can be stilted in how they view others. Marc's teaching style is so innovative that he highly respect every student and I already started to like him.
5) Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Because of Marc’s father's influence in opera, I’m sure Marc can tell some the meaning behind the opera. This song is about a guy who commits a crime and he realizes that he will have to pay for his sins. This song is emotional and I guess Marc can walk through it by his literary studying background. By the way, Marc has published his own books!!!wow!!
One song, I think Marc enjoys but his wife won’t let him listen to is "hey Jude" because its about misfortune in family life. (These are just guessing derived from massive research with assistance of understanding the meaning of songs from a canadian friend)

Getting to know Cindy a little more
It was couple years ago; I guess I was at the age of must catching the trend…my hair was dyed to blond; I put makeup on everyday; shopping for brand clothing and purse was always fun; I even visited plastic surgery clinic to get advice on getting double eyelid type… I am glad I did not get it done and I am happy that now I am living a style of simplicity and being self-supportive. Although I still have wishes…
First of all, I want to add sense of humour into my character. I am always inspired by and want to make friends with person who is funny and can tell many of jokes; I want to be a person to make you feel enjoyable and delightful when we had a chat. I had a college he blended humor sense well into customer service and his cusomers always like coming back to see him and give high compliments on his job performance,what a great thing to learn to be funny....
Secondly, could I have a less strong personality… by completing the interview with Leslie; I became realized maybe my character was strongly influenced by my younger sister. If there was no so-called one child policy and my younger sister never has been sent away, so my parents and we three kids could have grew up together, life would be so different and I would have been more willing to share my goodies with her.
Thirdly, I wish I am brighter on normal distribution or possibilities. Therefore, that management science course would be an appetizer to me rather than a smelly junk.
Next, if i am a pianoist. I was always pushed to study hard at school, beside that, I had a shool teacher was very fond of my handwriting, so I was trained brush handwriting for about year. However,my real dream is to be a pianosist. Maybe it is not too late yet to start,just need to find one, huh?
I have another wish is to be more self confident and give away many smile—to the people who need to be cheered up.

Cindy's Eulogy
Cindy left the world suddenly and quietly after a class on Thursday night…..
She grew up in a small town which is called WeiFang, where almost everyone knows how to handmade a kite. One day, her elementary teacher decided to throw a competition for the entire class. Each student was required to DIY a kite made by them and fly it onto the sky, and whose kite taking least time to take-off and staying longest on air will win. Cindy thought: “well, the DIYs tend to be not reliable, so there are high chances of failure, why don’t I…?” As a result, Cindy spent all the pocket money and bought a kite from a shop to the competition, she almost wowed the entire class for the beautiful outlook of the kite, she was so happy and never thought in fact this kite liked hitting the ground. This experience was ever so embarrassing and her personality started showing to change. Her perspective to achieving accomplishments since then had been emphasizing practically on practical input and the consistency. She always being so kind and wants to bring joy to people surrounding her, her mum will always be laughing when she reminds those funny stories she told her. When she was at twelve years old, she chose to attend a boarding school miles away from home to learn to be independent, it is from then Cindy developed her personality, brave, diligent and likes exploring. Now, she is at a entirely different country and get to a higher level of her.
Cindy will be greatly missed by her family and friends…..
