In the beginning . . . (well a few centuries later) a little Taiwanese princess came into this world with big brown eyes, unaware of all that life has to offer. Born in a Taiwanese cottage, she grew up experiencing the world with enthusiasm and a positive attitude with new things. Whether it was learning of the fine arts in society, or the realism of doing the impossible with no ones support. No matter what anyone said, there was no stopping Amanda.

"Giving up" was not in my vocabulary. I was a little girl at heart with stardom in my soul from the very beginning of my existence. Growing up, I was never able to sit still letting time rob me of my potential, always pleading with my parents to take me everywhere, even if it was really just another music lesson or a day in the park. I was a huge fan of the fine arts, music, and movies. Appreciating the eye of the artist, loving the voices of angels, and viewing on the big screen how they carried themselves and the way they could invoke the deepest emotions on film. I would organize musicals, plays, and concerts with my friends as a child. Even if it was just pretend, someday, I knew it would be real.

Let this be known, life was not always a pretty sight. Yet the wild and crazy side of me did share a gentle and creative side. I used to write hard cover books made out of soap boxes. One thing that I would never forget to do was take care of signing autographs for my fans. They had my picture in every magazine and newspaper across the orient. (I always liked the shine of fame.)

Then there were my two sisters! I really can't imagine growing up without them. Our childhood together is something we all can look back and laugh about. I really don't know how I would have ever grown up without my sisters. Although we were constantly fighting with each other, we have always had a special bond that keeps us close.

My family moved around quite a bit as I was growing up. From the old fashion Taiwan, to the Doublin Hills of Ohio USA, I got a taste of both worlds. I loved moving around. I always thought of our traveling together after my father past away as a new adventure. I haven't always loved change, but finding new friends has made it easier.

Professionalism, trust, and community all emerge, when real people are involved, standing behind their work. Using your real name substantiates your commitment to transparency and allows others to better collaborate with you. It also creates a greater investment in your work.

Using a real name, however, is not a requirement for participation -- look around, get your bearings, and once you come to know the vibrant, trusting community at AboutUs, make the switch.

You'll see many of our community members making posts, edits and suggestion using their real names. We encourage you to do the same.
