Hi, this is Li again!  How’s your summer going?  I got my first puppy today, and I named him Bobby! P.s. Please pardon my English grammar errors.  I am an international student, posting from Beijing, China this summer. Thanks!

Shannon as a role model

Shannon is a role model for girls who are looking for real lives and for those are finding true values. , Shannon keeps questioning herself that she wonders what role she is playing in the world.  She is doing everything that she was supposed to be doing. But,  she always wonders why she isn’t happier. Eventually, she understood it.  She starred in the role that she chooses in this great life.

The entrepreneurial spirit in us all

Shannon is building a real world for herself.  She is a girl, spending her life desiring to know herself. She has great self-awareness and wisdom about choice, emotions, perspective, keeping a positive attitude.  Shannon has improved the question “Who am I?” and now she wants to create a life with real value.

Overcoming challenges

All of her wisdom and thoughts have helped Shannon tremendously for surviving in the world.  She surely wants to thrive and needs to figure out how to apply her wisdom which can help her survive and creating a life in which she can thrive.

My career learning from Shannon

I view Shannon as a philosopher.  My philosophy class taught me always to challenge ourselves “who am I,” “what is real,” and “what kind of person I will be?”  As an economic student, I personally think philosophers think too much.  However, Shannon applies those questions into her life  and made a difference.  Her concept of reinventing oneself helps me to perceive a different life style, which is always challenging you and making a progress.
