Hi. Welcome to my Blog. I have two names. One is my Chinese name: So Chun Kwong. The other is my American name: Christina. Most of my friends call me Christina. I speak several languages: Cantonese, Taishanese, Mandarin and some Shanghainese. I come from Anhui Province, China. I lived in Hong Kong for trwo years. After that I came to America in 1980.I have been here for 27 years and have been away from China for almost 30 years. The first job I got after I came to America was a seamstress. I worked in garment factories for 22 years. After 911, the company I worked for closed and I lost my job. It was hard to find another job. Then, finally, I got another job to work in a jewelry company. I worked there for 3 years but then quit because I didn't make enough money to support the family due to the slow business of the company. I switched to a different job - the job I am doing now as a home attendant. Since then, I have worked for a home care company and my job is to take care of elderly people. I cook for them, talk to them, make sure they take their medicine on time and sometimes take them outdoor to get some sunshine and fresh air. Some elderly people I take care of are sometimes moody picky, and even grumpy and hard to please, but I understand them and try to be patient. This is my job and I can't afford to lose it. Now I am quite used to it and the job is becoming easier for me.
