Why Chinese ?

Most of the people are asking me why Chinese and how did Chinese help me ?I will try to answer those question as best as I can :)
Why Chinese?
I always wanted to do something special with my life.I grew up in the country side where people are not as nice as you would think. I was put down by people who didn't really knew me or accepted me , by teachers who were supposed to help me reach my potential.....instead they said I was a mediocre , I will never do anything special or important because ,'',.....She is hard working but not smart enough.....''. So I decided to show every single one of them that if I want to ,I can do anything I want . And boy I AM STUBBORN , I won't take no for an answer. With tons of ups and downs with hours and hours of encouragement from my mom I did it. I am a teacher ...... My kids love me ....just ask them, I will never do to them what my teachers did to me ( I do have to thank 2 very special teachers who gave me wings when the others were trying to cut them off : My Romanian teacher from middle school Mrs Sofia Anton and Mrs Tomescu, my biology teacher, thank you ladies you are awesome). So Why Chinese................ because I wanted to be awesome. Passion came after....:)
How did Chinese help me become who I am ?
Oh boy .......for foreign languages junkies like me the answer is not difficult to understand . A foreign language changes the way you see the world, the way you analyse a problem , it even changes your personality . And Chinese ......my God changes you completely. I see what other people don't, I understand a ton more than many of them about this world., And I am more understanding than the majority........I got to see so many different situations and so many results that everything forces you to really look at a problem from all angles before you  pass a judgement . I had so many friends from so many cultures and they all imprinted a little bit of them and their culture on me . I had such an amazing time and I know I was spoiled , amazing people like that come only once in a lifetime . ( I will talk more about them later). So culture changes your way of seeing things and ;language changes your way of thinking. It is scientifically proven that learning a new language opens new synapses in your brain.....in my brain it was a Chinese New Year Celebration!!!!!!!!!(you need to be there to fully understand what that means :)  ) I get people telling me that I see things completely different than they do ......well my darlings that is all Chinese .....;) . And I do get a nice sum of money every month for using it :)
Curious about anything ??? ask away ;)
