Personal Health History : 

Personal Health History My legal name is Peter Shea Peter Shea actually represents my American name. My true name is 谢铁 (Xie Tie). In China, the last name comes before the first name. My name literally means thank, iron. The Xie family goes back in history to a clan of blacksmiths. Because I am the firstborn son, iron represents a strong post for the families foundations. Although I am 100% Chinese, I was American born on November 12, 1994 in Blacksburg Virginia.

Family Interview: Feng 波连 : 

Family Interview: Feng 波连 Age: 85 My oldest relative, my grandma, lives in China. She is near deaf and I could hardly even ask one question however, she has had a very interesting medical past.

The Question of the Day : 

The Question of the Day Q: I’ve noticed that you’ve been smoking for the last 50 years. Why is that? She told me that she was extremely rich at the time compared to her neighbors as she was head of the health division in her district. During the time she lived, Mao Zedong tried his Cultural Revolution and new industrial ideas that ultimately failed and starved the Chinese nation. She was always generous and gave her money to those who needed it. She donated so much that she never really fed herself properly and eventually starved herself. She was later diagnosed with a painful ulcer. She had to undergo stomach surgery and half her stomach was removed. Because there was no pain medicine back then for the stomach, the doctors told her to smoke and she has been smoking ever since. She tells me that it is quite addicting and that although she has never experienced something like lung cancer, she coughs quite a bit and smokes a pack a day. I tell her that is very unhealthy but she says that she can’t stop after 50 years of habit. I tried asking her more questions but she couldn’t hear me properly. I roughly translated what she said from Chinese to English because I can hardly hear her and she can’t hear me when I tell her to speak a little louder.

Immigration : 

Immigration I am the first generation of my family to be born in the United States My father and mother married in China and gave birth to my oldest sister She was constantly sick and so they decided to move to the United States My dad studied at Virginia Tech and got his PhD in physics. My mom moved shortly after he did and gave birth to me.

Health Traits : 

Health Traits My parents were very malnourished in China. They also come from different backgrounds. My father’s side was extremely poor and labeled a “bad” family. My mother’s side was famous and rich enough to get through hard times. For this, my parents and their ancestors were malnourished and remained short. Interestingly, my grandpa on my Father’s side had a disease who’s name is still a mystery to me. He grew an extra bone in his left knee which causes a painful tear in the muscle. He passed it down to my dad who unfortunately passed it down to me. But with constant excersize, I’ve learned to ignore this pain and now I am participating in many athletic sports.

Social Life Emotional Health : 

Social Life Emotional Health I have a decent social life. I love hanging out with friends, sometimes I like to “jam” with my musician friends. We always have a good time. I love composing music, playing drums, guitar and piano. I also love debating and swimming. I have a dog named Coco. She’s a border collie- Labrador mix.

Continued Social Life and Mental Health : 

Continued Social Life and Mental Health I’ve never really traveled outside of San Diego, but it would be really nice to visit my relatives in China so I can learn what its like to live there. I try not to stay too attached to a single person and I hang out with different groups during lunch every day I’ve skipped pre-school but I went to Turtleback Elementary, Oak Valley Middle School and Rancho Bernardo High School. I am currently at Del Norte High School Our school is tiny so we don’t have many clubs. I hope to hold officer positions in key club and I want to get a drumline and DECA program started

Picture Timeline : 

Picture Timeline All my family pictures were destroyed when a bunch of punks broke into our house while we were on vacation in Virginia. The trashed the place and tore all the pictures. Now, I hardly have any pictures of myself. The only things I have are from Facebook that other people tagged me in. I really have not had any significant achievements in my life since maybe middle school November 12, 1994 I was born in my house in Blacksburg VA November 12, 1997 I was given a keyboard for my 3rd birthday. My first musical notes February 15, 2008 I found passion in playing the drums July 25, 2008 I joined the RB Drumline playing the cymbals. Went to DN. Became VP of Many clubs like Debate, Model UN. I am the top drummer at my school. I joined the swim team and I hope to march the Snare Drum next year for Del Norte’s Inaugural marching year. Only one at Del Norte who took home 3rd place at The Huntington Beach Model UN conference 4/23/10

My Crest : 

My Crest In the 1st grade I had to overcome my English problems as I didn’t know how to speak I have many happy moments in my life. When I put forth 110% effort into achieving something, no matter what the outcome, I’m still the happiest guy on the planet Overcoming extreme challenges like the Witchcreek fires and snowstorms in VA. 9 people is extremely hard to handle in such difficult catastrophies and times. I can treat others with more respect and understand what I’m really getting myself into when I obligate myself to a task I would wish success upon all others, and rid this world of the chaos we have recently fallen in Hard working, Musical, Persevering Peter Shea 谢铁

My Unique Self : 

My Unique Self http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PTDv_szmL0I’ve attached a youtube video incase the mp3 doesn’t play. I really like this song, not because of the lyrics, but the beat and the background music. Its sublime and has a groove that I really like and that I think represents my kind of style and personality. Its got an impact while sounding really cool. The song is Nothin On You by B.o.B feat. Bruno Mars.

Hellloo. A rather sophisticated self portrait of me : 

Hellloo. A rather sophisticated self portrait of me Simlicity Matters I tried my best but I don’t have a working scanner. AnywaysI’m not too snazzy on drawings although it isone of my favorite hobbies

My Future : 

My Future Although probably 20 million people have already said this around the USA, my mom truly is my hero. She battles her disabilities while still running a family of 9. I always try to help her do the dishes and yet, every time I don’t have time, my heart cracks a little because I truly care about her and watching her go through the pain of even standing up makes me feel so lucky to have such a mom. I actually have written a letter. It was more than a letter rather, it was a submission to San Diego’s 50 Best Mom’s and she was one of them. This was last year and it is attached towards the end.

50 Best Mom’s Intro : 

50 Best Mom’s Intro Strength and sacrifice are related in similar ways. Strength is the ability to have the mental focus and power to take in everything and show nothing. Sacrifice is the ability to let go for the benefit of something. Combining the two, a strong person has the ability to sacrifice without emotion or regret. My mother has the strongest ability to sacrifice. It is not easy raising seven children, especially with the painful spine condition, bulging disk, however, my mom would sacrifice anything, even her health, to maintain peace and happiness in the family.

My Future Continued : 

My Future Continued In the future I see myself working as an economist perhaps even a politician. One of the two. In three years I hope to be in Stanford or UC Berkley. In 5 years I hope to have a major and in 9 years I hope to be working and possibly married. If I could ever possibly accomplish this, I’d do everything it takes to pay back my parents not only monetarily, but all the suffering and pain they went through to raise me the way I am.

Media Awareness : 

Media Awareness The media actually does tend to influence the way I live my life. Musically, I like to listen to what makes me happy. Activities, I am slightly influenced. When I was little Pokémon was the coolest thing and it was all because of the media. I like to wear clothing that best fits my style. What ever I think feels good and looks good , I wear. The media does help me keep up to date with new trends and fashions, however, it is unhealthy to • Create a billboard that contains a positive body image slogan.
