Post in Brief:

Essay question: choose the ideal investment package in NYC—school, vehicle, house, rifle, or luxury shoes?

I grew up in multiple backgrounds, and was trained by military, police, and academic education families. At my age of 15, I earned the Percentile Rank PR99 in Taiwan National Exam, and studied in the top ranking girls’ high school. Our ladies have a year which is two semesters, and must select the military training class to operate Rifle, exams, and participated in the bullet shooting at an outdoor firing range.

My family: ≥3 military; ≥2 police, 1 chief; ≥6 scholar; ≥2 PhD; ≥$340K NYC & Daoist temple investor, etc.

For guys or girls who lack of knowledge in my family and background. Their noneducational behavior and nonsense gossip aren’t my responsibility. Guys meet me in person, I’d like to do a both-side background check officially. Likewise, I can list my dates’ families and their resume. Are those guys qualified to judge me and families on anything?

Based on my legal information I have researched on July 13, 2025, doing the double-check them again, and refined the format on September 11, 2025.
