About Me!


Me in the local traditional wear in Xichang, Sichuan, China

Hey everyone!  My name is Autumn Marie Goodin.  I'm from good old Austin, Texas.  I'm so ready to begin my sophomore year at Trinity University.  I know this year is going to be infinitely better, because I now have a car(chevrolet astro van.)  At the moment, I'm pretty sure I'm going to double major in Chinese and International Business.  An interesting fact about me is that before coming to college I decided to defer my acceptance to Trinity and take a Gap year to live in China for 10 months.  I helped out an American family homeschool their three kids as well as study Chinese at the local college.  This process helped me discover I personally hate teaching; however, I do have a huge respect for anyone in the teaching profession.  Although I learned that teaching was not my forte, I loved studying Chinese!  At Trinity I am involved with a few extracurricular activities: Intervarstiy Christian Fellowship, Ambassadors, and Sigma Theta Tau.  I truly enjoy all the activities I'm involved with, and if your interested in joining too, you should let me know!  I do not have a very extensive computer background, so I am excited for this class to help me become more computer literate.  My family has alway owned a PC, but for college thus far I have owned a mac.  My email is 
agoodin@trinity.eduplease feel free to email me anytime!

  1. Would you ever want to go back to China after you graduate?

  2. Er I screwed up the last comment. I was responding to the wrong blog... uh anyway... It's really cool that you lived in China for 10 months. Did you study any Chinese before you went there?

  3. I really like the picture of you in the traditional wear. That is really cool! Does everyone wear that daily or just for special occasions?

  4. I have had a couple friends take a gap year before they went to college and they raved about their experience. that is very exciting and unique that you chose to go to china, very relevent to world politics and trade today.
