Introduction

My name is Weizi Lee. I was born on Mother’s day. My family hopes I can process a kind and gentle heart to protect my family. So I was named as weizi.

There are four family members in my family: my father, my mother, my sister and I. My home is in Taoyuan. We have a sweet puppy - Harry. Harry is the important member in my family, and brings me many happiness in my life. My family always respects our thoughts and encourages us to study and engage in pursuing knowledge.

I was graduated from the department of early childhood education , National Taitung University. After graduation, I was trained in the Tauyuan kindergarten for a year. Then I began a kindergarten substitute teacher in Hsinchu and Taipei. Now, I am the graduated student of Toy and Game Design in the National Taipei University of Education.

Collection toys, reading comics, doing arts and handicrafts are my interests. I have many dolls. I like dress up my dolls and take pictures with them. I expect that I can combine art with what I have learned from early education. To be a creative successful teacher and let many children learn through operation are my ideal dreams. Making my dreams come true would be my great pleasure.
