Welcome to my story!

Hello, dear Professor Boehmke, nice to meet you b（￣▽￣）d　 I’m Yang Ding, and my English name is Abigale, so you can call me Abi as well~ Why do I choose this English name for myself?

And I went to undergraduate in Beijing.

I have learned some courses on Coursera and used the following software for some academic projects, but seldom used coding.

· I like movies, books, drawing, cooking and playing the violin.

· I will spare no effort to study all the courses in my master program, and find a good job as an analyst in USA!!!

Today I am sad,

so I should practice R programming harder.

(I wrote a code chunk for this part. The mood “sad” is one of the symbol choices, you can change it and find something interesting!)
