Today, she no longer mentions her past figure skating career, but in her resume, she hopes to make a big difference in the finance/consulting field.
To this end, she also studied at a program offered by JPMorgan Chase.
However, once upon a time, this preparatory career in the financial industry dreamed of participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
In 2014, at the age of 10, Jenna stepped into formal figure skating for the first time. For the next four years, she trained hard and participated in various figure skating competitions, large and small.
The results are also very gratifying.
In 2018, Jenna represented the Guangzhou Arctic Figure Skating Club at the U.S. Junior National Championships.
In one fell swoop, it achieved a good result of 12th place.

Genius figure skating girl, the future star of Chinese figure skating! For a while, everyone had high hopes for Jenna, who was only 14 years old.
believes that as long as she insists on skating and participating in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, it is definitely not a fool's dream.
However, there are too many uncertainties in the figure skating project, and funding, training, and just the development of girls can kill a lot of geniuses at the moment when they break into butterflies.

Jenna, once known as a genius, suddenly disappeared in the figure skating circle, and when her name was mentioned by the media again, it was already 2021.
That year, Jenna was reported by major US media for driving her biological father into the "ICU" for rescue.
The report of that year reads, April 19.
Jenna, 17, had a fierce argument with her 50-year-old father because of a disagreement.
After that, Jenna, who did not want to bother to say more, ran out of the house in anger and wanted to drive away from this place of right and wrong. However, the father, who was also angry, did not want to end the debate hastily.
So, when Jenna was driving away, her 50-year-old father jumped on the hood of the car, intending to block Jenna's departure.

However, what I never expected was that my father's "moth to the fire" behavior. Not only did it not calm people down, but it angered Jenna, who was already angry in her heart.
So, although her father was still lying on the hood, Jenna stepped on the gas pedal fiercely, threw him far away, and collapsed to the ground seriously injured.
Although after being rescued by the hospital, his father was finally out of danger, but he was also left with serious sequelae.

Afterwards, Jenna was sued by the prosecutor's office for bodily injury and reckless driving. In court, Jenna, 17, burst into tears on the spot, crying and saying that she knew she was wrong and wished that none of this had happened.
However, local prosecutors said that the family had been accumulating evil for a long time, and the police had been called over more than a dozen times before the crime.
In the end, because of a momentary impulse, the whole family paid a heavy price.
At that time, Jenna's mother could no longer continue to work because she had to take care of her injured father. Families with stable incomes lost their family source in an instant.
We can only rely on the fundraising of the neighborhood to get through the difficulties.

And after having a criminal record, Jenna, who originally had a great future, also fell directly into the dark moment of life.
She was once thrown an olive branch by Stanford University, and her offer was canceled
Finally, she had nowhere to read
She could only start her freshman year at a community college where anyone could attend
And, to subsidize the family
While concentrating on her studies, she also had to work 2 jobs at the same time

Actually, after the incident.
Many neighbors are shocked by the extremes of these 2 pairs of father and daughter. After all, in the eyes of many relatives and friends, the family can be called a "model immigrant" of Chinese descent.
Parents have successful careers and stable jobs
Her daughter has achieved great results and can also compete in the Olympic Games
This is how many immigrant families, dream of high match. However, what is unknown is that behind this envy of everyone, there is already a "dark tide"!
Figure skating, as an expensive winter snow event.
From the positioning is not "ordinary family" can afford to learn, after entering the figure skating door, without a lot of financial support, it is difficult to go down the road of figure skating.
However, the reality is that Jenna's father was just a software engineer.
Although the income is not low, it is obviously not enough to spend on figure skating.

The huge financial pressure made the whole family start to become tense in the later stage. Even, whenever Jenna's figure skating career is mentioned, father and daughter will have a big fight.
On one side is dreams, on the other is reality.
Even if you are a genius, if you want to stand on the Olympic stage, you have to double the money and effort beyond ordinary people.
As a result, years of disagreement caused the families that had been working together to fall apart.
In the end, it came to the point of sighing.
In particular, when "Gu Ailing" swept the headlines last year, those who knew Jenna well were quite sorry for it, because the same talent, the same from China, the same dream of the Beijing Olympics, the same ice and snow sports, the same Stanford threw an olive branch.
Today's situation is very different.
However, life originally has a variety of different ways of living, and no one can copy anyone's.
After paying for her momentary impulse, Jenna, who was deeply mired, relied on her own efforts to open up a new life path for herself.
After more than a year of dormancy, she could only attend a community college, and with excellent grades, she transferred to the prestigious Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.
Realized his dream of becoming a prestigious school.
In fact, like Gu Ailing, Jenna has also been a "child of others" with excellent grades since she was a child, favored by prestigious schools, and jumped grades one after another.
However, all this is bright and beautiful, and there are unknown tears and sweat behind it. Perhaps, those dreams and realities have also overwhelmed people in midnight dreams.
It can only be said that the past is not forgotten, and the future is a teacher!
Now, relying on yourself step by step, pull yourself out of the quagmire. Then bless Jenna with a new stage of her life.
This time, I can walk out of my own life path.
