Last week, I had one of my favorite birthdays. Because in 2018, February 16th is also the first day of the Chinese New Year, I participated in a huge Lunar New Year party in The Webb School. Although it is not held not only for me but also all other Chinese students and faculties who were parts of the school, I still feel satisfied. The Reason why I felt so happy about my birthday is not only because of that party but also some other details which moved me. To start with, after someone announced February 16th was my birthday in chapel, many people, both my friends and those I wasn’t familiar with, said happy birthday to me. In China, Because my birthday is always at the time when my peers were enjoying the Chinese New Year with their family, they hardly ever send a personal birthday wishes to me on my birthday. Therefore, those wishes that the others gave me are important for me. I believe this is the first time I received this much birthday wishes from the others in my birthd...

During the Christmas break, I went back to China and spent lots time with my relatives and friends. Although I had not interacted with them face to face for four months already, I could feel that the link between us became stronger. However, after I had lunch with my friends from Chinese middle school, I got a strong sense of alienation which made me feel kind of sad. I had lunch with them at September 31th. Originally, we planned to have dinner together, but because one of my best friends had a schedule conflict, we decided to have lunch instead. At that day, we gathered at a metro station and went to the Japanese restaurant where we would have lunch. On the way, everyone except me and one of my friends who went to Australia for high school was talking about their Chinese high school lives, and I could hardly ever participate in their conversation: when I tried to participate and tell them about my life in an American high school, they were usually indifferent about what I said. ...

  Although I can remember the details of almost everything that happened in my life, for some reasons, I am not a person of reminiscence. Therefore, in this blog, I will only write about those who I met in this four months and provided me with warmth and helps.   First, I want to express my thankfulness to the faculty members of the Webb School, especially Mrs. Berzinskas, Mr. Chicken, and Ms. Qian.   To all the international students like me, Mrs. Berzinskas is like a friend who is always willing to help us when we are in trouble. In these four months, I've experienced more things than I experienced in one year in the past. I saw how a Chinese girl who was not confident about herself changed her classes in the beginning of the semester. Also, I saw how a Russian boy became addicted to drug and kicked out by the school at the end of the first quarter. When these two things happened on these two kids, Mrs. Berzinskas tried to help them as much as she could, just ...

  27th Sep. 2017   Today was a sunny day, also a Block Day.   In China, people always say that the sky without any cloud can make them have a good mood. However, I don’t think so because in my opinion, if there is only blue above the sky, it is just the same as there is only white cloud covering the sky.    I had French, World History, and English Today. Compared to the other classes that I attend, World History and English are truly not the type of class that I like.   At the Seminar, I filled ACT’s information form . Before I come to America, I took SSAT in Shanghai for two times, the student information form for ACT is similar to SSAT’s.   Tuesday is always so interesting, because after attended three classes, we go to club. I chose Animation club for my A club and Greenfeet club for my B club. Today is an A club day, so I went to the Animation club in Lundin’s Art Center.   ...

After I came to America, I cultivated a habit of writing diaries. I do not write every single day. Only when there is something unique or interesting happens, I write. Usually, I write after study hour because writing something before sleep can always provide me with a feeling of"this day is already over". There was nothing special what happened this week, maybe this is because I am already adapted to the rhythm of life at Webb. Therefore, for this week's Blogger, I will write about some events that happened in the last several weeks but I did not write down in my former two posts. First thing is that I went on the dorm camping trip with Cooper-Farris kids over the three-day-weekend. Compared to this camping trip, the 9th grade camping trip was a piece of cake. In this 24-hour camping trip, we set up a tent and lit a bonfire by ourselves. After the trip, I know much more about the kids who live in Cooper-Farris, some of them have great leadership, some of them cann...

Lot things in the world are permanent, which means that they are unchangeable and unquenchable. The formula "2+2=4" is a good example. Curiosity is one of the always permanent things because people always tend to have a great curiosity for the things that they have never seen before. I think that is the reason why I want to do community service. In fact, when I was doing the community service of standing on a rock slate to ensure the cross-country runners was running along the right way, I was bored. The only two things I could do were watching them running by walking paces and waving my arms to tell them which way to go. Other volunteers were working in groups, only I was working individually, it meant that I did not even have a person who I could talk to. However, only when the atmosphere is silent and you feel bored, you can be conscious of something really detailed. When I was standing on the rock slate, I saw different types of cross country runners. Some of th...
