First Week School

Experiencing new things is always one of the most important parts of a person’s life.

Last week, I started studying in America and experiencing new things, camping trip was interesting. Although now I am exhausted, I can feel that there is a big change happening in myself which will make me become a better person.

One week ago, I still did not have much experience studying in a school as a boarding student, but now I can manage my day by myself well.


At the beginning of the week, because I was new in my school, and also new in America, I could not communicate well with teachers and students from other nationalities. The reason why I could not communicate with them was that I was afraid of them, but I was afraid of mistakes because I did not want to make the atmosphere become embarrassing. However, after bonding with the others on the W.I.L.D camping trip, I was not afraid anymore because of my grammar mistakes. After I knew that, I started to communicate with other students to discuss daily life with them. Although I am still not good at speaking English, I am not afraid of speaking English anymore, which is big improvement for me. The beginning is always the hardest part of something, but if I can endure the hardship of the beginning, the future will absolutely become bright.

You are (not) alone.

  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 ...

About Soft Drink and Sugar

For some of the middle scholars in The Webb School, the amount of sugar they assimilate everyday is too much for them. Moreover, the situation of overdrinking soda is especially common among the middle school borders, so I believe we are in dire need of change. The lacking of self-control and the fact that their parents cannot know what they drink in the cafeteria are two major factors why children tend to drink soda. Personally, I'd like to say that instead of eradicating soft drink from the cafeteria, it is more reasonable for the school to add extra fee on them. To start with, asking students to pay extra fee for soft drink can bring down the number of students who drink too much. As we all know, it is hard to teach middle scholars what self-control is. Therefore, to reduce the amount of sugar they assimilate in each day, the plan of adding fee on soft drink would be perfect: although middle scholars don't care about health, they do care about money. For instance, Nathe...

Experience of Community Service

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...
