Giving the Deepestest Thankfulness to Those Who Helped Me Find the Light

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 birthday.

In addition, my classmates of World History I sang happy birthday song to me when we were waiting for Mr. Chicken to open the door of his classroom. I was surprised by them because I was really quiet in history class and got little sense of participating. I'd say that they were the people who surprised me the most on my birthday.

Moreover, my parents came to Tennessee and had a really good time with me. I haven't seen them for nine weeks already. Although I didn't get homesick, I still miss them pretty much.

Thanks for condoling me in the most difficult dilemma and helping me find the way out in the blinding darkness.

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...
