First week of school

I am a ninth grader at The Webb School. Before school began, I was excited and nervous for I didn't know what the school would be like.  I was wondering if I would make any friends at the school. However, when I attended orientation day, all of my nervousness went away because of the friendliness of the students and the teachers.

In the first few days, I made some foreign friends like Olivia, Sarah, Ria...They were all very nice to me eventhough my English is not fluent enough, and I didn't know how to express myself. When I was asking them some questions, they listened to me carefully and answered me at a slow speed in order to make me understand. That made me become less scared about making foreign friends. Besides,  during the classes, I knew what the teachers said and what my classmates discussed, but I could barely join their discussions, so I knows I need to improve my speaking skills, and the best way is to make more friends and to talk to them.

On Friday, we went camping to National Forest Park. Although it was really hot there, and I got sun burn, I still had a lot of fun. It was worth celebrating that I canoed and climbed for the first time, and I found myself really good at this.

Although I had some plights during the first week, I am still very excited to be a new student of The Webb School because I have met many friends, and I'm discovering myself here.😎😎😎

Volleyball Team During my first year abroad. I consider about how to make more American friends and how to join their group all the time, as a result, I made a big decision--join the volleyball team. Although I have never played volleyball before, I am good at badminton and I believe their are many similarities between badminton and volleyball. So I told the coach that I have played a little bit before. After that, he let me join the volleyball practice to see if I could be a member of the volleyball team.  During the practice time, I was so nervous for I have never played before. However, I followed other players and did what they did. First, passed the ball to the coach. When he popped the ball back and set it for me, then I need to hit it to the other side of the net. Even though I missed some of the balls, I still did a good job in that. Finally, the coach told me,"You must be in this team!". I am so excited.After the first practice, the coach told me that ther...

My favorite book  My favorite book is “the Great Gatsby”. The story’s contention was set in the prosperous 1922’s Long Island in the United States, during that time, America was in their Jazz Age which the most significant thing for people in that time is the money and the position.  When I first saw the title, I did not know why the book is called “the Great Gatsby”, and I thought  that many this book is a outstanding person's memoir. However, after I finished reading this book, I understand the intention of the author of using this name--When the entire society are engaged in having fun, Gatsby did not follow the mainstream, he uses all his time to pursue his “American Dream” and even though the book said nothing about the greatness of Gatsby, but with the development of the story, I understand that.   Of the whole book, all of the plots are  telling stories between different  couples, Quite the opposite,  there's no true love between them...

If I could create my own holiday

                HeLa Day          Recently, I have been watching news online. Last week, I found an really interesting topic which let people to created their own holiday. Some of them want t create a Sleeping Day, while others want to create a Fasting Day. For me, I would like to create a HeLa Day.          I recently just finished reading the bool called " The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks".  While most of the cancer cells died soon after being exposed to laboratory conditions and small numbers of surviving cells not reproduce, HeLa cells which were taken by an African American woman called Henrietta Lacks, can reproduce infinitively. Scientists estimated that for nearly 60 years, they could weigh 50 million tons if all of the HeLa cells that been used piled up, they could circle the earth at least three times.         I think the HeLa holiday should be celebra...
