things i thanked for

Thanksgiving day is coming. As an international student, even though our country don't celebrate thanksgiving day, I still have something to be thankful to.
First, I am thankful for my parents, they send me abroad to receive higher education.
Second, I am thankful for Dr. Barger for being such a mice English teacher and Davis dorm parents. I really want to be a person like Dr. B in the future. Because she is wise and work really hard on what she loves. Sometimes I hope Dr.B can be my dorm parent for all four years in webb.
Third, I am thankful for Ms. Berzinskas for giving these nice ELL class. Although sometimes I will complain about the challenging grammar tests and I have the lowest grade on ELL among all of my grades. I know this is good for our international students to get accustomed to American education faster.
Fourth, I am thankful for Ria for being such a nice sweetmate, she is my favorite foreigner at Webb school for she is so funny. She learned Chinese as a foreign language and she has a really good pronunciation.
Fifth, I am thankful for my roommate Olivia. Although we didn't talk a lot during the school day because we have different classes, we still love each other so much.
Sixth, I am thankful for my adviser Ms. Newberg for being such a nice listener. During the first few weeks at Webb,  I was really confused, I did;t know how to manage my time and how to relax. She listened to my really carefully and gave me many useful advices.
Seventh, I am thankful for Mrs. Mullen, She taught me a lot. Not only how to play violin well, but also how to play with a group of people. Besides, I listened to the first symphony in my life last week, and luckily Mrs. Mullen played violin in this symphony! She played so well and I really enjoyed that.
Eighth, I am thankful for aunt Sofie, One of my mothers' friends who lived in America. She is the only one  who I can talk to and share my deep thought to when I was in America. When I felt really bad and stressful, I didn't want to talk to my parents for I didn't want them to feel stressful in China. Then I would call aunt Sofie and share my thought with her.
Ninth, I am thankful for the faculty member at Webb for making such nice foods

Tenth, I am most thankful to Mr. Chicken. Because I learned most in his class and he is the best teacher I have ever meet. As a freshman, I have no idea of studying history. However, Mr.Chicken taught us how to study gradually by handing off study guides and some primary source in order to help us both learn history well and learn how to study by ourselves.

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...
