10 Thankful things

There are a lot of things that I thankful for that I even cannot count them all. And I am going to talk about 10 thankful things. First of all, the thing that I am thankful for and which is the most important thing for me that is my family. Especially my parents. Because they are the people who gave birth to me and raised me, and provided me such a good environment as possible as they can. And I am appreciate the things that my parents, my family have done for me so far, and I want to tell them all of these I will remember by my heart. And I really want to requite the love of parents for their raising in some ways in the future.

Another thing that I am thankful for is soccer, because it really let me tasted the passion and the feeling of being as a team together with my teammates. If I could, I would like to spend most of the my time on the playing soccer on the field. And I am appreciate that I know how to play the soccer. The third thing that I am thankful for is school, the school provide me such an abundant of opportunities to learn things that are all useful for me future life, and the school also teach me how to be a man, a human. The fourth thing that I am thankful for is my country, my country provided us lots of great policies which made people live better, and I am really proud of myself as a Chinese. The fifth thing that I am thankful for is all of my friends,I want to say to them that  "I am appreciate that I have met all of you during my lifetime and it really good to be friend with all of you" The sixth thing that I am thankful for is all of my teachers, without them I figure out the way how to learn effectively, and I am thankful for your help and patience. The seventh things that I am thankful for is music, they really suppress myself when I am in bad mood or when I feel sick. The Eighth thing that I am thankful is traveling, which expanded mt horizon and made me know more about this world. The ninth thing that I am thankful for is the god, that you are the one who created us and gave us food, I am really thankful of what you have done for us. Finally, the last thing that I am thankful for is books that when I feel like bored or anxious that reading can calm me down and make me feel like I am in the Nirvana when I am reading the most interesting part.

Fall break

The first quarter was over and it means I gotta prepare for the second quarter whatever on study or sport. I still have three more football games left and it means I have three more weeks for practice. I have been working out during the fall break and which really made myself a better physical condition , because I really want to have more time plaon the field and do something that is meaningful for the team instead of sitting on the bench being a burden of the team. I have tried the feeling of being a substitution before when the first year I played in the soccer team, when the team is loosing, we cannot do anything because we are not as good as the players who played on the field and which made me feel myself so useless, I cannot endure myself to be an useless player of the team. So I have put lots of works during fall break. Actually, I just did work out, played the guitar and played the video games with Leo. By the way Miss Wang took me, Iris and Leo to the Avenue and we've got a nice haircut there. I hope everything will get better in the coming up second quarter.

week 5

Week 5

This is my 5^th school week, although the weather is getting better and there is no more thunder storms, everything seems to be really nice. But I just have the bad mood all the time and I even start feel tired sometimes, I just feel like I don’t have enough energy to do all the stuff . I want to play soccer every day, but I have tons of homework are waiting for me and I gotta prepare for the test to make sure get a good grade on them.

Anyway, sometime I just want to leave myself alone to get rid of the noises to be myself and think about what I‘ve done during these times. Sometimes, I feel tired of everything and I just want to sitting on the bench like an old man looking around and wonder how is my life so far. I am not dissatisfy about my life, I just want to take a rest and think about what should I do and what do I want. As long as I find out something which is or will belong to me, I will go for it and I will ignore other things. As the songs said, I just wanna run’ hide it away, run before they chasing me down and ignore the whole world, live in a lonely island.

To Ponyboy

Dear Ponyboy,

I heard about that you dismissed the Soc's problems as being confined to " good grades, good cars, good girls, madras, Mustang and Corvairs." I know maybe you are jealous about our life because of your current situation is pathetic and poor that you lost your parents and only can live in a poor environment with your two brothers.  But, let me tell you something, our life is not even easy than yours. Do you really think that we have all these luxurious stuffs or expensive cars and we should be happy and satisfied? No we don't, although we have these but we all lost our soul that sometimes we can't truly feel the world, we lost a kind of feeling that you have. We don't exactly know what we should do, we just do the things that parents want us to do and pretend to be really enjoy it, we don't know what we exactly want and what 's our dream. We've lost a kind of love that your brothers give you. If our life are aimless with no goal and have nothing to pursue, then what is the meaning to live in this world. We can't feel the world because our vision have covered up  by the evil humanities and what we can see is just darkness.

I hope you can understand us

Sincerely yours,

Calvin Chen

The third week of school

                                        The third week of school 

With the times elapsing, I have already been study in Webb for almost 3 weeks which make me exclaim that " how could the times passing so quickly". In the passed two weeks we had selected our club, afternoon enrichment and even started to doing the sports during afternoon. Surprisingly, I chose football for the sport which I have no clue about the rules at all, but I still chose this sport. Because I think there must be some reason why football is so popular in US, and I want to figure it out by my own (my own experience )that is to participate in the football team. In these two weeks, I felt the pressure from school including the a ton of homework, quizzes and especially is the tiredness ( comes from the sports) which sometimes made me feel sleepy during classes. I think I should make myself a study plan to deal with these problems. I hope I can adjust myself to a better condition whatever in study or doing sports.

The first week of the school

The first week in campus was kind of  like exiting,  I came in to a new environment new classmate and for me the biggest change is live in campus as a boarding student that I never been before (Except the summer camp). Studying as a boarding student means I have to take care of myself , I must be independent that making my daily time to be well organized, so it is kind of like a big challenge for me. Although I seem to be like well adapt in the school for the first couple days whatever making friends or getting known with teachers ( because I always play soccer with others that make me feel so good). However, the language issue still can make me feel confused sometimes for example , when we went to the chample for some announcement that some of them I couldn't understand perfectly and which could also possibly mislead my thought. Anyway, I can get used to these kind of issue after several days or weeks, I have that confidence. Lastly, everything is fine and I will work on every single subjects harder.
