MY LIFE IN THE USA

『I’m so happy that I can be an exchange student.』 This is what I want to say now. Everyone know that we went to LA for 2 weeks, and we had lots of fun there.When we have to leave, my friends cried. We don’t want to go to other place by ourself, cause we were afraid many things. They thought that I didn’t cry, but I did. I cried at the airport, because I didn’t want to leave my friends and I miss my mom and my English was really really bad. So I called my mom, but she said 『You have to learn and don’t be afraid and… this is what you want, isn’t it?』 And I though for a while, then I stop crying. Because this is my choice and I want to come here to be an exchange student.After I arrived Tulsa, I was nervous. My host family is here and I’m going to their house. They said it’s 『awesome』 to go to Oklahoma….. that made me afraidThe first thing I had thought was they are not nice, but I was wrong.They bought me a bear with a rose:DI was so happy and surprised. They are nice!They also put a computer in my room and the bad thing is I use it all the time (ha ha)…But they are still nice:D Sometimes I made my host mom mad, I don’t know why she’s mad at me sometimes, but after that, we just talk and everything go back to usual.
I also had Christmas day with them!
It was awesome! I got lots of presents, and we really had fun!!My best friend- Megan also gave me a sheep, that’s soooo soft and cute!Megan and I had 3 classes together. She is very nice and we also hang out together!We went to the movie together (Twilight), and it was really awesome!I had good time there but the sad thing is I have to leave.She said when she heard that I’m going to leave, she cried, and I was surprised that she cried!And she also had dinner with us the day before I leave. I’m so happy that I have a friend like this.My host sister- Ashley made me a picture, and I put it beside my bed:DI really had fun with Ashley and Megan, they are so nice and I’m so happy to have them! Now, I’m in my new host family.My new host family is soooo cool, and they are nice, too!(Actually I cried at night after I got here. I missed my 1st host family!)My 2nd home is big and they have a pool and they can play baseball and basketball outside the house!We did many things and I play with the kids many times and they are soooo cute lol I have a lot of fun here, we also go to the church every Wednesday and Sunday.I play with the kids at the church, too, and they are soooo funny:D It was nervous to go to the school…..Cause this school is big, and they have many students inside!But it is fine and I also have fun now!I have some friends and they are from Laos! (cool)They are nice and they are fun!They also took me to the winter formal on 2/21.I didn’t want to go because I don’t know how to dance and I don’t like dresses…But I’m glad that I did go!It was so fun and cool.My friends Katy and Nikki did my head (my hair and my face)! After they finished my head, it didn’t looks like me!pic_2448.JPG

 Last time, I made Taiwan’s food for my host mom, and she said it’s delicious (ha ha)I also made eggs, but it was not really good, so I just kept cooking it, and never it them again… When I was at Bartlesville, all my classes were very very easy, Physical Science, Art, Chinese, Algebra 1, PE, and English I. I had almost had straight A, but I got a B on my English. I didn’t want to have really hard classes, because I thought I’m coming just for English, not for other grades, they are not important, but I don’t want to have a C or a D on my grade list, so I just chose the easy ones.  I was wrong. I was wasting my time, and I shouldn’t do that. The good thing is I can start again! Because I have to change school, and I can choose some other classes.( But I didn’t get to choose my classes.)  Now, I have lots of homework, and some of my classes are not that easy. Biology, Career, Computers, English, Algebra II, and Pre AP World History. I really appreciate my host mom. I’m not good at history and I don’t like history, but my host mom will help me, and make me understand it, but I still have a C…… But I feel good! It’s not because I got a C, it’s because I have some hard classes! It let me feel like I’m not wasting my time, and I have things to do!pic_2351.JPG

 I’m really happy that I can come here and be an exchange student and me tmany different people and learn things from them. And I really appreciate these people, and I want to say thank you to you.Thank you, mom and dad. Thank you for let me coming here.Thank you, Ayusa. Thank you for having this program and give me chance to come here.Thank you, my 1sy host family (Mark, Pamm, and Ashley). Thank you for let me live in your house and let me had lots of fun there. Thank you, Megan. Thank you for being my friend! I’m really happy to have you!Thank you, my 2nd host family (Gary, Donna, Kim). Thank you for taking me to your house that I don’t have to go bacj to Taiwan, and thank you for the birthday party! I’m really happy to have you to be my host family. I have lots of fun with you and the kids!(they are so cute!!)Thank you, my CR Shirley and your daughter, Sarah. Thank you for everything you did for me, and I really have fun with Sarah when I went to her house! And thank you for finding my host family for me, and I really like them! Thank you, all of my friends at Owasso mid high school. I’m really happy to have all of you! And I really have fun with you! I really learned a lot of things, don’t waste our time, appreciate people, stop complaining because I do things wrong too………. And finally, I want to say:I LOVE AMERICA, I LOVE OKLAHOMA!!!

新體驗-幼稚園帶小孩

我們學校就快要結束第二個學期了,很多科目都開始要做大的project了,每天都很累,當然也有開心的事,由於這個學期我多了一堂空的課,於是跟我的counselor商量了之後,決定那一節課就到學校的幼稚園去帶小孩子;很多的朋友都說:“來到美國應該去嘗試更多有趣的課阿!爲什麽要去帶小孩?” 也許剛開始會很辛苦,因爲才3 4嵗的小孩不僅不懂得禮貌,説不定有些還會直接尿褲子,到時候要處理會很麻煩,帶著種種不安開始了我的幼稚園實老師3個月               

剛開始小孩子一看到我們都嚇死了,身高差了那麽大一截,我們這些實習老師要費盡心思的吸引小孩,並且要很有耐心的教他們什麽是禮貌,什麽是有秩序的排隊,甚至要交他們字母怎麽寫,怎麽念;剛開始的那1個月真的是很沮喪也很沒耐心的再帶小孩,一下子玩這個一下子又不玩了,整節課我都在收玩具又拿玩具中度過整個很想要放棄。結果負責的老師告訴我們,帶小孩就是這麽辛苦,這個時候我們才會發現其實最辛苦的還是媽媽,帶小孩的重擔全部都被媽媽扛起來了,所以身為孩子的我們,更應該要努力!                

3個月的努力,感覺自己變得更有耐心了! 不會再因爲小孩不聽話而影響心情,而是教他們正確的做法應該是怎麽樣! 嘗試用各種方式吸引小孩,其實不難!!!小孩子都是一樣可愛,一樣天真的!!!!!下面這張是我跟我帶的幾個小孩子的照片,大家一看到相機就吵著要玩,還喜歡做鬼臉!!!

    美國生活多彩多姿,學校的課程也讓我學到很多,尤其是這個,當老師也是一種工作,在上高中的臺灣小孩都不會有機會嘗試到不同于高中生的體驗;實習老師的工作就像是現在社會上的工作一樣,不准遲到,穿衣服要符合幼稚園的規定(於是我都穿學校的衣服…) ,説話要有禮貌,也就是管好自己

        總之,在美國的六個月讓我又成長了很多!美國生活真得很棒!!
