Chinese Watermelon

   This week I read the story about Columbus who was a famous navigator and explorer. He was a controversial historical figure because he pend up the rise of American but he also murdered many American Indians. From his story, I learned that I can dream what I want to dream; go where I want to go; be what I want be because we only have one life and only one change to do all the things we want to do. Columbus was a charming person due to his braveness and innovative spirit. He did not have a correct and necessary map for his voyage. However, he still made the first voyage across the Atlantic.     American history is the hardest subject for me because I don’t have any background and English is not my first language. I even had the second the thought when I first looked at the textbook. From now on, I’m gonna say yes to this subject that I need to work on it. Nothing is difficult, if you put your heart into it. 

     I came to America for high school in this August and I was so nervous about my school life. Now, I wanted to write a blog for my first week of The Webb School. When I step into the school gate, I was excited and a little bit worried about the friends issue due to I was the only new international student in my grade. However, when I met my roommate Grace who was so appealing and talkative, that really helped me to relieve the pressure. About the classes, some of them were a little bit hard for me especially the history. I could understand the textbook but I couldn't understand what was the teacher talking about in the class. I would work harder and try to get higher grades. The facilities were good, the counselors were good and the teachers were good. Everything seems to be moving in the direction I want.
