This Friday night, we had a celebration about Martin Luther King Day and the Voices of Unity Choir was there too. I had really good time there not only because getting to know more about the meaning and effects of Martin Luther King's life in young generations but also I learned to accomplish my own life's true value.
At the very beginning, my friends and I were really surprised about the beautiful and well done music from the Voices of Unity Choir. They did a great job of giving an awesome performance of showing children's gift about singing.
After then, one of my friend, Cloe, she gave a speech about her experience since she joined MSO which is multi-culture Student Organization has an amazing influence on students' life on campus.
After speeches, there is a DV show about students, staff and faculty's ideas about the reasons about why Martin Luther King's life still matters today. I agree with how his spirit had the power on young people's dreams and encourage them to make them come true. Moreover, the true value of his life has given me a hint to think about life. It doesn't really matter how big your dream and passion are but it matters what are you doing a day.
This week is black education week which is a great opportunity for me to know more about American history.

Snow Day No School Day and Chinese New Year's Eve
This is an amazing gift for us that we don't have school today to celebrate Chinese New Year.
I just had enough time to talk to my family- my mum, my dad, my cousins and my aunts. It is so good that I could see them and heard they had delicious food. I wish everyone has a happy new year.

Chicago Trip - China Town
Chinese New Year is coming soon, ISA had prepared a trip to Chicago China town this weekend. We had so much fun this time, we had real Chinese food and drinks, visited all kinds of stores in China town and we sang karaoke.It was an amazing trip to celebrate Chinese New Year.
On Saturday morning, we got up so early like 6 am and got ready to take a train to Chicago. We made it to Waterloo train station. Luckily, the train came on time and we all got on the train. On the way to Chicago, it was a so interesting trip. Guys were watching their Chinese movies and Mengting and I were watching the passing by beautiful views. It was so quiet and beautiful outside the train. Sherard who is from Bahamas has been hanging out with us all the time and we were just keeping teaching him how to speak Chinese and Chinese culture. He had so much fun to get access to a totally new and different culture.
Three hours later, we made it Chicago and it was not that cold and windy as I thought. We took subways to China town was so convenient transportation. When four of us just got China town, we were super excited to see Chinese characters, Oriental markets, restaurants everywhere. We were automatically start talking in Chinese.It was a very happy and busy town. A lot of people came for Chinese New Year which we called Spring Festival in China. Everyplace was crowed with people not only Asians but also some Americans. Red festival decorations were pasted or hanged everywhere.
We couldn't wait and went into a busy and famous restaurant. After we sat down and started eating Chinese food, I was about to cry. It has been a long time no eating such kind of delicious food. We had very good conversations together. And everyone all felt like missing home cook more.
Anyway, China town is a very good place for us to go at this special time in a year. I wish everyone has a very happy and good new year.

New Year New Semester and New start
I am so excited about coming back to school to see all the friends and study new things.
Last night, it was bingo night. I went bingo even though I didn't win anything I still had a lot of fun to play bingo with friends together. It was so much fun about hearing people screaming about "bingo" and running for their prises.
Today is the first day of school, we had a big snow today however, I am so happy sitting in classroom to learn something.I got to motivate myself keep working hard to achieve whatever I want from this semester.
Tonight, we had Tuesday night worship. Travis talked about giving and taking. I am so thankful for those friendly families whomever have given homes for us.
By this new year and new semester, I wish I could have whatever I wanted got done and happy new year!
