Thanksgiving day

I have never experienced the Thanksgiving Day. Fortunately, this is my first time to celebrate this fantastic festival with my friends. I cooked Chinese food for my friends and they roasted a turkey for me. It could be good memory I would never forget.The following picture is the hotpot from my city.

After that yummy dinner, we went to Palm Spring which has a big mall—Dessert Hills. Without surprising, there were so many people there for shipping and most of them were Asians. My friends told me that shopping was the important thing in Thanksgiving Day.

We don’t have Thanksgiving Day, but I think it seems like mid-noon festival in China. We celebrate it with family as usual. And every shop has discount. It’s kind of right time to go shopping.

I went to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon with my boyfriend. Actually I have been there twice. However, it is true that going with different people with different feelings. Las Vegas is good place for travelling with your lover. I guess that’s why so many people from other countries get marry there. At that time, I just want to say that we should cherish the present, cherish what we own now and we’ll feel thankful and joyful. Indeed, I’m so appreciate everything I have.

No matter you have staycation or vacation in Thanksgiving Day. No matter you celebrate Thanksgiving Day with your family or travel with your friend. You would always feel something makes you changeable in these days. That means what you experienced is the most value thing in your life. Therefore, be thankful because everything is like gifts whoever gives you.

  Generally, we often admire someone we'll never be.

  The one I admire is the mother who is the greatest one in the world. I learned a lot from my mother who was the single mother since i was 2 years old. I still remember what she taught to me-the faith, the brave, the hope which make me always be optimistic. "When you conquered this difficulty and looked back, everything just was a piece of cake." she said. Until now, when i face with troubles, i try to solve all of the problems all the way.

  One day, when i was still a student of high school, one of my classmates suffered cancer. That was my first time that seeing death is so close to me.  My school called for donation for him. At that time, i felt so sad for him and i was backing home to tell my mom. She just told me," life is like this. There is plenty of tragedies and comedies. But we should try our best to make it colorful." Thus,I started to enjoy the life as possible as I can.

 I admire my mother not only because she adopted me for 20 years but also I always achieve something I can't learn from books.

DREAM

    I wanna talk about the dream. In this world, not everyone has the dreams. someone wants to be a doctor, a lawyer, a pilot. But others never realize what should do with the half of life passed.
   To think who will we be is an very important question. I had a best friend whose name was Emma, she was soooo beautiful, like a super star. We kept in touch everyday and we often shared secrets each other. Her dream actually was to be super model and another one is to marry a good guy(this is actually the dream of everyone)--normal dream doesn't mean it is not worth concerning. Making the dream come ture is not an easy thing for everyone, so does she. She made up and dressed everyday and go out to have parties and dinner. Even though she was allergic to those social duties, she didn't want to miss every chance to be famous. At the end of this story she haven't become a super star and surprisingly she married a man who is older as much as 20 years than her. I wanna say there are so many ways to realize the dream but this is the worst way. She has never contacted me since she got married. I dont know much about her life now but maybe she found a new dream after the disappointment of not being superstar.
    Exactly, simple life is the most difficult dream to come ture. Sometimes people have enough money and high-quality life,to be honest,they still want more.  The more is not about wealth,they really want something simple--never be afraid that somebody would kidnap them or murder them in order to steal their property. Majority of human beings hope that they can get marry with the right one and build a family and take good care of children,that's their dream. Sometimes,dream doesnt mean the greater one.
    My suggestion is that do whatever you want before you feel regret. You are still young . Looking after dream is never too late. Take actions!

my childhood

     One time I was home alone when I was six years old. I asked my friend who lived next door and at my same age to come over my apartment to play. But at the end we made a mess out of it and broke a vase. My mother found that out when she came home.Before her arrival,I have my friend back to her apartment and I took all the blame eventually.

     After this incident,I think I shouldn't asked my friend to come over ever again.My mother will worried about my safety . Now I feel regret after remembering this for making a mess for my mother.

who's STEPHANIE

       My name is Stephanie yang. I'm from China. I was a part-time dance teacher in china. I danced hip-hop style before. And LA style is a kind of hiphop, the people who are in LA created it. I want to learn more about it and i need something real and pure about LA style. that's just one of the reason I decided to go to US.
       I'm so interested in culture diversity. Actually the people who are from different country gathered here with their own culture. Even though practicing good English is the one problem, learning how to make friends with them is the most important thing i want to do.
       I have worked for 2 years in Dell company in china. My job was related to computer science,but now my major would be economics after i graduate from ALP. Business is good thing as my major in college was international economics and trade.but  i plan to change my master major into information system which is combining business with computer science.
      I'm afraid of talking to sb in English because i haven't talked in English for 2 years.So opening my mouth  is a big thing for me. Actually I'm not a shy girl, but it's difficult for me to show my sense of humor. I guess I can do well in the future with the practice everyday.
