When I was walking along the street in Boston, there were many people stood around. I was wondering why there were so many people, so I got closer to see what was happening. There was a travelling artist sitting on the ground. The paintings in his hands attracted my sight view. It was fabulous. I couldn’t believe my eyes that he can create such an amazing picture by using only just few colors (4-5colors). He is sophisticated that every people who walked by was impressed by his painting. He uses colors so well to express the artistic conception. I stopped moving on and gazed at his creation. His painting are about some  mysterious wonderlands or animals. These animals under his painting bush are vivid. My friend bought one of his creations.

   I still remember the last time I went to the main square in Boston. A middle-age man was standing in the middle of the square and was playing the sax. His voice from the sax spread into the air. It seemed like the city full of his beautiful musical note. I didn’t pay enough attention to him but my friend did. He noticed that the man had already played for nearly 8 hours in that day. I was shocked by his words. My friend appreciated his persistence and gave him some changes. Although it was just a little money but it is the affirmation from us. He saw my friend put one dollar on his sax case. He suspended his playing for a second and thanked him.

   I was so shocked by these people. They beg without losing their dignity.  Unlike the people who wrote: ”seek for humanity” and expect people to give them money for nothing. They use their talent and persistence to make the citizen moved.

 It was the second day after I arrived Shanghai. We all know the flight from American to Shanghai is long enough for us to think about life, goals and love. Also, the flight took away so much sadness and left the expectations. At the moment that the plane touched the ground, I couldn’t wait to meet my friends and family.

  Everyone seems dying in such a hot and miserable weather. I went our with SUIS classmate- Wendy. I left my apartment little bit later than I supposed. When I stood on the road, I even didn’t know where to go. I took out my phone from the pocket and search the map. A stranger came closer to me and asked for the road. He had a emergency so I lent my phone to him. After the stranger had gone, I glanced my watch and took a taxi hurriedly. Fortunately, I didn’t meet any heavy traffic jam and got to the mall on time. Wendy hadn’t arrived, she said she took the wrong subway. After a quiet long wait, she got to there. We had a nice lunch. It was Korean food. Then we went to have some delicious desserts. I heard that dessert won the first prize in food competition. After we tasted it, I thought It worth that prize. It was Fantastic. Also, it's so pleased to have some iced d

 

 That was the last afternoon I spent in Cushing. After we had our lunch, we gathered in the meeting room and wait for the last impressive assembly. It was about the entire life in Cushing. Those videos recalled our amazing memory. Personally, my favorite part of Cushing is the food, especially the lunch on every Friday. That was gorgeous. We called that “Crazy Friday”. I imagine that the chef was out of his mind on that day. We had the tasty and classic food from all over the world.

  After the ending of the assembly, we had some extra time. As usual, I went to the library with one of my friends. It was nearly empty there. So I changed my destination. I went down town. My friend raised a good point. That was to record a video of our summer life in Cushing. I deeply accepted this idea. We decide to start the video at the main academic building. The video includes the path we always walk, the unforgettable places, friends and love. We record some funny faces and conversations in the video. We were walking to the ice-cream shop while the video was recording. It was the last time in this summer to go to the great ice-cream shop. It has a variety of favor but I only tried a few. The owner of the shop said “Oreo Cookie” ice-reams were sold out. What a pity!! Finally, I got a mint Oreo Cookie. It doesn’t taste as good as my favorite favor, but it’s not bad. When we backed to the school, it was raining. It liked the tears in our hearts. We didn’t want to leave this place, these people and some memory.

 

I chose a fresh course in the afternoon at summer school. That was tennis. Literally, I never held the tennis racket to play it before I came towards to the tennis court.  As one of the beginners in tennis class, my tennis coaches need to train us differently because we have to learn the basic skills in tennis. Our coach paid plenty of time and attention to us. He coached us how to hit the ball using forehand and backhand with great patience. Each time, I hit the ball. He watched it carefully. Each movement and action I made, he would point out the weakness and helped me to fix it. Because I’m a freshman in tennis, most of the period of time I couldn’t hit the ball perfectly. He has never complained about it and usually gave us enough confidence. He encouraged me to do it better. He can see my tiny mistake and told me how to correct it personally. Moreover, he saw every progress I made in learning tennis and helped me to improve my skills constantly. He was a professional tennis player. He plays tennis sophisticatedly. Not only because he was born in a “Tennis Players” family，but his insistency and his sweat that have been spent on this kind of sport. At the last tennis class I had in Cushing, he wrote ”You are the best tennis player ”. I was pretty impressed. I appreciate his talent in playing tennis. More important, I appreciate his kindness and the strength and spirit that he had hand on to his students. The sadness broke into my heart when I left the tennis court. The sunlight was dazzling that I even couldn’t open my eye when I played tennis at the court on hill. I love this place. We had fun at this place. We sweated. We complained the hot weather. We discuss about the life and story in Cushing. We share our feelings. We made friends. We competed. We made tiny little progress together. I will cherish these unique memories and miss our respectful coaches and My two good friends that I met them in tennis court. They are Karen and Nico. Most of the time, we played tennis together. Nico tried to play terminals. I was shocked by her courage. Karen persists practicing her playing skills. She worked quiet hard. I hope they will be great tennis player in the future. After each tennis finished, Karen and l would say goodbye to coach and walked across the grass and climbed down the hill. We chatted when we backed to the dorm.

   I love tennis court. Not because we can practice and watches stunning tennis competition. Because the unforgettable friends and partners, the patient and knowledgeable coaches, and also the fantastic days we spent here. Inspire the annoying weather and strong sunshine, i couldn’t stop loving this place.

 

 Today was pretty special for us. It was the last day we were at Cushing Academy. It was a little bit sentimental. We are going to be on the plane alone to back to our own native country tomorrow. It was unbelievable that we have already spent 5 week sitting in the same class, studying together and having fun together. We ended our class at 10a.m after our teacher returned our final exam papers and essay. Then we watched movie with the students from ESL level 7(Level 7 has the same content as level 8). The movie was <Hunger game>. Although I have already watched this movie, it was pretty amazing to watch it again. Also, our teacher prepared plenty of snacks and drinks for us in the next classroom. We can get whenever we want unless they have all gone. I sent a few card to my best friends and tell them how important they are for me. We left some words on others’ notebook and signed our signature. I was so fortunately to be their classmate. They are the most kind and enthusiastic classmates I never have. Our class is united. After that, we had a brain storm. Finally, the cruel and miserable reality was waiting for us. We have to say farewell no matter how much we don’t want to be apart and back to each corner in the world. But we belong to the places where we come from. I will miss them.

 

 Target was the first place I went to today. I love the market more than Wal-mart and some markets. It is huge and contains various stuffs. I bought hot dog for lunch and then rushed back to my school to prepare for the prom. My school held a cruise prom today. Some girls yelled at the driver to drive swift to leave them more time to make-up and dress up. I backed to dorm and put on the make up. Few minutes later, I wear my formal outfit, perfume, high -heel appropriately and then made a phone call to my date. As usual, we signed in and got on the bus. We got to ferry terminal in Boston. It was pretty freezing. We finally got on the cruise. The cruise is not enormous as I expect, but it is enough to carry the entire population of my school. The cruise has five floors. The two upper floors are for sightseeing. The other floors are for dance and dinner. I love to see the perfect night view of Boston with my best friends. Also, I took some photos with friends who come from other countries such as Germany, French, Brazil, Venezuela and etc. When I was stepping on the floor to the top floor, someone told me a guy fell down. I thought he fell down into the cold sea. But the truth is that he took some drunk and fainted on the floor. We had a perfect night in Boston. This city left me too much unforgettable memory. I found that I was in love with this city. I love here. I love the place where has made me grow up.

 

We had a talent show today. It was fabulous that a lot of schoolmates join in the show. It includes dance, sing, opera, playing musical instrument, and etc. The performance that was given by teachers was entertaining and amazing. They combined the dance and pop song. A Japanese girl was sitting behind the magnificent piano and was playing a beautiful song. Everyone was gazing at her and revel in her song. My friend participated in the opera. She was too nervous because it was her first time to stand on a huge stage giving performance to hundreds of schoolmates who came from every corner in the world. Her body was shaking before the beginning of the talent show. She acted as a businesswoman who was waiting for the boarding in the airport. I encouraged her to be calm and confident. Finally, she acted successfully in the performance. I was proud of her and gave her a big round of applause. Also, we watched a film that made by the students who join in the film club. It was interesting and impressive. The girl who played tennis with me sings a beautiful song. Her beauty voice shocked me. It was a unforgettable night.

 

 About: how I feel about the last four weeks.

   Literally, I have no idea that I have been stayed in MA for 4 weeks. After spend the coming week, I should go back to my city-Shanghai. At this time, I couldn’t imagine one specific word to describe my present feelings. Maybe the only word I can use is speechless. In the past four weeks, I tried a lot of new thing and challenged myself. I came here alone and been away from my parents. If I were the person who I was, I might think I’m crazy enough. I admit that take the 20hours flight by myself (first +connecting flight) is super-lonely. I had no friend to accompany me when I was on flight though I made quiet a lot of friends in airport, school and parties in America. I will miss my friends from every corner in the world. I will miss the day I spent in here. I will miss the experience and new thing I have tried here.

   The main reason I don’t want to come back to Shanghai is….You know what. I totally don’t want to stay at such a hot and moist place. I heard that the weather in Shanghai is horrible. It’s about 40 degree. It’s three times as the temperature here. I don’t want to melt in shanghai. The weather between Shanghai and here has huge difference. I love where I stay now.
