yayy! USA! MY HOME! : P - - May 01

If I ever go to USA, I hope to visit ... ???
Well, I would actually like to visit so many different places all over USA! HEHE! I hope to visit Disneyland again because every year, my aunt will bring my sister, my cousin and I to the Disneyland in California. I went there for about 10 times already and I have ALWAYS enjoyed playing on so many different rides! It's just a great place for me to relax and SCREAM! I LOVE DISNEYLAND and I hope to go there this summer! The second place I hope to visit is Yosemite National Park at San Francisco again too! Because Yosemite has crispy fresh air, tall green trees, and so many wild life! Listening to the Yosemite Fall splashing the water is just so enjoyable. I would also want to vist the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) because it's MY DREAM SCHOOL! I really hope in the future I would be able to get into this university even though I know I have to work very hard for it. OH! I forgot another place - The Huntington Library! The environment there is MARVELOUS because it has gardens, art works, statues and so many other fascinating things that we could learn there! : P

My UNFORGETTABLE WEEKEND!

I had a great time during this weekend. I stayed at home the whole weekend however I watched something that really surprises me on youtube. Since we are now reading the play about the Diary of Anne Frank, I decided to watch the movie. The scenes of them suffering is sooo not imaginable and you can't just use words to describe the misery. Before, I remember mr.mcdonnell telling us about how harsh and cruel the Nazis German soldiers were, but the only thing i knew that time was just simply scary, miserable, painful and harsh. But I never get to really feel how bad they're suffering and feeling. Now, I realize the ugliness! Whenever someone dies, people nearby sleeping would get up and take off clothes of the dead person to keep themselves warm. They have no food, no bed, no clothes and nothing to stop the disease to spread. I really can't imagine how painful it would be for me if I needed to suffer this kind of ____. (i really can't express it just with words)

Learn EXCEL quicker ! LET'sGO : ) 4/29/09

I will learn excel quicker, if I do more practice that relates it in real life. This can tell us that when can we really use excel in a proper and practical way and not just doing lessons. My father ALWAYS uses excel and I never see him using Microsoft Word. He is really good in using excel and he uses it to make charts of chemical reactions and calculate the numbers and sometimes he even teaches me. Another way to learn excel quicker would be playing games and memorzing the terms and different functions just like what mr.marcon tells us to do. These are all really practical ways for students to get used to use Excel.

Apr 24 $$1000000$$ - - - MONEY !

If I had a $1000000, I would ...
Hmm... I think it would surely be IMPOSSIBLE for me to get sooo much money. However, if God loved me so much and gave me those money, I would use it to do several things. First, I'll donate some of it to elders and disable kids. Secondly, I'll give half or more of it to my parents because they really did work very very hard to pay for my school tuition which is very expensive. My father have to earn extra working hours everyday in order to have enough money to pay for both my sisters and my school tuition and daily needs. So, I think it would be time for me to repay the care and love I received from them. The rest of them will be MINE! HAHA!!! I would use it to buy beautiful things for myself and also my mother since she really likes expensive bags and wallet. I will also use it to buy my own needs for example pretty clothings or shoes. Sighh... unfortunately, these things won't be able to come true : (

yayy! EARTH DAYY

But, what's so special about Earth day?
I personally think that Earth day is everyday in our daily lives. Earth day shouldn't be the only day that we save energy or do some practical environmental friendly activities. April 22, 1970, was chosen for the first Earth Day because it was on a Wednesday, which is said to be the best part of the week to encourage large turnout for environmental rallies held across nations globally. Currently, Earth Day is celebrated every year by more than a billion people in 180 nations around the world. A few main actions should be taken 0n Earth day according to the Earth Day Network - help create a billion acts of green, make the no coal call, and help bring healthy food to our own schools. Together, today people should become an Earth WARRIOR instead of an environmentalist.

TAIMUN VII - - - What I learned ?

What I learned from having MUN here was...
My only comment for MUN this year is AWESOME ! I learned so much knowledge from TAIMUN! I learned how to not be nervous when standing on the stage, speak confidently and debate skillfully. I learned how to be socialable and interact with other people in my committee. I am very proud of myself because I started to realize how it feels to become a strong delegate. I just wish TAIMUN here in our school could last forever and being in the environment committee with Carol Lin as our chair is just tooo perfect! This experience will be unforgettable and I feel very great being a prepared delegate. Not only did a few clauses from my resolution got submitted into the merged resolution, the main submitter even yield the floor to me. TAIMUN VII is SUPER AMAZING! Unfortunately its OVER : (

April 14 - - - GLOBAL STUDENT >??

I think I am a global student because ...
Well, everyone can become a global student in many different ways. I personally think I am a global student because I learn other languages from different countries and cultures, so I would be able to understand their own unique style of living. I also think that I am not completely a global citizen because I have only been to places and schools in Taiwan to help disabled kids or company with seniors. Everone in this school are global citizens because they learn other cultures and history of all countries around the world from the teachers and not just their own country. The last point about being a global student is to RESPECT other people's own culture, religion or race.

April 10 - - - SHORT CLASSS

I prefer 90 mintues classes ...
It is because that if we have shorter class time that would mean we will have more classes and if we have more classes, students will need to bring more books to school. This could become annoying so I will prefer 90 minutes per classes by concentrating on only four classes a day instead of 8 classes per day with 45 minutes. Plus, students won't be able to fully concentrate on their classwork in the short 45 mintues. I believe students will be able to calm down and start focusing in a longer time.

April 08 - - - Make a Difference!

I could make a difference in reaching the UN goal of _______________ by ________ ???
Well, I think I could make a difference in reaching the UN goal of ensure environmental sustainability by doing several activities to help our mother planet Earth. We can create a club to make speeches around the world. This could make some difference by telling people and spreading ideas about saving our environment. I will tell them that we have only one planet and that's Earth, if we destroy it, there will be no chances at all for humans to avoid the threat of facing extinction. I will also recommend school to have classes talking about our environment ensuring the sustainability. Saying it seems to be very easy but actually doing it will be a challenge. So, I'll start doing community service to protect our nature and I'm sure its worth it.

the UN EIGHT GOALS - - - APRIL 6

The eight goals are :

1. Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger
2. Achieve Universal Primary Education
3. Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
4. Reduce Child Mortality
5. Improve Maternal Health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other Diseases
7. Ensure Environmental Sustainability
8. Develop a Global Partnership for Development

The goal I would like to work on is ensure environmental sustainability. The reason is because if our Earth really got destroyed then there won't be anyways to save it. So, I think its better to start making our planet a healthier place.

BACK from HOLIDAY! - - - April 02

It was a ______ holiday! because ...
I think it was a MARVELOUS holiday. I did not go anywhere except for my Taipei house. I went visiting my grandma in the hospital and she's been doing fine however the doctors are still looking after her carefully. At Taipei, the weather was not so good with some rain but we still had some fun. We went making Brittle Plums but these Taiwan plums look different because it's way smaller and it has a color of apple green. It was a special but tiring experience! When we arrive to Taichung, I knew rest of my holiday would be boring because I have no where to go. Fortunately, my mom took us to shopping and afterwards we went swimming. My sister also baked some delicious cookies and carrot & bannana cakes HERSELF, WITH NO HELP! IT WAS VERY VERY GOOOOD! During this spring break, the happieset event I did was volunteering. I went to a school for blind kids and I get to help out. I played with them, sang with them, communicate, interact, taught them math, had ceramic classes with them! Everything I did with them was very very fun because I learned so many things. People might think those blind disabled kids are disgusting but I don't think so because some of them are very very cute! Eventhough some kids had autism and some can't talk, I feel very happy spending time with them.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to accomplish everything on my list that I was planning to do.
But I did go exercising, because on the first week, I went running at a very big park near my house and I also went biking.
