1月31日 From the headacheI got headache on the train on my way home tonight. Looking at the couple holding each other in front of me, I couldn't stop thinking if only there was one I really trust that I could put my head on his shoulder and just feel relaxed and safe...
One of my friends asked me: "Do you know why there are so many people taking train to go to work in Chicago? You know they need to get up very early and it is very tiring." I said no. Then he told me it is for their families. It is very expensive to have a house or an apartment in the good areas in Chicago, and the schools are not that good in the poor areas. Being parents, they would rather commute everyday to give their kids good education and living environment.
Cheers! For the love of all the parents! 1月14日 Some thinking after watching an adoption videoI just read a news about adoption between America and Ukraine. These is a "Seasonal Hosting Program" which gives orphan from the developing countries a chance to spend Christmas with the American families for about two weeks. For the orphans, it is an amazing oppotunity to see the world. However, if the American families want to adopt the ophan from Ukraine, they have to wait for about 14 monthes to get all the paperwork done. The worse part is, even if they fall in love with the children they host, they could not adopt them. Ukraine prohibits pre-selecting a child for adoption. The law meant to give all the children a fair chance for finding parents. It is illegal for a family to adopt a child after they have hosted them. A sad policy for some of the children! When I saw the faces of the orphan in the video, I could not stop thinking about the life after they go back to Ukraine. I really wish they can live happily-ever-after with the host family.
But Reality is Reality!
It also reminds me of the people who are adopting Chinese orphans. I just heared another family in Indiana adopted a little boy from China several monthes ago. I know how difficult it is to adopt a orphan! I really admire their courage!
Thinking about myself, I'm still fighting for my life. And I still don't know what I'm gonna do. I was thinking to do international business at first, because it is my major. Now, I always feel like "Am I really interested in doing business?" Seems not! I'm more interested in doing some sorta of Cross-Culture stuff. Especially, after I came to the America, I realize that how important to let Chinese people know what real American life looks like and also let American people know what real Chinese life looks like. Of course in my eyes. No Country is Perfect and No Country is Supremacy! Like the people in the video said there are so many orphan in the developing countries, and they are not able to help all of them, but they could help one right now. At least, they lighted ONE "Candle". I wish I could light my "candle" for the culture stuff somewhere, someday... |
