Volunteering!

Waverly Road Child Care Center is a non-profit 3-star child care center located in Kingsport, Tennessee. I went in one afternoon and the director Ms. Martha had me working in the one-year-old classroom. The lead teacher Ms. Beth has been working there for nearly 30 years and she is such a wonderful teacher, she knows exactly what are the individual needs for each child and I have learned a lot from her. Their afternoon schedule is fairly simple, they would finish eating lunch around 12:15, then free play for a little bit of time while the teacher changing their diapers, the children typically take a nap around 12:45-2:45, then they got to do probably one of their favorite thing--eating snack! After that, another round of diaper changing, time was close to 4 by then, there was an fun activity before outside time! They absolutely enjoyed both the activity and the playground time.

I had such a blast with the kids.

Reece Museum

Today, I went to the Reece Museum and I invited a few of my friends to go with me as well, to be honest, I didn’t even know we have a museum on campus. It was freezing outside, we were so glad when we got inside of the museum. The museum looked so cool, I couldn’t help to take a bunch of pictures, I am not going to show all of them because like I said, I took A LOT of pictures. Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took:  It looks like my friends are having some fun there!  the native American Basketry was amazing. We all had a good time at the Reece Museum and I am so glad that i went, my friends are happy that i invited them, they said it was pretty cool to see all of it in the museum.

Tailgate Party!

Tailgate Party? what is it exactly? I had absolutely no idea what was a tailgate party. So when I received the email from school about the tailgate party this passing Saturday, first thing I did was look it up on google:"what is a tailgate party?" after gaining some knowledge about the tailgate party, I was quite excited "do you want to go to the tailgate party?" I received a text message from my friend Amanda, awesome! "sure!"I replied. The day of the event, the weather could be better, but I was still curious enough to go. I hear music as soon as I got to the parking lot, it was busy enough even though it was dreary. I ran into my other friend on my way to the honors house, he was here for the football game. He is a huge football fan by the way. when we got to the house, some people were already there, there were hotdogs, chips and tea served. Everything was great！Oh wait! it gets better, I got a free honors college T-shirt! It was a great experience!

What do I value?

What do you value? There could be lots of answers : happiness, intelligence, independence, wealth, acceptance, love, and so on. It was easy to pick 5 things you value the most, but it was really hard to get rid of three of them, for me, family and intelligence remained. Does my weekly schedule reflect my core value? I would say yes. I spend quite a bit of time going to school and study because I want to be intelligent. I also spend lots of time talking to my family, that shows I value family. I notice that on my schedule sheet that I filled out, I watch a lot of TV during weekends, my plan is to reduce that time for something more valuable.
