It’s a really unforgettable weekend because we SM3 scholars met our host family on Saturday which we had looked forward to for so long a time. Every three or four of us are assigned into a group, connected with a family.
The host of our group is Mrs. Chan-an easy-going lady dressed up ordinarily. We had lunch together in NUS and later our group went to visit Mrs. Chan’s home, having joyous time chatting the whole afternoon. Mrs. Chan introduced a lot of things about herself and her family to us, which are all novel to us. We thought all the rich ladies will devote themselves into work or just live a easeful. On the contrary, she told us she occupied herself with studying every week, even if she had a quite busy job. What she believes is that it’s never too late to study, which I appreciate most. As a student, it is of great encouragement to hear that from an auntie like her. Also, Mrs. Chan told us that she works as a volunteer in her spare time. Due to the belief that people should be grateful for what he have and learn to be generous, she take active part in different types of charities.
Hearing all of what she said, I was totally touched. Maybe I am really lucky enough to meet Mrs. Chan, not only for her liberal of hosting us, but also for the meaningful lesson she gave us.
My host family is a kind one,too. They took me to a wedding ceremony which I really appreciate. But I may not spend the Chinese New Year with them...
ReplyDeleteMy uncle is a kind grandfather who has a grandson and he has a big family. Next month we are going to get together. His family all speak Chinese, so maybe I will feel at home in his family.
ReplyDeleteI love Mrs Chan too..Not only for her kind invitation, but also for those warm short messages she sends to us every day. Don't u think they're very touching? She may feel nice to have four more children. And I'm also thankful that we have another home here.

ReplyDeleteIndeed, it is never too late to study. I see that in my students (who are all older than me) in one of the courses that I'm teaching at another school. Frankly, it is quite exciting interacting with them!
