A Thanksgiving Feast

Every year Aunt Lucy invites us to her house for a thanksgiving feast, and we also bring some dishes to the dinner. Most important, Uncle Terry always cooks the turkey for us. This year the turkey was eighteen pounds, golden brown, steaming, and fresh.


I helped to make mashed potato and gravy. Their recipe was a little bit different from mine. 



We also had a colorful salad, fruits, boiled Brussels sprouts, and baked yams and squashes.




At the beginning of our feast, we toasted at the table and said what we were thankful for. I thanked my family, my friends, and my teachers.



I ate the turkey with cranberry sauce. The turkey was very juicy this year. The stuffing was delicious.



I drank a lot of apple cider and enjoyed talking with them, especially about The Nutcracker.

My favorite food was turkey, salad, and homemade cherry pie.  



Then, we sat on the sofa, ate snacks, and chatted near the fireplace. It was warm and cozy.





What a festive Thanksgiving with the whole family and friends!

Dog Day

Image
Last Thursday, I attended the Fresno State Dog Day orientation which was quite an exciting experience. At the Wayfinders booth, I checked in and received my name tag along with a red bag containing a free T-shirt and a student handbook.  After that, I went through a quick interview session with one of the staff and met my new classmates. We did some icebreakers and introduced ourselves to each other.  Next, we were taught how to use Canvas, an online course management system and I completed the Introduce Yourself assignment. Later, we played some games outside and exchanged phone numbers with my new roommate. Overall, my college experience at Fresno was pleasant and I had a great time at the Dog Day orientation.

Volunteering at the Shinzen Japanese Garden

Image
 I enjoy the volunteer activities provided by the Wayfinders. My favorite is the Shinzen Japanese Garden.  I have been there with my family before.  It's beautiful and peaceful. The pond, bridge, maple trees, and Japanese lamppost give me a Zen feel. I like nature so much that   I  enjoy volunteering in this garden.   On Saturday, I volunteered at the Japanese garden again. I helped them rake up the leaves and pull the weeds. The garden looks very clean and organized. For lunch, I had veggie and cheese pizza and drank water with it. I enjoyed   my lunch with my friends.  While cleaning the garden, I saw a peacock walking on the wooden fence and t he koi fish swimming happily in the pond. What a rewarding day!
