Ramses the Great Exhibition

On Sunday, my family and I went to see Ramses the Great exhibition at de Young Museum. Ramses the Great was a pharaoh 3000 years ago. He ruled Egypt for 67 years and died at the age of 90. He was the warrior and peacemaker. Under the reign of Ramses the Great, Egypt was strong, peaceful, and prosperous.



The exhibition includes various objects from Egypt. This is my first time seeing the sphinx, and I’m fascinated.



Although some of the jewelry and golden masks are dazzling, they are 3000 years old. I can’t believe it.   



There were many beautiful paintings, mummies, and coffins with artistic engravings.





All the exhibition was related to Ramses the Great. You can see the prosperity of his country and feel impressed by the great civilization of ancient Egypt. I really want to visit Egypt!

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!
