Chinese New Year Celebration

January 22nd is Chinese New Year, the year of the rabbit. My girl’s troops and my family had a special celebration for it.




My girl's troops had a meeting at the Old Mission Park on January 21st. We learned how to make clove hitch, shear lashing, and tripod. I enjoyed tying the ropes.


Next, we had the Court of Honor Ceremony, and we congratulated the scouts who received the NYLT certificates and patches. 



Then, the senior scouts talked about the snow camp and summer camp.




At last, we celebrated Chinese New Year. We got red envelopes, and we all ate Chinese snacks.



After the scout meeting, we went home. My mom prepared the wraps and fillings for the dumplings, and my dad and I made the dumplings. 



Making dumplings is our tradition for the Chinese New Year celebration. The dumplings were juicy and delicious. I had a festive Chinese New Year.

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!
