My Journey (Final Reflection)

     This is my second semester in City-tech. My friends advised me to register at ENG 1121 later, because this class would much be harder for me as a second language speaker. I thought it over and decided to challenge myself. At the beginning of this semester, I was nervous about each class I took. I had to ask my professor how to complete the assignments after class. I was lucky to have a kind professor who always helped and encouraged me through all of my difficulties. I appreciated how my professor checked and modified many details on my essay. Every student can express his or her thoughts freely. Her creative classes opened my mind and gave me confidence that I never had before.

I  feel that it is important to open up further discussion and analysis of shuttlecock, because it’s a easy and fun sport that everyone can play and get unbelievable benefits. As a traditional folk sports, shuttlecock has exited for more than 2000 years in China. The International Shuttlecock Federation was founded in 1999. World Shuttlecock Championship was held in different countries all around the world in recent years.

 

Such discussion would bring the following potential benefits. Exercise can be fun, like shuttlecock. Comparing to other sports, shuttlecock can make people healthy, but in a relatively easy way and help people to build body coordination.  That’s why you always could find some seniors playing shuttlecock very well in public parks or squares in China. It’s one of the Chinese traditional culture. More and more Chinese pay attention to get healthy by exercises. If seniors can play shuttlecock, the young people and teenager also can play it too, wherever in a house, studio or schools. Shuttle is a great way to relax from the pressures of the day and connect with friends and family.

 

This discussion would foster awareness of finding love and caring around you. By kicking shuttlecock, maybe you could make new friends, find different love from your families and get better relationship with people around you. As a competitive sports, shuttlecock also could build your confidence and teamwork cooperations. These are lifetime benefit.

 

This awareness is important because we care about our families and friends just like how they care about us.

The Sounds of my Commute

I got on the R train on the way home at 8:36 pm. There were too many people on the train. When I sat down, I heard the lady sitting behind me chatting with her friend. She said,  “ I will fly to Florida next Tuesday for a vacation.” Her friends replied, “Sounds good! Wow, I’m so jealous! ” This is actually my response. I’m tired, mostly because I got home late at night. Where is my vacation? I needed to plan it in advance. The train stopped at the Atlantic Ave-Barclay Center station. With the door opening, I was surprised to hear someone was singing a classic Chinese song “The Moon Represents My Heart”. This is the first time I heard a Chinese song in the subway station, not only music. However the pronunciation is a little weird, but still recalled my memory in China. I figured out the singer is a black man from a video that my friend shared on Wechat the next day. I had to give him thumbs up. Before the train door closed, a beggar got on the train. He started his speech by: “Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry about bothering you……” We often meet beggar or homeless people on the subway, and they all have their stories. Some of them look very pitiful and helpless. I may give them some change if I do have at that time. But sometimes I think maybe some of them should have the ability to find a job instead of begging, at least they can make a good speech. The train quieted down for a while, all I hear is ding-dongs, the sound of doors opening and closing. I looked at the people around me enjoying music with earphones, playing games on the smartphone or taking a nap. They were all in their own world.
