Time to Say Goodb

    To reschedule or not to reschedule, this question kept troubling me for a long time. Eventually I rescheduled my flight and I am going home two days later.

Yesterday, I called my 10-year-old son; I was melt by his sweet voice over the phone. He said, “Mom, I miss you a lot.”

“I miss you, too.”

“Mum, I want to be with you. Yesterday, we went to see a movie, and the tickets sold out. We couldn’t see the movie. But if you were there, you would figure out a way to buy tickets.”

In my boy’s mind, I am still his omnipotent hero.

Before coming to Yale, I struggled a lot. I was really anxious. I even thought of cancelling the trip. Finally, I successfully conquered my anxiety. My husband said I should enjoy to fullest extent of my Yale life, but I am not complete when my family is away from me. However, this study experience proved to be very fruitful.  I observed a lot of excellent teachers’ classes and I reflected these teaching method and developed my strategies of future teaching. Also, I harvest invaluable friendship here.

     With time passing by, I feel my attachment to this new group is getting stronger. This morning, Polly was tearful when she said that it is hard for us to say good bye. It is really hard for everyone because we have spent so much wonderful time together in the past forty days. I will miss the study life here, and this memory will be as beautiful as the rainbow we saw in Niagara.
