Refelction over the Chinese letters
I love the experience that I have gotten from
these letters. It has been so great to
be able to talk to somebody who is clear across the world. I love how they are
so kind and they love talking to me. I thought
it was kind of funny when I went to read all my letters every single one of
them had something to say about my relationship with my boyfriend. They all
said how there in China they usually aren’t allowed to have boyfriends until
college unless they are kept secret from their families. They have to spend a
lot of time studying and families there believe that if you have a
boyfriend/girlfriend then they will just take away time from studying. I responded to pretty much all of the emails
and I asked them about some every their everyday things and its crazy how
different our cultures are. It was great to wake up yesterday and see that two
girls responded back to me again. I love being able to talk with other girls
around the world. It’s great because I have always wanted a pen pal and the two
girls that I keep talking to are all about us being friends. I just want to
thank you Ms. James for having this idea and giving us such a great experience.

It's nice that these students are so willing to take the time to stay in touch. I thought it was sad that they are kept from relationships until they are older; high school is so important to develop relationship skills
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have said something about my relationship in my autobiograpgy! I bet the comments that you had were really interesting. I would have enjoyed hearing their opinions about that.
ReplyDeleteI think it is so interesting that the students were so intrigued by you having a boyfriend. I bet that brought up a lot of questions and good topics to talk about.
