我在去年的七月来到这里,或许是曾经国内的一切给我留下了过于深刻的印象亦或者是作为一个新参者初入此地的不适应,我曾一度把两个地方进行比较,又编出理由来说服自己去接受自己的堕落。我一直在思考这个问题:我为什么要来到这个地方,我既不喜欢,同时又是被迫的离开我衷情的故乡,我实在想不到任何理由去接受。
生活在多数的时候都是平淡或糟糕的,对过去的思念曾一度将人冲垮。我第一次选择去接受是因为这里的风景,说来奇怪让我打开心扉不是人或事,而是仅仅一次,我坐在院子里,欣赏了一场雨。其实这场只是位于两季交接时一场在普通不过的雨,但是它却于我而言是一场最特殊的雨,我头一次未曾受到任何嘈杂心绪的影响,我静了下来,内心平静得宛若我是一个自己人生的局外人。我就坐在那里看着雨打落树叶,滴答声萦绕耳边,细朦朦的雨雾笼罩四周,脸颊上感受这因此而带来的清爽,下雨时特有的一种土腥和潮气,带来独属于这场雨的清新。世界很宁静,没有任何令人焦虑的喧嚣。雨一直没有停,每当我抬头将心绪浸入自然之中之时,我就可以感受到一种治愈人心的自由,这种自由之感不是随心所欲胡作非为的自由,而是在焦躁的内心世界里,你可以脱离过去或者说琐事所带来的桎梏,做到意随心动。
人的焦躁不是依赖温暖治愈的,它需要的是一场平静的旅行,一场心灵的自由旅行。
这个经历看上去实在是没有理由写在这里作为我留在这所学校最后的印迹,但是作为真实的自我感受,不离题,算是一场自由随性的写作,没有严密的逻辑,华丽的字句。在这里我想它之所以关乎我,可能便是这一场因自由而行的旅行吧。

💕🐣Meet the Newspaper Club 🐣 💕
Hello! My name is Linda Chen, class of 2023. 🩷 I am from class 810, and there are a lot of memories that I want to share with you! But firstly, I want to give a “thank you” to all the teachers, counselors, and assistant principals, especially our school’s principal, Mr. Dempster. Thank you for your hard work and without you, I wouldn’t have been here today.🌹
💫🌟Memories 🌟💫
The first memory I want to tell you about is the trip to Six Flags. Six Flags is a very fun amusement theme park to be in. I am very lucky to have this as a senior trip and will cherish it with all my heart. I had so much fun! I rode the roller coasters, and it was fun, but it was scary at the same time. I also rode on the Ferris wheel. I was so high up that I could see all the fun games in the theme park. Furthermore, I bought a lot of food for me and my friends.
Another memory which I won’t forget is being part of the honor society. It is really hard to be in the honor society, because you have to work very hard such as improving your grades(Aristar) or helping out your teachers a lot(archon). I am really happy to be a part of this society because it means a lot to me. I have helped all my teachers and classmates and they really appreciate it.
🔆 💧This summer💧 🔆
This summer, I have a lot of things to do. I can visit my cousin from Canada and spend time with them. Also, my dad is going to take my whole entire family to a water park. I can eventually go out if it’s not too hot or I can just stay home and sleep throughout the whole day. Sometimes I would love to explore what there is in Manhattan. I heard that Manhattan has some good food and I am willing to try it out.
