International Student Appreciation Reciption
Nov.12,Tuesday. Today’s night is a another memorable night.We had an International student appreciation reciption in the arts center of greenwood. It was host by Lander University office of International Programs and Greenwood Partnership alliance.All of the international students ,scholars at Lander and our host families were invited to attend this wonderful event.Almost all of the presidents and Deans attended it.
This kind of reception is held once a year.I was so honored to attend it.Some International students and scholars went to shopping malls and bought some nice clothing.Every one was happy and hopeful.
The office of International programs did a lot of good jobs.Jeff designed a wonderful passport for dinner.There were programs and menus of the dinner.Several stamps on the passport were just like the real one visa.Every one coming to the dinner could get one.I’ve never seen so nice passport before.I think I should take it back to Shanghai and keep it forever.Po,Boyoung and Jeff went to the art center several times and discussed the programs during our international meeting.
The dining hall of Lander made a lot of special food for our dinner.Everyone enjoyed the food.
We also enjoyed Mr.Liu’s Chinese paintings.Having an exhibition of Chinese paintings at Lander is Mr.Liu’s dream.Under the support of Po’s ,Mr. Liu’s painting was exhibited during the dinner.You can’t imagine Mr.Liu did a wonderful job in the past one month.He painted the rainbow fall,the state park ,the national park ,the smoky mountain and so on.To our surprise,he sent the painting of Dr.Ball to our dear President Ball.Another thing amazing us was that he put our hiking photo into his introduction of his painting.It’s also a precious memory.I think I was lucky to meet Mr. Liu here.What he did always gave me large encouragement.
Another thing I want to record is that I made a speech of appreciation in the dinner.Thanks to Lander University office of International programs for giving me this kind of opportunity of making speech.Several days ago,I heard there would be someone making an appreciation speech in the coming international dinner.I talked to Po and told him that I wanted to try.After that, I knew there were only two persons who would make the speeches during the dinner from Han.I wanted to give this opportunity to our Chinese student.But in the end,the office of International Programs still gave me this opportunity.They thought that I could represent the other two scholars.Last week I wrote down what I wanted to say and sent it to Po.I never met the Dean who modified my speech so seriously.Also he suggested me to go to the writing center and they will modify my speech once more.I accepted his suggestion and I gained a wonderful speech in the end.I tried my best to remember my speech and in fact I did it.I didn’t want to make Lander University office of International Programs disappointed.I thought I succeeded.
