Wednesday-Boring Day

周三-无聊的一天

(在北京的那个)周三不是一个很有趣的一天。上午我们得等文件工作。我不太清楚那是什么。我觉得应该是我护照。我们等了大约30分钟或者什么的,那是一个很长很无聊的一天。

晚上我们看一个杂技表演。那个挺有趣的。我挺喜欢的。有时候那些人做很我很希望做的了不起的东西。

看,这不是很无聊吗。

Wednesday wasn't a very exciting day. In the morning we had to wait for the paper work. I didn't know what it is. I think it's my passport. We waited about 30 minutes or something, it was a long boring day.

At night we watched an acrobat show. It was pretty cool. I liked it. Sometimes the people did amazing things that I wished I could do.

See it was boring.

Tuesday- Great Wall

周二-长城

在星期二我们去爬长城。一开始是很冷的。然后我就开始觉得有点热,所以我就开始把我的帽子的外衣给脱了。当我们爬长城的时候,有时候啊爸爸会看得我,不让我摔倒。但是,我不喜欢这个因为这是我觉得我需要更多的帮助。这要让我觉得我的残疾很明显。

那天我很想走到长城的最顶上。但是,我们只走过10个塔楼。我想走远点儿,但江阿姨(我们的翻译)说:“记得,如果你走远点儿的话,那你得全走回去。”那时候我就想:我不管,我就是到最顶上!我不觉得这是很多的走路。我们就不能试试吗。

然后我们就看鸟巢,但是我们没进去。我真希望我们能进去。这样会更有趣一点。当我们回到车上,我和我的大姐姐玩了一会儿。然后我就看了看一些中国电视。

晚上江阿姨叫我怎么做饺子。这很有趣。那是我第一次做饭因为在福利院那些阿姨不让我们做饭。所以我挺兴奋的。

这就是周二。

On Tuesday we went to the Great Wall. It was cold at first. Then I started getting hot, so I started taking my coat and hat off. When we walked the Great Wall, sometimes my dad would watch me to make sure I wasn't falling. However, I didn't like that because that made me think that I always need help. That also made me think that my disability is very obvious.

That day I really wanted to go all the way to the top of the Great Wall. However, we only went to 10 towers. I wanted to go farther, but Joy (our translator) said, "Remember, if you walk farther, you have to walk back." I thought: I don't care, I want to go all the way to the top! I didn't think it was a lot of walking. Can we just try it?

Then we went to the bird nest (from Beijing Olympics), but we didn't go in. I wish we can go in. That would be more fun. When we went back to the car, me and my big sister play a little. Then I watched some Chinese TV shows.

At night Joy taught me how to make dumpling. It was fun. It was my first time to made some food because in the orphanage the nannies didn't let us cook or something. So I was pretty excited.

Then we finished the day.

Monday- Sign for Having a Family

周一—为了有个家签字

在我第一次见到我美国家长的下一天我们去了一个办公室弄那么结婚证和收养的东西。那个挺无聊的。有一个阿姨让我签我想有家的字。我签了。我同意了。我那时候真的没有选择。我不想再回到福利院,因为到时候阿姨会生我的气而且我也不会再有第二次有家的机会了。所以我同意了。

之后我们去了雍和宫。那儿倒挺好的。然后面店。我喜欢那里的面。然后我们去天坛。当我们到那儿了之后,我那时候倒是挺累的。然后我们去火锅店,我不喜欢因为那儿有很多的肉,只有一点点蔬菜。然后我们去看了功夫表演,那个挺好的。那个功夫表演不是特别有趣,但也不是特无聊。我基本上能听得懂他们说的话。故事是用英文说的,这倒是挺奇怪的因为我们在中国北京。但是,他们有中文字幕。

这就是我和我父母的第一天。

The day after I met my American parents for the first time we went to an office that does marriage and adoption things. It was pretty boring. The women let me sign it whether I want a family or not. I signed it. I said yes. I really don't have a choice. I didn't want go back to the orphanage again, because then the nannies would be mad at me and I probably don't have anymore chances to have a family ever. So I said yes.

Then we went to Lama Temple. It was nice. Then to a noodle shop. I liked the noodles there. Then we went to Temple of Heaven. By the time we got there, I am pretty tired. Then we went to Hot Pot restaurant, I didn't like it because it has a lot of meat and little vegetable. Then we went to a Kung Fu show. It's ok. It's not really interesting, but it isn't very boring either. I kind of understand the story. The story spoke in English, which it's little bit strange because we are in Beijing, China. However, they have Chinese description.

That's the first day I with my parents.

Meet My American parents

见我的美国父母

2014年2月19日是我在福利院的最后一天。

早上白阿姨(在严格的规则)对不我和我朋友不怎么开心因为我们在洗澡的时候玩了一会儿然后不小心溅到了她。在福利院我老是闯祸。我就是一个麻烦制造者。其实白阿姨不怎么喜欢我。我也不怎么喜欢她。我觉得她没有一个仁慈的心。但是,我可能是错的。

我最喜欢的高阿姨来早了因为她知道我那天会走的。她给了我一本书,然后我们就陪陪对方。

当韩阿姨说时间要走了,我跟我的朋友和高阿姨说再见。我很高兴。但是,当我见到我美国家长的时候,我的脸就变平了。

当我见到了我美国的父母然后是时间离开了,我不知道为什么我就开始哭了一点点。妈妈给我一张手纸。我还不想离开呢。我不觉得我准备要离开。但是,我做我最好的。

那天下午,江阿姨,我们的翻译,问我关于我的英文名字。在英语,他们的名字是,你的的名字,你中间的名字,然后你的姓。(XX XX XX)我的名字中间有两个名字。我就想,为什么美国人把他们的名字弄得那么长呀?我是不会记那么长的名字的。我告诉妈妈和爸爸那个名字太长了。然后我中间只有一个名字而且我觉得舒服多了。我的名字已经弄好了。丁姐姐帮我选了我的名字而且我喜欢我的名字。

然后江阿姨问我关于这礼拜在北京的计划。我在想看望刘雨晴(我朋友)和郑老师。我也想去圆明园,因为在学校我们有一个春游,但是我没有去因为老师说走路对我来说太长了。我那时候应该胆子大一点然后说不(不能跟我班同学一块儿去),但是我没说。然后我们商量了那个星期的计划,我同意了。

我和我的姐姐睡同一个屋。她只能说妹妹的中文。我挺喜欢她的。

Sunday, 2-19-2014 was the last day I lived in the orphanage.

In the morning nanny Bai (mention in Strict Rules) wasn't happy with me and my friends Su Nannan and Ma Weibo because we played in the shower and accidentally splashed her. In the orphanage I was always in trouble. I am just a trouble marker. Actually nanny Bai didn't like me very much. I didn't like her either. I think she didn't have a kind heart. However, I could be wrong.

My favorite nanny Gao came early for work because she knew I was going to leaving that day. She gave me a book, and we were just hanging out.

When nanny Han said it was time to go, I said goodbye to my friends and nanny Gao. I was very happy. However, when I saw my American parents, my face got flat.

When I saw my American parents and it was time to leave, I don't know why I started to cry a little bit. Mom gave me a tissue. I didn't want to leaved yet. I didn't think I was ready to leave yet. However, I did as best as I can.

That afternoon, Joy, our translator, asked me about my new English name.  It had two middle names. I thought, why Americans make the name so long? I am not going to remember that super long name. I told Mom and Dad it was too long. Then I only had one middle name and I was feeling better. My first name was already taken care of. Sister Ding helped me pick it out and I liked it.

Then Joy asked me about plans for the week in Beijing. I was thinking to visit Liu Yuqing (my friend) and Mrs. Zheng (my teacher). I also think Yuanmingyuan (the old summer palace), because in school we had a field trip, but I didn't go because the teacher said is was too long to let me walk. I should have been a little more bold and said no to it (not being allowed to go with my class), but I didn't. Then we talked out the plan for the week and I agreed.

Me and my sister slept in one room. She only can say "Mei Mei" in Chinese (which means small sister). I like her.

That was my adoption day.

Last day in Qinghe #1

在清河一小的最后一天

2012年2月17日星期五是我在清河一小的最后一天。对我来说,那是一个很好的最后一天。我很惊奇我班同学是怎么反应的,但我很高兴。

在我上学之前,区长魏阿姨告诉一个给我照相机(我在新的地方)。那个阿姨给我试了试。我问我班里最好的朋友如果我应不应该照相。她不知道。所以我就没做。不过我倒是挺后悔我没有做,我真希望我的胆子能大一点。但是我告诉他我的计划关于我们要做什么。我想她跟我一起去郑老师的办公室去问郑老师跟我合影。她说行。

在早上我们做早自习的时候,那个我不喜欢的女孩(新学生)走到我这儿,然后告诉我在第一个课后去她那儿。我很惊奇因为她一点都不喜欢我。

当我走到她那儿,她给我她的电话号码和一个玩具。我在班里最好的朋友,刘雨晴,也给我一些糖和玩具。我很高兴。

我的班主任陶老师给我买了一本书,然后她让我全班同学签字(写祝福语)。等我吃完饭了,她就把这本书给了我。在下课的时候,所有的同学都来到我拿给我留电话号码。我那天出去的次数不是很多因为没给人来到我们然后我就让他们写下他们的电话号码。

那里有一个男孩叫潘占勇。他的语文老师不怎么喜欢他。我们俩在二三年级的时候有同样的语文老师。他老会开玩笑说如果他去美国了,张老师会掌声鼓掌,而且她会很开心。所以我也会开同样的玩笑。我会说如果我去美国的话,我的同学会掌声鼓掌而且他们会很高兴。但是,这美国发生。在我在学校的最后一天,每个人都对我很我,没有一个人跟我说我的坏话。这让我很惊奇。

我也得到了郑老师的电话号码!我应该谢谢刘雨晴因为他告诉郑老师我很想要她的电话号码!她只我有一点点害怕。我很高兴郑老师给我了她的电话号码。

你还记得我原来的计划吗。陶老师不想让刘雨晴跟我一块去因为她要回家了。所以我就自己去了,不过我心事蹦蹦的跳。郑老师好像很高兴愿意跟我合影。她还夸了夸我。

当我放学了,我很高兴因为我有我和郑老师的合影!在福利院有些阿姨跟我照了相。我也跟我朋友合了影。我把我的照片下到PSP。因为我想照照片,魏阿姨在福利院待长一点时间。我得为了这个谢谢她。然后我朋友给我做了一些卡和首饰。

在晚上我把郑老师的照片给我朋友看了看。然后我就跟我的朋友待在一起。

Friday, 2-17-2012, was my last day in Qinghe#1. It was a very good last day for me. I was a little surprised at how my classmates responded, but I was very happy.

Before I went to school, the supervisor nanny Wei told a nanny to gave me the camera (I mentioned in new area). The nanny tested one picture on me. I asked my best friend in my class if I should take pictures. She didn't know. So I didn't. Although now I'm feel little sorry that I didn't, I wish I could be a bolder person. However, I told her my plan about what to do. I wanted her to come with me to Mrs. Zheng office to ask Mrs. Zheng to take a picture with me. She said ok.

In the morning when we were having a morning drill, the girl that I really don't like (new student) came over to me and told me after first period she wanted me to come over to them. I was little bit surprise because she didn't like me at all.

When I came over to her, she gave me her phone number and one toy. My best friend in my classmate, Liu Yuqing, give me some candy and toys too. I was very happy.

My home room teacher Mrs. Tao bought a book and let all my classmates sign it. She gave the book to me after lunch. During breaks, all of my classmates came to me and gave me their phone number. I didn't go out at all because everybody came to me and I just let them write down their phone number.

There was a boy named Pan Zhanyong. His Language Art teacher doesn't like him very much. We had same Language Art teacher in second and third grade. He was always joking that if he went to America, Mrs. Zhang would clap her hands and be very happy. So I also would joked the same thing. I would joked that if I went to America, my classmates will clap their hands and will be super happy! However, it didn't turn out that way. On my last day of school, everybody was nice to me and nobody said a mean thing to me. Which to me was a big surprise!

I also got Mrs. Zheng's phone number! I should thank Liu Yuqing because she told Mrs. Zheng that I really wanted her phone number! She knew I was little afraid. I was very happy that Mrs. Zheng gave me the phone number!

Do you remember my original plan for this day? Well, Mrs. Tao didn't want Liu Yuqing to come with me because she had to go home. So I went by myself and my heart was pumping very fast. Mrs. Zheng seemed very happy that I asked her to take a picture with me. She also said some good things about me!

At the end of school, I was very happy because I had a picture of me with Mrs. Zheng! At the orphanage some of the nannies took some pictures with me. I also took pictures of some of my friends. My pictures were loaded on my PSP. Because of me, nanny Wei stay longer at the orphanage. I have to thank to her about that. Then my friends makes some cards for me and gave me some jewelries.

At the end of day I showed Mrs. Zheng's picture to my friend. The rest of the night I spent with my friend.

Last Week in Qinghe#1

在清河一小的最后一个星期

在2012年2月的第三个星期,我们开始上学了。这是我第一个星期上学,也是我最后一个星期在清河一小。

在周日我们回校去哪我们四年级下册的书。没有什么特别的事儿发生除了我看见了郑老师。

在星期一的时候我有PPD。丁姐姐过来接我。我很兴奋。当我回来的时候,悦老师就问我如果我是不是要有家了。我说是。

因为我做了PPD,我错过了一些英语作业。在清河一小,我们的主课是语文,数学,和英语。我们每天都有数学和英语,一个星期有两个英语课。当我们有大考试的话,我们老是考这三个科目。我没有很多的考试,一年只有六个考试。

周二当我写完了我的英语作业,然后交给我的英语张老师,她问我什么时候走。我说可能五月吧,因我那些阿姨说当我弄完了PPD,我得要等两三个月。

然后在周四,我会去检查了我的PPD。我的PPD不是很好因为我老是挠我的胳膊。做PPD是很痒的。那天早上我没有去学校。当我要去查我PPD的时候,我听见阿姨们说星期天我会被收养。那时候我就:哇,那么快,我以为我得等两三个月呢。那也挺好的因为我可以跟我的朋友,阿姨,和老师在一起的时间长点。

我也有X-光,那是在一个很大的楼房。所以我就想:或许我的家长已经在中国了,而且他们在那里设置了一个照相头。这样他们就知道我完成了我的X-光了。可能这就是为什么他们那么快就要接我了。

我有家的事情在学校传的很快。我所有的同学很大多数的老师都知道了。我四年级的语文老师祝福了我然后对我微笑。自从三年级的时候,那是她第一次对我微笑。当她当了我的老师之前她挺喜欢我的。当她当了我的老师之后,她不怎么喜欢我了,因为我的语文很不好,她好像不怎么喜欢我了,但是我想我二三年级的老师,她好像挺讨厌我的。

在周四下午。每个人知道我星期五是我在清河一小的最后一天,而且每个人都知道我最喜欢的老师是郑老师。所以有一个男孩跟我开玩笑:“明天你要看郑老师看的够呀!”我很告诉因为我很喜欢郑老师。

回头我会告诉你们我在清河一小的最后一天。

In the third week February of 2012, we started school. This was my first week of school, it was also was my last week in Qinghe#1.

We went back to school on Sunday to get our book for fourth grade second semester. Nothing really special on Sunday except I saw Mrs. Zheng.

On Monday, I had a PPD. The sister Ding picked me up. In the orphanage nannies that are very young, we call them sister. I was very excited. When I came back, Mr. Yue asked me if I was going to having family, I said yes.

Because I did PPD, I missed some of the English classwork. In Qinghe#1, our main classes were Language Art, math, and English. We had Language Art and math everyday, and English two classes a week. When we had a big test, we always tested those three subjects. We didn't have a lot of tests, one year we only had six big tests.

When I finished my English classwork on Tuesday and gave it to the English teacher Mrs. Zhang, she asked what time I was going to leave. I said maybe in May, because the nannies said you will be adopted two or three months after you have the PPD test.

Then on Thursday, I went back to check my PPD. My PPD wasn't really good because I scratched a lot. Doing PPD is very itchy. That morning I didn't go to school. When I was about to leave to check my PPD, I heard the nannies say I was going to be adopted this Sunday. At that time I thought: Wow, that's so fast, I thought I had to wait another two or three months! Which was good because I can stay with my friends, nannies, and teachers longer.

I also had a X-ray, and it was in a big building. So I thought: Maybe my parents were already in China, and they put a camera in there. That's how they know I finished X-ray. Maybe that's why they came to get me so fast.

My news about having family spread fast in school. All of my classmates and most of my teachers knew. My fourth grade Language Art teacher blessed me and smiled at me. I was pretty happy. It was her first smile since I was in third grade. She liked me before she became my teacher. After she became my teacher, because my Language Art was so bad, she seemed not to like me anymore, but she didn't like my second and third teacher who seemed to hate me.

On Thursday afternoon, everybody knew that Friday was my last day in Qinghe #1, and everybody knew that my favorite teacher was Mrs. Zheng. So there was one boy who joked to me, "Tomorrow you will see Mrs. Zheng as many times as you want!" I was very happy because I like Mrs. Zheng very much.

Next I will tell you my last day in Qinghe#1.

Face the Truth, Don't Hide

面对事实,不要逃避

现在每个人都知道一点点关于我的个性吧,我从来都不会用我的残疾当借口。我也不喜欢别人小看我。我相信如果人的努力够的话,那我们就什么都可以做!我是一个正常人!

那些阿姨老是不同意我的看法。有一定姐姐跟我说了话,她说我在逃避事实。她说我应该面对事实,因为我老是逃避我有残疾的事实。

我想了想她说了话。但是,没有一个人能改变我相信什么。我还是觉我是对的。我没有逃避事实。我实在是这证明不管我有没有残疾,我什么都能做。

可能有些东西对我来说有一点难。但是我不管如果我有没有残疾。我就是想证明我能做到的。我不需要额外的帮助!我不是在逃避事实。我是不会用我的残疾当借口的。

因为我有残疾,我会更加执着一点!我不管如果别人说我死脑筋。我就是要用我的方式来做事。

Everybody now knows a little of my personality. I don't ever use my disability as an excuse. I don't like when people underestimate me either. I believe if people work hard enough, then we can do anything! I am a normal person!

The nannies always disagree with me. One time sister Ding talked to me, she said I hide from the truth. She told me that I should face the truth, because I always hide the fact that I have a disability.

I thought about her comment. However, no one can change what I believe. I still think I am right. I didn't hide from the truth. I was trying to prove that I can do anything no matter if I had disability or not.

Maybe somethings are a little hard for me. However, I don't care if I have disability or not. I just want to prove that I can do it. I don't need extra help! I am not hiding from the truth. I would not use my disability as an excuse.

Because I have a disability, I am going to be more determined! I don't care if people are going to call me stubborn. I am going do it my way.
