Gloria has started her junior year

Dear Bridget,

Today is a new and long day! As a new member of the junior year, I’m so excited and happy. I found I’m fond of learning so much. First, I attended the first class and got to know the new teacher who teaches us advanced English. She is a hard-working woman, obviously trying hard to impress us. I’m willing to discover more from her! The second class is about British and American history. Our teacher is Gary Todd a He is such a humorous and excellent person, telling us the truth in a fun way! He has traveled plenty of places and known so much about history, by the way, he is a doctor in history. I know I’m gonna love him and the history!

The next is French, which I almost forgot. However, I began to get familiar with it as the teacher taught. But I kept doubt about his pronunciation since I had heard a class on ITunes. Anyway it is an exciting start!

Then I had a conversation with Jerrie before our World Academy class began. Days before I told Susanna I gave up the dream of studying abroad, shortly and calmly. Then Susanna told Jerrie about it.

I had worked almost two years and could have had no opportunity of entering university without my parents’ insistence and generous offer. I figured out I had gained a lot and I shouldn’t be a burden to them. They have already suffered so much for my brother’s severe brain health and my nephew’s Willims Syndrome. Without me, they can have a relatively lighter and happier time, traveling some time. They worried so much about the tuition and me staying abroad alone. And I suppose my scores are not good enough to earn a scholarship. Then why not stop thinking of this and give them a relief? Why not be brave to tell yourself your bubble dream is broken? I struggled all the summer vacation. But when I made up my mind and hadn’t gotten enough time to tell you people I love, Jerrie talked to me and encouraged me. I couldn’t stop crying.

Then we went to the class and saw the new members. One year ago, I was just like them, sitting there and staring at Joyce and Judy with curiosity and uncertainty and desire. When I recalled the friends I’ve made, the leadership I’ve learned and precious lessons I’ve gotten, I became very emotional again. All the things seemingly happened just yesterday. I believe I’m blessed to be a member of the World Academy and an advanced member again!
I know you have difficulty in getting internet, but you might be kind to send a letter to the ones who care you and you care, including me please, telling us you're enjoying your life!

Love you!
