Finally I have gotten my F1 visa and the flight is on May 1. I can’t believe this has happened so rapidly over a short period of time. Supposedly I am going home with my siblings for Tomb-Sweeping Day but decide to stay so I can finish off some teaching hours before I take off.
Those who think I’m insane can’t understand my passion. Why does every one of us need to follow the same course of life? I pull myself together hoping to be one of the pioneers, traveling on a journey to the unknown yet full-of-surprised road. Don’t let anybody use prejudiced comment to derogate you! We all have some strength in certain aspects. We are masters of our own life. We are citizens of beauty in this galaxy…
A step further on my path to scientific field, dream, and travel of world certainly draws me closely to the petite figurine in my head. I smile at the gray sky but feel sunshine inside. Farewell, Taipei! Farewell, my friends! Farewell, my hometown, Taidong! The valley of sand, a place filled with tons of life-long memories, shall hold a special spot in my full-fledged soul.
