Sincereity

Chat with Sumi this morning. My impression of her is positive, sincere and energetic. S he sent a letter to other teachers explaining her and her students' progress on our project. I was so touched when she told me her students was able to reflect on immigration issues becasue of our project. I am so excited to hear this. Afterall, we are all like fish living in water. The longer we stay indoctrinated by the norm, the lesser chance we have to change our surroundings, which greatly influnce who we are. This is usually how we react to experiences 1. eye opening experience 2. seeking change 3. reinevnting yourself
But of course you can refuse to change, but WHY? I just feel it's silly and VERY boring to refuse to change.

Relationship

Had a long talk with two friends who are deeply in love, yet deeply confused at the same time (:S). I am really worried about them and was afraid that one worng decision from one side can ruin a potential bright future among them. I will pray for them and hope they will be all right.
