I was in the news today, in China Daily—one of China’s largest news corporations. This was about a trip with the Foreign Expert Affairs Department of Tianjin City. We were introduced to a few museums in the city. I loved the experience—it was enlightening, and I met so many interesting people. One sad thing about this—I look so bad in this picture.

At the beginning of our summer break my grandparents and cousin got to visit us here in China! We got to show them all of our life and what we do. I had a ton of fun getting to show how I use my time at school and on the weekends. I also had fun getting to just have time with them playing cards and board games, eating dinner together, and just talking. This visit diffidently brightened my summer, I'm so glad I got to have the time I did with them!
