The fifth day in student activities
Although this is the last day for me to work with student activities, I hope Shelby continue to give me help. I want to take part in their activities if I have a free time. Today I have a meeting with Lauarl. She discussed about guy club's trip with the leader. I felt the USA's style of working.
Today is small new year to me,but now is Chinese's evening of the year, My family are sleeping.
On 9th Feb evening is very important to Chinese people. It's the end of the lunar year. The second day is the Chinese new year. This is the first time for me to live without family in Chinese new year. On today's evening, Chinese students want to gather together. Every one will prepare for the food. Perhaps in our country,they cannot do anything for the spring festival. But today they will do themselves for the traditional Chinese holidays.

The fourth day in student activities
Student housing construction, I don't know how fortunate for me to take part in this meeting. By chance, in the morning I chatted with Ms Deb about her job, I am interested in her meeting with some department of student affairs. So I went to Pam's office and told her about my intend. She suggested me to talk about Mr Bouknight, Finished talking ,Mr Bouknight invited me to take part in this meeting. I am glad to take part in this meeting. Before meeting , I knew someone who has been retired, he said he was a volunteer. The design company introduced the drawings, and brought materials to the meeting site, every detail, people will put forward their own views. Although it's difficult for me to understand what they said, I knew they talked about all the deatails This discussion is planning a new dormitory, the dormitory is composed of South, East and West, three directions. It can hold 210 total beds, and 70.098 total square feet. Cindy and Chandler choosed the color of all the things carefully about curtains, floor etc. The meeting began at 9:30am and finished at 1:00pm. It's the longest meeting I took part in lander university.
When I was having a lunch, I met some Chinese students. Xu xue will not have a class in the afternoon. I invite her to take part in the Dr Benjamine E.Mays historical preservation site. Benjamin Elijah Mays was born in 1894 in South Caroline. In 1940, Mays became the president of Morehouse of College. His most famous student there was Martin Luther King Jr. The two developed a close relationship that continued until King's death in 1968; As his lifelong mentor,Mays delivered the eulogy for King. In our country, We knew the Martin Luther King Jr, because of I have a dream that was elected to the English textbooks. In our teaching, teacher will give you listen to the speech of Dr King. Maybe in our country Dr Mays are not more famous than Dr King. After I go back to my university, I will public the history of Dr Mays. He is a famous in South Caroline. We heard a lot about his life, and visited the places he lived as a child. The house is very cold, lots of holes. Inside his school, it contains very old school desks, wood stove, and blackboards with assignments for upper and lower grades. As to all the students, I thinks it's good opportunity to get close to this famous person.
A wonderful concert's let the lander even more amazing rainy night. As to me I'd like piano performance more than the singer.Haha, But They are all wonderful.

The third day in student activities
There are four organizations school children as a tutor in lander university. Academic oragnizations including psychology club ,council for exceptional children etc. Clubs,interest groups including lander swim club,minorities on the move etc. Religious organizations including Chi Sigma,younglife etc. Service organizations including Rotaract club of lander university etc. As to students, they have time to take part in campus activities. Today I talked lots of things with the student who is on duty in the campus activities office. I am curious about USA student's life. I asked him lots of questions. I learnt in USA family, parents request children what can do or not do. In high school, they have a counselor of career. Students can face to face talk with counselor teacher. Teacher can help them find their interest. Some students choose what kind of major by themselves before coming to the school. A bit tuition paid by their parents, a bit paid by themselves, the rest of the tuition through bank loans. In my country, if student's family can't afford the tuition, they will lend money from bank. But before lending money from bank, they must supply the certification that can prove they are poor.
Donny learnt Chinese very hard. today, jingjing ,xuxue and liziwei came my class together. They helped me teach.We have lots fun in the class.

The second day in student activities
Student activities team meeting is in Shelby's office. Now for me it's difficult to understand the meaning of the sentence in the meeting. If a group of USA talked about something. I felt wonder. I'm very interested in the campus club. I asked the students what club they take part in, How they feel. Then I asked Laural who are responsible for the club. She told me if students want to creat new club ,they may apply, and they must have seven members before building up. Lander Presidential Leadership program is taught by Shelby. She is good at inspiring the student during teaching. Today She invited three staffs from student affairs. Here, we called guester speaker. They give students three topics. Particularly interesting is Laural gave the student 16 personality types. She suggested students do this test to help them know what kind of them. Through talking with Shelby,this course is student requested. Kieth who is their department also has a class about football team.

The first day in Student Activities
Today is the first day for me to take part in the student affairs. Mr Bouknight arranged me to the student activities this week. Shelby is the director of student activities. She soon give me arrangement for this week's work. Fortunately, I met Deb who is responsible for the propaganda through campus tv, newspaper,campus web. I'm interested 16 personaltiy and i did the test. What a coincidence. My result of test is the same as Deb. Then Deb want to adjust the schedule of all the semester. She invited me to visit the career service office. I met Amand again. They talked about the career schedule. I think Deb is likely the center of student affairs. Maybe she know everything about student affairs.
In the afternoon,I took part in two meetings about student affairs. One is Behavior Intervention Team meeting like Disciplinary Board, it consist of housing, wellness, police, counseling. They argued about dealing the students obey the rules and how to punish them.Meeting is not long,only one hour. High efficiency. The other is SGA Excutive Committee meeting, student organization. There are lots of difference between with my university. They have one president, two vice president, one security, and every grade have four people to be charged with their grade. In whole lander university, Only 20 students set up such an organization. Dr Park talked with all the Chinese students, I like his story, Share his own experience of reading when he was the students. I feel very enlightening. So I feel effective communication is needed.
This is my first class of Chinese. There are three persons. Two are Japanese they used to be in suzhou, China. They can speak Chinese. One is USA, but he can't speak Chinese. So it's difficult for me to teach them. Section one, I teach them pinyin. Section two, I separated them. Japanese taught by Li zi wei. I taught USA face to face. He is very clever. I taught him lots of greeting words. At last, we learned what they want to know about China. They need to know a lot of.

Originally I thought Asian Mum children particularly strict. But On Thursday, I heard Jeannie talking with her son. Her high hopes for her son when she was cooking, she continued exhort her son. I think contact parental love.Whether in China or in the USZ, Most of my mother hope that the children will be able to amount to anything

Open house
Boyoung takes part in running 5k contest. we got up early and arrived the Starting point. I saw some people doing preparation exercise. Today is too chilly. The organizers also provided hot chocolate and banana. They are really thoughtful Although today is Saturday, Open house is main activity in lander university. At first, I saw the upcoming events in web, I thought why we open the house, if we open the house, the house is not safe. In fact, open house is a way for high school students and their families to come to lander university to comprehend the study life of university.The Office of Admissions hosts two Fall and two Spring Saturday open house events, providing students with an opportunity to tour the beautiful campus and residence halls. Scene, I saw a lot of parents ask questions to the staff. I saw lots of student affairs people coming in. They are very patient to answer all kinds of problems to the Enquirer. Some students also were interested in the international office. Jeff smiled sweetly and answered lots of questions. Lots of volunteer came to university to help. I took some photos with mascot bearcat. Open house would like admission counseling in our university. All the college will take part in, but not all student affairs will participate. It will last one day.
In the afternoon ,I went to the main lake, this is huge and beautiful, but a bit cold.
