ALC1-2007@Stanford--summarization

in sum up, ALC1-2007@Stanford University is the best summer class that i've ever experienced in my life.

i think it is not an ending, it is just a beginning!

once we are the ALC1 students, we will become the ALC1 members forever.

as i said in the talent show, my love will be in ALC1 forever eventhough that i have already graduated from ALC1.

i really miss all the hosts,all staff in Stanford University, all japanese friends, all korean friends in ALC1 this year.

i hope w we will meet soon in the future.

I

Love

You

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

much!!!

best wishes,

8/28-farewell banquet....soooooo sad!!

i can't believe that this is the last day that i live in america.
i really don't want to leave america!!!
i want to stay here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


but now i have to accept this sorrowful ending.....

today we leave yosemite for SF hotel to have a farewell banquet.

in the banquet, almost everyone cried together.

unavoidable, i cried soooooo much in the farewell banquet. i really don't want to leave all ALC1-2007 friends that time.

time flies.
i can't imagine that it is so fast for one month.

i will remember and miss all my friends in ALC1.

DON'T SAY "GOOD BYE"

we just leave for a while.

we will get together soon!!!!

8/26-Yosemite National Park trip

i have already been eager to visit yosemite for lonn time!

after the trip there, i am sure that it is the most wonderful trip that i've ever experienced in my life.

and i also overtook my limit to finish 95% Half Dome trip!
altough i was afraid of climbing to the yop of the Half Dome, i still admire my bravary to challenge myself.

i wish that i will challenge the Half Dome in the future.

8/24-Graduation Luncheon

oh, today is the final day at Stanford University!!!!

i am soooooooo sad that we will leave here tomorrow!

we had a final "Graduation Luncheon" today in downtown Palo Alto.

and the restaurant is one kind of a chinese restaurant.
in the restaurant, we talked all about our life in ALC1 at Stanford.

when we were accepting the certification, i cried a lot without reasons.
maybe at that time i was thinking about that we have no chance in the future to attend the class at Stanford University.

Maria Marin is my TD class teacher.
Andrea is my EC class teacher.

i love their class at Stanford.

and i really love the two teachers.
i will miss them after i come back to Taiwan.

8/23-my final oral presentation

this is the last day that i attended the class at Stanford University.

i was nervous today because this was the first time i did such a formal oral presentation in "English"!

my topic is "social welfare in america"

although my topic is more serious than others, i thought i still did a good job in the oral presentation.

beyond my expectation, i could spoke in english fluently than before.
and i didn't feel nervous that much.

i like this kind of way to join the class. the way in the class in america really changed me a lot especially my attitude toward the class.

8/21--google visit

actually, i've been waited for this chance to visit google company for a long time. and i was soooo lucky that my name was post in the visit list.

when we visited the google company, it was really what i heard from some magazines and news on tv. the welfare there is pretty good. no wonder the stff there work so hard to build such an internet kindom.

we also got many junkfood and cookies and beverage form the restaurant inside the buildings. it was ok because the food ther is free for us!!haha!!
i also learned a lot about the way that they operate this big company. it was such a whole new experience for me to know a worldwide company deeply. i really cherished this experience. and i strongly made up my mind to study hard to enter google company!

8/20--Lecture by professor Larry Diamond!

today, we had a special lecture by professor Larry Diamond. he is Georgina's professor at stanford university. today's topic was a lot about the democracy in asian country especially in korea and taiwan. the reason why he didn't talk a lot about japan is that he thought that japan has already been a well-democratic country.

before this lecture, he came back from taiwan a few days ago. so he talked a lot about taiwan's democracy. i learned a lot form him because he gave me some new conceptions about the democracy in taiwan. moreover, he compared the process of democracy between taiwan, korea and japan.

unfortunately, although the lecture was quite wonderful, peter tsai, a taiwanese fell asleep in the lecture.the following is the picture he slept
it was such a funny picture!! haha!!!
