Jewish Study Center

My MSC professor informed me that there was going to have a conference host on Apr. 19th, which was Dissent and Dissention: Approaching Ultra-Orthodoxy, the Wasserman Jewish Studies Center’s sixth annual conference. I went to the conference, it was a special experience to me. As we know, Hasidic community is distinguished from any other community. Hasidic community is a branch of Orthdox Judism, they follow different nome and practice Judism. The conference I attended was about the experience of how LBGT people recognize their identity and left their Hasidic community. Those people have to dealing with not only to leave their family, but also how to survive after they left their community. It was extremely tough decision to make to leave their community, since their family will be labeled OTC, and their sibling’s marriage will also be affected. For them, it is not only a decision
about to leave their religion or not, but live or die. I admire their great courage to overcome the difficulties, and I appreciate the Jewish Study Center host this lecture to help us understand and learn from these people who have great courage to chase the real self.

Writing Center

On April 5, Me and my friends went to Writing center, We have the same question about how to write thesis statement of our paper of English Writing class. It’s very tough to get A. All of us must redo our paper. Then I went to there, it is hard to make reservations. We also we have learned how to organize sentences and analyze the data. This is a little different between college and high school. My high school English teacher did not ask us too much about thesis statement, but college is difficult. He said my professor may want to see the point and evidence that can convince him. He make a certain examples. The tutor is very nice, and he help us figure out the question step by step. Finally I finish my paper,but I think I would not come to the Writing Center again, because it to hard to make a reservation. I tend to work there if I m profound knowledge in the future.

Writing Center is a good place to go!!!

Monologue

Waking down the street,

Trying to find another shadow besides me.

However, there’s no one and  no more.

I am alone.

Lights are alone.

Turn back to the street and hope to find a similar figure.

Do not hold the hope because whenever you lost love, it is meaningless.

 

People can make mistakes, but don’t make the same mistake. Socrates.

Major and Minor Fair

It is a great chance to attend the major and minor fair workshop. I went there with my friends and classmates. The workshop offered us useful information that how to choose a good major and minor in the college. A good major is really important to us to get a great work position in the future. Studying a language can be a really good choice to us to decide our minor in college. In addition, the professor were nice and they were patient to answer our questions.

I would like to choose a language as my minor, like Spanish, because my best friend can speak Spanish, which I think is really cool. And it is a great challenge for me to learn it, because it is so hard to pronounce ”r” sound for me.

Also, there were many delicious cookies for the comers. I did really had a great experience in that day.

Monologue

This week, my bicycle got stolen in mid town of Manhattan, New York City, the place where I love the most. I started questioning myself: why can this happened in Manhattan, the center of the world’s economics? I trusted the community in Manhattan with great amount of polices, and this still happened. Do I have to continuously pay attention to everything near me, or is it just a accident? I feel frustrated and from now on, I will not trust any others. A bicycle aren’t worth anything, but it shows the loophole of security in Manhattan.

Writing Center Workshop

On March 21st, I attended to the writing center workshop for how to write the thesis statement and strong supporting sentences. The professor told about data collection as well. In the class, she give us some handouts with examples and started to illustrate how to write a 
good thesis. Her lecture was so clear and it helped me a lot. After 
her explain, we did some exercises to reinforce what we gain from the 
lecture. It became easy writing when I followed the instruction that professor thought us and I could make a clear statement of my data resources collection. The workshop from writing center is really helpful. As an 
international student, using English to write is not easy for me. 
Workshop and writing center is a great tool to improve my academic 
writing skills.
Writing a good paper is not that easy. The best way to get a good grade not only needs to learn writing skills, but also needs us to practice a lot.

Writing Center

On April 4th, I and my friends went to writing center. In the writing center, we learned how write a topic sentence effectively and sufficiently.and I first know that topic sentence can locates at the end of paragraph.

We have discussed clear writing as if we wrote only individual sentences or intention. We also we have learned how to organize sentences so that open them with old information in the topic position, usually with a character as a subject. Then follow the subject with a verb that expresses a crucial action, and place the more complex information into the end of sentence.

Writing center is a great place to go.

Monolog

I am a flower. Who is the flower?Flower is me, but I cannot exactly say what it is. I feel like I was somewhere else before…in a different place, unpleasant, dangerous full of disgusting flowers. People trampled me…humiliated me…Now I am in a better place. In a meadow full of beautiful flowers, and they are like me! I really like my new place, I love the smell of nature, I love the rays of sun. It is not a dream anymore ! I am in a heaven.
