"Morning outside my Airbnb in Rome"

Spring Recollections
"This picture represents some of my favorite memories of this semester, making the JV roster after over a year of training by myself for hours and finally seeing the hard work pay off. We’ve gone through ups and downs throughout the year but it keeps us grounded, towards our end goal of winning it all."
"This picture is a snapshot of the time I went to the opera for a Chorus field trip! We saw the production Madama Butterfly, and it was really fun to go out of school with my friends. I like this photo in particular because I made it accidentally blurry, but I feel like the smudges make it seem like an impressionist painting."
"I was out trick or treating with my friends on Halloween. This is my favorite memory this semester because I hadn't seen the two friends in the picture in a while, and I was really happy to see them again. We had a lot of fun and we stayed out until really late."

Semester Snapshots
"Something about the song (I AM by IVE) just clicks with my brain. I like playing it on repeat when I feel out of it."
"I chose this picture because it reminds me of eating good with my family for thanksgiving. It makes me feel happy that I have a caring and loving family."
"I picked this picture because I had it for a long time and it hasn’t left my side, it is such a cute bear and I just love how it looks. I choose this song (Wellerman by Nathan Evans) because the song interpretation in my opinion is hunting for their own supplies."

Harvest of Happiness
"This is a picture of me and my grandma when we went to Flushing Meadows Corona Park. We visited the Unisphere and even made a detour to the zoo near the park. I hardly ever spend time with my grandma because I can't make that time, so we were both happy to spend a day together. My grandma means a lot to me, she took care of me as a kid when my parents worked, and is overall a really kind person."
"That is me and my dad. We took that picture while returning to New York from Florida by car. I told my dad to check out Washington D.C. on the way back and so we visited the Washington Monument and that’s when we took this photo. My dad means the world to me because he has been with me since the start and has helped me get past difficult situations and decisions."
"This picture shows the same stuffed unicorn I gave to my little cousin a few years ago. I had it for years when I was a kid, and it provided me a lot of comfort when I was little. So, I gave it to my younger cousin for her birthday to also serve her as a comfort during difficult times."

"Sushi is good :)"
"For Christmas me and my extended family met up to have a big feast. This picture shows all the desert we had, which was super tasty. It included cheesecake, macarons, fruit, and much more. I also had another snack called the Oey Oey but I didn’t get permission to take a photo of it ☹️☹️☹️."
"This is Hot Pot. A dish that a lot of asian people enjoy. You can put anything you want in the pot and enjoying it with family is the best."

Festive Feasts Showcase
"I chose this picture because it’s a collection of all the pumpkins my family and I picked. This is one of the Halloween traditions we like to do, and we set all 5 of them up on our stoop. We got the pumpkins at a farm while we were upstate, which is why they’re such diverse colors and shapes (the black pumpkin is called a black cat!)."
"Banana: The four seasons"
"I picked this picture because my friend and I were going around our neighborhood as Pokémon. A Charmander and a Pikachu. We had lots of fun and received a lot of candy."

"Well.. I was gonna study for history midterms but I was like nahhh I can do that tomorrow so u ended up practicing some songs I'm learning on the guitar instead. Photo above is me picking up my guitar pick cuz I dropped it in my guitar 😭"
"It was great. We don't see each other too often because our schedules are different. It has been a hectic time with all the tests and homework, but I was able to unwind and spend some time talking to them."
"I read Kadohata’s “A Place To Belong” and it was pretty good. It’s about a young Japanese American girl figuring her life out the aftermath of WW1 and being rejected by her own birth country. I always enjoy a good historical fiction."

Self-Care Week: 30 Minutes of You!
"I spend time with my family and eat a huge meal together. It ranges from turkey and mash potatoes to hotpot. I enjoy the food nevertheless."
"For Thanksgiving, my parents and I always drive to Pennsylvania to spend the holiday with my dad’s side of the family. A few days before leaving for Pennsylvania, my dad and I make cranberry sauce together, which is our signature contribution to the dinner feast. The morning of, we watch the Macy’s parade from our hotel room tv and visit Longwood gardens if it’s not completely freezing outside."
"In my family, we celebrate by going out to a fox hunting cabin in Virginia. Pretty much everyone on my dad’s side of the family is there, and everyone has a signature dish that they always make. But my favorite part is this: after everyone’s eaten, we recite poems and sing songs. It’s super fun!"

2021-2022
"My family celebrated Chinese New Year. We eat food with the entire family. There a few dishes like fish and dumplings that are always on the table as we eat due to it having a good meaning. My family also cleans before the New Years in order to remove the bad luck from the previous new year. We also don’t clean or cut our hair during new year because it is like removing your good luck from the new year."
"My family and I celebrate Chinese New Year. We would partake in a number of traditions around that time of year. My favorite parts are the giving and receiving of red envelopes and feasting on authentic Asian cuisines."
"My family celebrate Christmas. We usually have family gatherings to eat hot pot and exchange gifts at my house."
