The New Way

Hey,

Jocelyn has been in the United States since January 16, 2010. This statement plays in my mind everyday with me counting the days since I've been here. I would rather count the days I've been here than count the days left for my stay in the US. I know. I know it is resentful to confess, but here I want to make a revelation, a MAJOR one. I am slowly changing into a new person, I hope. A better person, a better Jocelyn. Since stepping onto the lone star state, Texas, I'm amazed by how structured the state is and of course, the amiable people have warmed my heart. Not to forget, the wonderful host family I have. They are one of the nicest people I've ever met besides my parents.

I've learnt and still learning, that adaptation is the new way of living. I don't expect people to change for me, I change to adapt. That's the way for an exchange student. I never know what would happen next, so I am learning to not expect, trying hard indeed. This part of my journey would leave the deepest impact in my life; which I would remember forever. I struggle sometimes, but it doesn't matter, that would only make my experience more fruitful!

Enrolled in Pasadena High School, I stepped into a new life as an American teenager. It was different, still very different for me. But, I would still stick to AFS's saying, no right or wrong one, just differentlah...haha! New friends, definitely new perspective of life and absolutely a golden experience.

YES has changed my life greatly. It has given me a brand new life which gives me a promising future. I hope to promote YES to the younger generation. I want to tell them, YES, has inspired me to live beyond my boundaries, yet to not omit my roots. *crossed fingers* I shall be a better person once I return. However, I would still be mommy's and daddy's girl! I would still be the friend of my friends, the same Jocelyn Tang Phaik Lin!

Me encanta mi vida y la familia
