thank you. This past weekend, I learned to be very appreciative of everyone. I can’t believe I only went 4 days of not being at home, and I got home sick. I texted my mom, and she texted me back saying “I miss you too”. Eating dinner without her.. not sleeping in my own bed.. not having someone care about me every second. It was a very different feeling.

Today, I had badminton practice. Badminton has always been a very iffy subject with me, because honestly, I’m not the best at it. at all. I want to get better so much, but it’s just so difficult. I get sad because of it very easily. The entire year last year, I was just frustrated at everything. I want to thank Eunice, Eric, Chen, Tiffany, Larry, and Corly the most for helping me with badminton last year.
This year, I cannot believe what an amazing person our coach is. Jon is just like, the nicest person ever. Really, I want to thank you so much. No other person has tried to help me as much as you have, and you’re still helping me, both personally and with badminton.

I’m blessed to have so many people care about me. While I was gone this weekend, I got a lot of texts from people saying they missed me, and when I came home, I had people like Jake, Tiffany, Andy, Cassie, and Noah tell me they missed me. I was welcomed with welcome backs from everyone, and it was the most endearing thing ever c: I felt really lucky to have these people as friends.

I’m thankful for my Key Club officers, who make me a better person. They teach me a lot of things, and they deal with everything I dish out at them. I’ve never met more hardworking people, and I’m so glad I have Key Club to keep me sane. Ying, although I get mad at her a lot, we always have our laughs and I do love her to death. Nicklaus, who is a big jerk, is actually one of my best friends. Amy, Gordon, Cathy, Cassie, Alex, Vivian, Brian c: I can’t thank you all enough. Words cannot describe how glad I am to have met you all, and to be given the opportunity to work with you all as well.
My Chinese Club Cabinet is the bomb, and we all stuck together though thick and thin during Lunar Show. We cried together, we laughed together, and we all danced together. My rocks. Cassie, Andy, Tiffany, Tina, Trisha, Nicklaus, Cathy, Andrew. Even if I say something dumb, you guys don’t make fun of me. And we’re all having Andy’s birthday dinner/cabinet meeting tomorrow c: I’m so excited to see everyone this break.

Jake Pham is the sweetest little kid ever. Wesley is like, the funniest guy ever, and I’m so glad he’s co-captaining Dragon Boat with me this year. Even though I hated him in the beginning, he’s grown on me. Tri, Jon, Cyrus, CJ, they always make me laugh. Whenever I’m feeling down, although they don’t know it, just talking to them always makes me feel better.
Arthur, LeAnn, Susan. I can’t even start with you guys. The entire like 10 years I’ve had with you guys is too hard to put into words :T

My brother always takes care of me, and he’s always checking up on me. Even though he’s busy with college, he always makes time for me. It makes me really happy, and extremely blessed. My dad’s always hard at work, and he makes so much effort to keep up with everything I’m doing. I miss you. My mother is always taking care of me, sending me to all of my activities.. making time to help me out with things.

I don’t know. I mean like, really, there’s too many people to name for everything. Some people compliment me and say I’m amazing and stuff, but really, I’m only the person I am today because of every single person I’ve met. The little things add up. I can’t say how thankful I am to have met each and every one of you, but I’m EXTREMELY lucky.

Especially with All-State, I mean, Mr. Kaldy did so much to help me. Judy taught me so much, and kept polishing my song for me for months! c: <3 
May’s dad took the time to send me and everyone else there, AND back! AHHHHHHHH. Everyone was so supportive of me this year too, when I made it in.
Allan Tang is the like, nicest guy EVER in my life that I have met. Holy crap Allan. Brandon, you always say the nicest things to cheer me up.
And with Conclave coming up for Key Club, I want to thank everyone who’s supporting me. Especially my mother. Come Saturday, win or lose, I will still be the happiest person I can be.

Thank you, all! :)
