IT WAS NOT A LONG DAY BUT ITS MOMENT LAST FOREVER
A MEMORY OF WONDERFUL BOSTON
It was last year as I remember it. Such a very
exciting moment when a very good friend of mine, Miss. Linda told me and other
friends to join with a Christian conference on leadership in Boston. It is an
annual conference held by such International Organization, which organizes and
works with international students who come for study in America. My friends and
I were (lily and me) starting our journey from Rochester to Boston by a bus. The
bus itself was a horrible experience. Honestly, it was the first and last
nightmare of the Boston trip. The chairs rows are not like typical public bus,
and I don’t think the bus was an good option for long trip. But, thank God that
in the middle of our journey, there was a very kind old man who welcomed lily
and me to moved to his car, which was so much better in comparison to the bus.
We met bunch of South Koreans students inside of the car. They were very nice
and we talked a lot along the way.
Lily
and I arrived in Boston when everything already dark, I don’t even remember
what time was it. We were so exciting to see our, another friend, Diego who
arrived already in Boston by train from another state. Diego and I were staying
in the same host family, Mr. Jhon and Mrs. Lily. It was such a bless to being
with them at that moment, I personally thanked them till now for such a
hospitality they offered to us, as a family in the very fondest day of
thanksgiving which happened to be, my very first time Thanksgiving day in my
life, in the USA. The next day, our host family, Mr. John and His children,
William and Sarah were inviting us to watching the most dangerous game ever I
saw in my life, American’s football. But it was worth it though, I guess,
everything is worth it when it is happening for the very first time. And at
night, we were celebrating the thanksgiving dinner. I still remember that moment
very clearly in my mind as I’m writing this sentence. thank God for them very
profusely for made that night imprinted in memory as I acknowledge as one of
the fondest times during my staying in America.
In the next day was the main
agenda of the conference, “how to keep the integrity among the corruption”. The
speaker was from Argentina who is working for World Bank. A Very wonderful
conference that teaches young generations to keep their integrity for the Glory
of Lord. When it finished, then we continued our journey to visiting some
places in Boston, I couldn’t help myself stop admire Boston in its unique. I
said to myself, this city is one of the most wonderful and beautiful cities in
America that I think, people, especially International students must come and
visit this city, during their staying here in the America. Not only the
historical destinations that have been offered by city itself but also the
panorama of the city and architectures, which seem so classic and feeling like
European aura.
Till we back, to our own habitat, Nazareth College 4245 East
Avenue Rochester, NY. I still feel so grateful for everything, which had
happened in Boston. I thank God for Linda, for my Host family, for +Lily Wang , For +Diego Gómez and also for Uday, and for every single person whom I met there. It was
not a long day but its moment last forever.
