New friends
[Below are writings initiated by Yi, before, during, and after we spent two days with mom’s friend from college, Vivian, and her son, Terrell.]
6/30, Thu
Tomorrow I will meet a new friend. I am a little bit nervous. I am afraid that I will make s mess. I like to be with my family only. I don’t know if they will be mean. They might be very strict. I will be my best. I will try to learn how to make new friends.

[in the morning]
I am very nervous.
[End of day]
I had a nice day today. It was lots of fun. It was the first time that I hung out with my friends. We had lots of fun. It is wonderful to have people who accept me as who I am. I feel amazing that I can just be myself. I want to spend more time with them.
7/2
[in the morning]
I had early dreams. In my dreams, I was having a great time. I was talking to my friends. I am very happy. I am flying.
[in the evening]
Today I had another great day. It was great to spend time with my friends. I am very happy that I can make new friends. I like them very much. They are very friendly and kind. Vivian is very creative and smart. Terrel is very funny and smart. I wish they live nearby. I wish they are my neighbors. But they are going back to China. It makes me sad, very sad.
