Before I came to Omida, I almost looked at JackWang, Jake and Joe's space with great curiosity. I have a preliminary idea of the job content, and I firmly believe that this is the type of job I really want to try. Later, I arrived at Omeida in Yangshuo with great expectation. When I first arrived at Ogilvy University, I was shocked to see my kind aunt take me to 206 and open the dormitory door. Neatly folded sheets and bedding, at first glance, are all pink stripes, which look particularly clean and comfortable, or their favorite colors. Air-conditioning fans and water heaters are equipped with WiFi, and you can feel the tranquility of the back hill when you open the curtains. I am really satisfied! Much better than I expected.

After I settled down, I immediately ran to the other two dormitories to say hello to them. I remember Vivian opened the door with a sense of drowsiness at first, but she told me with a gentle and polite smile that they came after taking a nap. I had a chat with Cao Yao, a fellow villager from Hunan who came on the same day. It felt as if we had known each other for a long time, so Yao was my first friend in Europe and America. After that, whether it's a meeting or not. Later in the evening, everyone came to my dormitory to introduce each other. Before we met, we saw that their names were already familiar in the group, and then it was wonderful to match them one by one, although at first we were always stupid enough to distinguish Chen Jieyu from Pan Shao, and thought GiGi was like spring.
? Later, I finally met the leaders at the meeting, and found that they were not as serious as I thought, but very humorous and approachable, and I also saw that everyone could often play jokes on them easily. I remember having dinner with everyone for the first time. I was very stiff and didn't talk. Then Wang Qicheng told me to eat more peppers in a joking way. Suddenly I felt the kindness of my hometown, so I quickly adapted to the new environment here.
? I still remember the first morning meeting, I felt very confused and uneasy, because I didn't come to the training, and I was worried that if I couldn't keep up with the progress, I would definitely have a lot of trouble. Fortunately, my first batch of students are really easy to manage, which is a good start for me. The first batch of students impressed me the most. Before that, I wouldn't think that strangers could build close feelings in just a few days, but since then,
At first, they all thought I was a tour guide, so later they simply called me sister tour guide. Now they still keep in touch with me and send video chats from time to time. It's really good. It is fate that makes people who have nothing to do have an intersection. In this job, I feel sincerely happy and satisfied.
Leaders and foreign teachers also brought joy to everyone. At one time, people always gave them a special set of expression packs. When I see them, I always laugh until my stomach hurts. Let's see who is the walking expression pack.
Each of them has different characteristics: Wang Qicheng, although he speaks loudly, is actually excellent. He always gives us red envelopes and fruit benefits and takes us to eat big meals. I also like listening to inspirational chicken soup that he often cooks in meetings. It's really meaningful and full of positive energy. I remember him saying that overcoming difficulties is not an empty slogan. Very abstract, but it may actually be around us, such as overcoming the summer heat to go to work. Getting up one or two hours early every day will bring different changes, and I have also seen my own changes. I used to go out in the sun for a month and walk freely in the sun. I like roads very much, too. I am worried about how to guide students who are unfamiliar with all routes to West Street, and I am afraid that students will get lost themselves. I didn't expect to be familiar with it for a long time, just like having a map in my head, which made me understand a truth.
? Wonderful, very humorous, bringing a lot of joy to the team, but at the same time without losing the majesty of administrative leadership. In addition, I didn't expect some sadness. Several times, he felt like crying when he saw the students leaving the camp. I spent the next four periods with him. After listening to his morning meeting for a whole month, I kept all the warnings about safety in mind. I still feel kind when I see wonderful photos.
? Edison, compared with them, seems to talk less. He only occasionally sees joking with everyone while eating, and most of the rest of the time only sees him sitting in front of the computer and working hard.
Mr. Chen, who is diligent, polite and versatile, can always be seen busy repairing things in the dormitory when something goes wrong, and managing accounts clearly and meticulously.
Foreign teacher: Nicole, my favorite foreign teacher, is lively and lovely, kind and unpretentious, and considerate. ?
? Santos, arrogant and a little childish, his eyes will light up at the sight of fish and soybean milk, and he will show everything he likes and hates. Although I didn't like his behavior of spoiling only one or two little boys at a time at first, it turned out that he was quite cute.
? Ike and Wesley don't have much contact at ordinary times, but they also know that they are friendly and easy to get along with. And Laura, Co, Camilla, etc. , are so beautiful, gentle and friendly.
In this "international" environment, I have never met so many foreigners, including foreign teachers in summer camps and foreigners I met on my way out. I was so happy that I suddenly had the illusion that I was in a foreign country. That's great. In the process of taking students to communicate with them, I also got many opportunities to communicate with them. I feel that I speak more English than I do with foreign teachers at school. I am also careful not to make mistakes when I communicate with foreign teachers at school. At least here, I communicate with them in the most relaxed and natural state, and I am no longer so afraid of making mistakes. It is also a kind of progress and a kind of harvest for me …
? Colleagues have sunny smiles, Yao with a good personality, dedication to the violin, An Yan who shares my dream, Pan Shao who is patient and delicate, Michelle who is conscientious and responsible in her work, Vivian who is as gentle and beautiful as ever, Steven who is diligent and conscientious in her work, and Cece who is particularly lively and lovely. Cai Mei (I want to say that the dance she taught us is really beautiful and likes it) is an approachable scarlet, a generous GiGi, a simple and low-key Ling Yan with exotic eyes, a patient Lenka, a beautiful CoCo with wet hair, an Andy with a sister fan, and the youngest schoolmaster Michael who is very popular with all sisters. It's really good to have this team full of laughter this summer.
? Last time I saw them send a circle of friends to express their "grateful heart" in sign language, I'm sorry I didn't participate. I sincerely thank Omida for giving me the opportunity and platform to grow up, and thank the leaders for their guidance and care. With Yangshuo in Emei, it has become a beautiful poem everywhere, giving me a sense of belonging and attachment. I believe that I will feel at home when I go to Yangshuo in the future.
All good things must come to an end. Yesterday, today, I saw the sadness of parting from my friends and the group infected me, and I felt an impulse to cry from the bottom of my heart. Before that, Wang Qicheng suggested that I record a video and give a speech at the scene. I think this idea is really good, and I actually have a lot to say in my heart, but unfortunately, I am easily distracted by that selfie video, my brain is easily blank, and my expression is serious and unnatural. I can't seem to speak, and I'm always stuck. I haven't recorded it completely all day, so I have to give up this way. Maybe I'm really not good at expressing some long emotional words orally, and it's insincere to say them simply, which drives me crazy.
I still remember when I first came back, my relatives and friends asked me how it felt to work there. I replied that this is really a very good and meaningful job. I know I can't explain to them clearly what is good and what is meaningful in such a short time. Only after personal experience will you understand that good feelings are all in the bits and pieces that enrich your life every day, so abstract that you don't know how to describe them in detail.
I always want to go through all the photos taken in the previous summer camp, and it will be very reassuring to look at the camp clothes and work cards occasionally. I miss the song "Affectionate Feelings" and the last bow song I saw in butterfly spring, and the sentence "Let's drink, shout, shout, stop …" and our camp songs are getting more and more together. I miss Moon Mountain and Yulong River, which I have climbed and walked many times.
? I think Omeida has such a magic power. Everyone who has worked there will eventually fall in love with it and miss it. Maybe they don't know how to cherish at first, and they will count how many days are left before the end. It is really close to the day when they leave, and the sad tears will be hard to restrain. A few months ago, I didn't know that one day in the future, the words Yangshuo and Emei would have such a profound impact on my life. I will meet such a respectable and lovely leader, such a flesh-and-blood team, such a group of sentient beings and righteous students.
I once again lament the intoxicating beauty of Yangshuo, the agility of loving the landscape and the charm and nostalgia of the night scene, because I have lived in Emei for more than a month and feel at home.
