Time flies, and before I know it, I have been in the United States for two months. The return date is approaching, but I feel a deep sense of reluctance in my heart.
When I was sitting in my colleague's car, I couldn't help but feel melancholy. I watched the buildings passing by outside the window and wanted to remember them deeply.
In fact, it’s not just the beautiful buildings that I’m reluctant to part with, but also the people and things here.
Two months in the United States, it feels like a dream, and I am grateful for everything I have encountered.
In the early summer of 2019, I took a plane to the United States with a little nervousness and a lot of expectations. As the plane broke through the clouds, encountered the vast deep blue, and crossed the Pacific Ocean, after more than ten hours, I finally arrived at the place that made me feel
The United States is a strange yet familiar country. It is also a country that is always mentioned in textbooks and English listening materials.
When I got off the plane, I saw my supervisor, Ms. Michelle, waiting for me at the baggage claim area with a hand-drawn drawing written by herself, which said "Welcome Xuemei". I hurried up to greet me, and Michelle shook my hand. I was surprised and touched.
It also calmed my anxiety and nervousness of arriving in a foreign country for the first time.
While I was waiting for my luggage, Michelle was waiting for me quietly. Unexpectedly, my luggage and my companion’s luggage never showed up, making Michelle wait for so long. I felt very embarrassed because the plane was delayed and she was already waiting for me at the airport.
It's been several hours.
After not seeing our luggage for a long time, Michelle took us to the baggage retrieval office to go through the formalities. After the arrangements were made, Michelle drove me back to the town. Along the way, we were accompanied by bright sunshine, blue sky and white clouds, rolling green mountains, and the valleys on both sides of the road.
The blooming pink Albizia julibrissin makes me feel extremely familiar and surprised. Albizia julibrissin is one of my favorite plants. I didn’t expect that in the summer of the United States, which is half a world away, her figure is everywhere, floating in the air.
With a light fragrance.
On the way to the town, Michelle played her favorite music, and we talked and laughed all the way, while the mountains and green forests of Tennessee flew by our side.
During this short time together, I felt the care and respect an American lady gave to a Chinese girl.
Michelle took the initiative to communicate with me. We slowly got to know each other from topics such as preferences, interests, family, etc. She always slowed down her speaking speed and repeated patiently, trying to make me understand every word she said.
When I apologized for my poor speaking, she complimented me on my speaking, and finally she said that when you leave the United States, your speaking will be better because everyone here speaks English.
I don’t know whether it’s the warm sunny days, distant mountains, and blue sky and flowing clouds in Tennessee that make me feel at ease, or whether the time with Michelle is so relaxing and enjoyable that I actually forget about the fatigue of traveling and jet lag, and also forget about the things I need to do.
Go worry about lost luggage.
Driving closer and closer to the destination Pigeon Forge, we all call it Pigeon Forge. I fell in love with this town almost at first sight. Sunshine, music and laughter filled this town, and there were all kinds of tourist attractions in the town.
The buildings in the park are also colorful, but the colors are comfortable and the styles are unique, and there are almost no duplicates.
Looking around, you can see the continuous Great Smoky Mountains in the distance, with undulating mountains. When you look back, you can see a long, clear river running through the town, and crape myrtles in full bloom among the green trees.
It's like a fairy tale town! Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it can be said that the Feng Shui is excellent.
Michelle took me to Island, where I work, and after completing the on-boarding procedures, Michelle gave me a map and asked me to wander around and get familiar with the environment.
There are many shops on the island, and the buildings are also colorful, just the right light color. The island is full of sunshine and music. The white Ferris wheel rotates slowly against the background of blue sky and white clouds. The musical fountain dances to the rhythm of the music, and the happy children
Grinning, leisurely people are walking or sitting quietly, enjoying the bright sunshine.
I work in the Margaritaville island hotel on the island. The hotel environment is excellent. The main color is my favorite light blue, and the interior decoration is also very exquisite.
My job is in the guest room, which is a job that is more suitable for me in this project. I work indoors and will not be exposed to the sun. When I clean the room alone, I can also listen to music, books and articles, and I have a little germaphobia.
, when everything is put in order, there will be a little happiness.
Of course, I am also very surprised and happy about the tips I receive occasionally.
My colleagues are also very kind to me. Sometimes I receive small gifts and snacks from everyone. When I first got familiar with the work, everyone was patient and taught me carefully. Every time I didn’t understand, they would say: "Let me show
you." Every time I meet a guest in the corridor, everyone will smile at you and say hello to each other, and some guests will say to you sincerely: "Thank you!" At this time, even though the body is tired, the heart is very happy, as if
It also has a cheering effect.
There is an onboarding meeting one week after joining, where we are introduced to the company's size, rise, values, etc., as well as employee requirements, etc.
The company's working environment and atmosphere are very good, and I can clearly experience the corporate culture and atmosphere.
