Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, strict man—not the kind of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager knowing little about life, I wanted a father who could the mysteries of the human journey. In college, when friends called home for , I would become for what I didn’t have.
Then one night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, he the problem with me. Obviously my knowledge of law helped him a lot. I talked through the problem with him, the motives of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies.
He patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I’m a man.”
My father is a scientist who has a good knowledge of the building blocks of nature. , human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized he was simply not skilled at people. It’s not in his to understand human desires.
It was no one’s that my father showed no interest in human emotions while I placed great importance on them. We are sometimes born more sensitive, and dreamy than our and become more curious, and idealistic than them. I, who knew my father as an intelligent man, had never understood his intelligence didn’t cover all of my feelings.
I believe that coming home has me years of questions and confusion. I nowadays consider my parents as people who have other relationships than just being my parents, relationships that and define them.
Best of all, I nowadays regard my parents as : people who ask me for advice; people who need my and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past in a view. Knowing them makes me feel safe in where I come from and where I’m going.

Girls are born to imagine, particularly those at the age of seventeen or eighteen. , I was one of them and sometimes I would go to extremes. I mean I tended to imagine too much. That was exactly what happened this time, me great embarrassment.
I was waiting for my train home at the station when a boy at my side. His beautifully-curved face, his fashionable clothing and everything else about him, was so that I just couldn’t help looking at him. What was more exciting was that , he was also stealing some at me, which made me blush(脸红) to the ends of my ears! Still, I tried to be calm and that nothing had happened. However, once again when our eyes met, I could hear my heart beating. I lowered my head to escape his eyes, but my thoroughly red face had made known .
To my pleasant surprise, my imagination came true this time, as the handsome guy was drawing near! “Oh, please! Don’t .” Look at me. I am so sweaty and sloppy(不整洁的). Please don’t ask for my telephone number. You know I will give it to you without , and that is so unladylike.
I was still struggling when he stood right in front of me. “Excuse me…” he said with a slight hesitation. His voice was so nice, but I wish I had not it. “I am sorry, but could you please give me my back? Yours is over there.” Oh my God! Nothing could have been more when I handed his bag back to him, as shame almost brought me to tears.
From that , I drew a big lesson: never imagine too much if someone just gives you a few glances.

It is three in the morning on a Tuesday, and I’m walking toward table eighteen, the one I call home. I pass the waiters, give a brief nod to the and take my seat. I the “usual,” water and peanut butter pie. Yes, I’m at an all-night diner.
I start to take out my books, full well that I will be on the same page of Socrates that I’ve been on for the better part of the semester. Of course, it’s —for my group that is. I wait for the empty chairs around me to be .
Just as the Muzak songs start to repeat themselves, Shana and Jenny walk in. I am with the usual big hugs and smiles. , the diner stops being a twenty-for-hour restaurant with bad service and becomes my place—my home the prisonlike dorm room. For the next couple of hours, we will joke about people we know, talk about books, reflect on the meaning of life, quote movies and new private jokes. Table number eighteen is our home.
During my senior year of college, I started going to the diner for a temporary escape from a dorm room that felt like it was closing in on me. Not to the phones, the stereo and the computer. How could anyone seriously to have good study habits? Some friends of mine told me about the place; they went there to study, and they really liked it.
So I tried it. It felt remarkably freeing. I start going there every night (except weekends, of course), and, believe me it was not because the pies were great either. Maybe it would force me to open my books and my would improve. Right? Well….
But that’s not the . I mean, anyone who has gone to college knows that it’s not only about forcing yourself to wake up at 7:45 A.M. (after you had gone to sleep two hours earlier) to listen to a professor spoon-feeding you information the significance of the Battle of Hastings. It is about finding a little haven where you can create what will be the most important thing in your life—yourself. At a school of thirty-five thousand people, I found a small place that was as to me as my Social Security number.
Through laughter, tears, learning, growing and the free ice cream, we found a sanctuary. A place where we could be ourselves.
