Visit to Williams College
For our last Wednesday college visit we drove to Williamstown, Massachusetts to visit the top liberal arts college in the US. The girls enjoyed the tour around the old, ivy covered buildings with our friendly tour guide Ashley, a visit to the town's small Main Street for ice cream and dinner at the school's dining hall.

Fun times at the candy store!

                   Our best summer memories 

Ruka: I really enjoyed talking with everyone in the Alcove!  If I go to the Alcove, I could get many opportunities to hang out with my friends and get know each other. Also, I liked having conversation with proctors (Zoe and Sarah) and counselors (Charlotte, Ashley, Nora, Kelsie and Rira). There were a lot of laughs and happy faces.

Sidi: On this fancy night, all the fancy girls showed up at a fancy dinner in fancy dresses! Each fancy girl had gotten a fancy apple with her name on it on the plates!

Moet: Dance party!

We had a dance party in 2ecafe.

I was really excited and everyone was wearing a beautiful dress and make up. We enjoyed it very much. It was an amazing memory.

Cindy: My favorite part was the ceremony night! We had a great time together! I LOVE U guys

Mayu: My favorite memory is New York City.

We spent an amazing time together.And I was so glad that I could see the Statue of Liberty. Then we went to the wax museum. It was so exciting.

I was so happy to spend the day.

I want to visit another places with everyone.

Preparation, Dinner and Ceremony

Most girls wore traditional clothes for the ceremony. Japanese wore Yukata, Chinese wore Chinese dress--Qi Pao, Voon wore a Thai dress, and others wore dresses. A few people wore make up and earrings for the dinner and ceremony. 

After the preparation, we had dinner in the dining hall. The hall was all decorated nicely. There were green apples with our name tags on and there were some flowers in lemon jars which were very fashionable. We also had a celebration cake which was made especially for Emma. It was incredible. 

So beautiful!

After the dinner, we went to a bigger hall. There, we had our good-bye ceremony. First, the principal gave us a speech, then, Ms.Wendy gave each student their graduation certificate. 

Also, our proctors and houseparents delivered a speech. Finally, we made a web of memories with string. Each person shared their best memory in the summer program and cut a part of string to make a bracelet so that we can keep our sweet memories. Thanks to all the teachers and the girls who participated in the decoration and the dinner and the ceremony.

    We enjoy hanging out in the alcove where we can talk, play games, tell jokes and have so much fun with everyone!! We laugh and sing crazily in our dorm rooms every night. We hide behind the doors just to scare people that are walking pass or coming out of the room. We discuss about the off-campus activities and screamed when we have another field trip. 

    We had such a wonderful summer and it will always be our magnificent memory to remember forever:)
