My childhood was full of events and unhappiness. Some of those events still thrill me. I spent my childhood in my hometown with my parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and my sisters. My grandparents and my parents loved me very much, so that make my two sisters were very angry on me. I often played with my grandmother, my father, and my sisters. In childhood we used to hide behind the door, under the bed, and whenever someone else come we try to make them fear, but i remember that my sisters always fought with me, and my grandmother always protected me and hit my sisters. At this time, my sisters didn’t like my grandmother and they didn’t want my grandmother take care of them when my parents were going to work. In 1993, my first day at school was one of my most memorable events. I went to school riding on the shoulder of my father. He took me to the school who asked me some questions. I was very nervous, but i couldn’t answer all of the questions. All of the teacher and classmates were very friendly and cooperative. My classmates became my playmates. Then my father sent me and picked me up every school day. When i was nine years old ,my life was totally changed because my father dead from a bad an accident. My whole family was sad and heartbroken. For me, i couldn’t accept the fact that my father died. I used to try to forget the bad person who makes my father’s an accident.After that, i moved to my grandparents home to stay with them because my mother couldn’t take care of three children at same time. My grandparents treated me well but my sisters were not because my mother had an income problem. During holidays, i need go to a place to get embroidery and do it with my mother and my sisters to earn money, so we were very poor at this time, but were so happy and support each other. However, I have had a best family in my life, and I love them very much until my life ends.

In 2016, i moved to Hawaii with my husband and my lovely daughter, i fell very strong homesickness, so i couldn’t sleep well, didn’t want to eat anything and i cried all the time when i was missing family. I stayed home and didn’t want to go outside. Also i couldn’t talk to my family by face time because if i saw my family i cried and i didn’t want my family worried about me.After six months, my husband bought a ticket for me and let me went to China to see my family. So i remembered i was going to China four times in two years until i was in HCC. When my daughter and i went to school, my time became abundant and busy. So i know study English is very important for me .I also i need change my mind and start enjoy my new life in U.S. Fortunately, my family is always nice and understand me. We almost keep in touch everyday and we share our happiness. So i don’t feel homesickness as before and i don’t have much urge to go home.Right now, i miss my home and my family when i am writing homesickness ,but it is not serious anymore because i know their fine. So if i have time, i will go back China to visit them once a year. As for me, i think the homesickness comes from my missing and thoughts. How about you?

My name is Wenjuan, Chen, but I like to be Susana by my friends, family, and classmates. I was born in Anhui, China. My family isn.t moving a lot . There are stay our own country or beside our country, but I moved to Hawaii when I was 29. I have a big family in China, but my big sister is living in her husband’s home. Sometimes, I fell sad and boring…. it is because I miss them very much. Right now, I have a family and I have a cute daughter. She is going to preschool and playing with her friends everyday. My husband is a good worker and he is a project manage. I am going to school and study learn English. Also I am going to school every school day. I make friend from school. My life is change a lot and I start enjoying my life….But after a year I hope I can find a job and not being a housewife anymore.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
