Ocean Ye Jun Choi:
If you compare love as water, you are an ocean. You share tons of water with others, but you still have enough. After I see the ocean, I realized that I was thirsty. You are an ocean, and I am a desert. You shared water with others, and I protected from others. I thought I protected, but I actually lost it. I just want to stay in your ocean, and it means it's time to leave. It's time to go back to the desert, and tell them how beautiful the ocean was. Then, you will be an ocean that I can see every day, and I will be an oasis in desert.At right, Xu Lu, an exchange student from Heilongjiang, China, shared another heartfelt message to all who made such a significant difference in her life, sharing her time with the Peterson host family, as well as the Colemans.
