今年是重新学习成为一个初学者、并在各种面孔和情绪中寻找自我的一年。6年前，我写下这样一句话："失去视觉，获得在茂密森林中自由漫步的感觉"。当回顾刚刚结束的学年时，这句话再次引起我深深的共鸣。（仍然可在我的写作账号Tears__in__Rain上找到这首诗的全文）

在为奥林匹克之梦付出多年的奉献和牺牲中，我以滑冰为生。然后，在过去的6个月里，我放下我自以为熟知的一切，踏入一个我既没有经验也没有方向感的新世界。在经历了4.5年的空白期后，我直接跳入深水区，意志力支持着我度过许多艰难而孤独的夜晚，几天前，这一切终于圆满结束了。

这段时间让我深深地体会到家庭的简单快乐和家中的小小舒适。沐浴在加州的夕阳下、呼吸着新鲜的红杉林空气、身着Dinner Service NY的同时，感觉从未如此美妙。

This year has been about learning to be a beginner all over again and searching for myself amidst a whirlwind of faces and emotions. 6 years ago, I wrote the line “losing sight is gaining sense, wandering freely in a forest dense”. That line resonates deeply as I reflect on the recently concluded school year. (You can still find the full poem on my writing account Tears__in__Rain)

Throughout years of dedication and sacrifice for the Olympic dream, I lived and breathed skating. Then, in the past 6 months, I put aside everything I thought I knew and stepped into a new world where I possessed neither experience nor directional security. Jumping right into the deep end after a combined 4.5 gap years, I willed myself through many difficult and lonely nights to a successful conclusion a few days ago.

This time away has given me a profound appreciation for the simple joys of family and small comforts of home. Soaking in the California sunset and inhaling fresh redwood air while dressed in Dinner Service NY never felt so good.
