After finals，I was ready to move out．It wasn't too hard for me，but for a lot of my friends，it was a big event．After packing my suitcase and helping my friends move，it was time to say goodbye．I had reached the end of my first year in the university!

A friend from Chinese Taipei who is studying in Washington D．C．came to visit，so my brother and I took him sightseeing．But these were not this month's highlights．The high point was coming back home，a moment I'd been expecting since the day I left．

I arrived home early on the morning of May 15th．When I saw my parents，I gave them a big hug and kiss．Being at home with my parents，standing on this land，and feeling the humid and hot air，I knew I was home．The first thing I did was to go to Mei Mei for a big breakfast．It was so much better than the school cafeteria（自助餐厅）! Mei& Mei was just a start．There are so many foods I have to eat and so many friends I want to see．

The hot air is burning my face and the sweat（汗） is evaporating from my skin．I love this feeling．This is where I belong．

I’m Jack, and I am a middle school student. Yesterday was the most exciting day in my life. I was on TV! This is my first time on TV. In the evening, Mum, Dad and I were watching a TV programme in the sitting room and there I was! This is how it happened.

I was playing soccer in the park with my friends when a man and a woman came to us. The man had a camera. The woman had a microphone. “I’m from Channel 9,” she said. “Do you know the programme Kid’s Speak Out?” I did know it. I watched it often. It’s a weekly programme where kids say what they think about different things.

“Would you like to be on it?” the woman asked me.

I wanted to be on it and I thought my friends might also want to be on it, so I asked, “Can my friends be on it too?”

“Sorry, only one of you can,” the woman said. “You can talk about it and decide which of you is going to be on the programme.”

I asked my friends if they wanted to be on the programme. They didn’t, so I went on it. The woman asked me a lot of questions. I thought carefully and tried to give sensible answers. When she finished, she said I was one of the best kids she’d spoken to! I felt very proud of myself. My mum and dad were proud of me too!
