He smiled

He smiled as he tried to explain what it was about Americans that he found so amazing. By this time I am assuming most of the Chinese and Korean students are entering that phase where missing home is more powerful then being here. "Dream", he said " Americans dream". Good to know, I thought. He smiled really big..."Everyone here has dreams of what to become, big dreams. This I like. In China..we just become ...what is expected."

This one is SO true! When I ask high school students in China what university they want to go to, or what they'd like to do with their life--usually they have no answer. Sometimes it seems they don't even dare to dream.
