What Can You Ask For More?



In Summer 2007, I moved to Chicago and started my life as an international art student. This summer 2012, I am leaving this wonderful city to move on to another stage of life.
It's not that I decided to leave, and it's not that I didn't decide.
I have to leave because I am a foreigner with a student visa, and this visa is about to expire. I can stay if I take a possible job offer, I might be able to stay if I spent a fortune on a visa called the Artist Visa. For all of those that I thought of getting, I decided to let them all just went with it.

This photo was taken by a dear friend I have met in the third year of my life in Chicago. It was taken after two years I first met her in room 717, our beloved animation studio. Between those two years, I became her friend from being just her TA.
She taught me to open my heart, to be softer, to let go of stuff that has been on my shoulders for years. In this photo, there are stories within, there are secrets not to be revealed, but a great shot to sum up my four and a half year in Chicago.

Of course, this is just one of those photos that has been taken from one of my dear friends.

Different people see the different side of me, and that's quite natural. Or, I reveal what you helped me to reflect onto you.
Here I just want to put a little coma, a mild stone, an a promise. I will take the lessons I have learned and keep up with them. They are more like practices that need to be maintained.

With this photo on my album and in my life in America, what can you ask for more?
