My heart should break for people who have nothing, and sympathize (never look down on) people whose experiences and opportunities for life and travel and learning have been narrower. I really want God to expand my heart that way. <br /><br /> Happy lists are one of my favorite things!

...I totally get it. I feel this way sometimes too!<br /><br />My course is almost all International students from China and even though I am Chinese, I was brought up in the UK so lead a very different lifestyle! It's interesting and you certainly learn a lot about yourself when you realise how different or even, unique you are compared to other people!Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507258879080813156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580722556967642972.post-67077349952351151932010-03-05T02:34:25.021+02:002010-03-05T02:34:25.021+02:00Aw.

And though our class levels have small differences, we all sort of blend together. I'm glad you're getting along with everyone though!<br /><br />Hmm and here's something for happy. You get to call a country that has thousands and thousands of years worth of history home. For most of the people I know, the idea of seeing Egypt isn't even something they can comprehend, much less being able to live there!S.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796553769649010371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580722556967642972.post-78095681316878843352010-03-05T01:51:12.290+02:002010-03-05T01:51:12.290+02:00Sara, sara, sara,

In school there were a lot "skangers" (bad-mannered, sluts, bullies, no ambition, caused trouble, etc, etc) and my upbringing made me avoid those groups at all costs and so, all through school I was very much a minority.<br /><br />College was the first place I really felt at home, because people were more like me there.<br /><br />One good thing about my upbringing was that I can get on with all classes easily and I don't judge people by their accents or where they're from!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580722556967642972.post-16717315707910381542010-03-03T13:05:56.857+02:002010-03-03T13:05:56.857+02:00you are so gorgeous. xxyou are so gorgeous. xxcinta / sepi / sayuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101577998279810115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580722556967642972.post-17006287143324195532010-03-03T12:47:44.306+02:002010-03-03T12:47:44.306+02:00i feel like a minority amongst my coursemates all ...i feel like a minority amongst my coursemates all the time!
