“I realized that constantly dwelling on my past led to depressing nostalgia and thinking about the future brought uncertainty, anxiety, and fear. I strived to live in the present, and I had an amazing time during my year in New York City.”
Philip J. Guo, On the Move
“The best part about the class was that the teacher would first lecture on a particular piece of art, then she would show us slides and photographs of it, and after some analysis, she would take us on a short walk to the worldfamous Metropolitan Museum of Art where we would actually see the real thing.”

“When my father picked me up from school that night and walked me home, I replayed the pure joy of the dance in my head over and over again. I was sad that I would probably never get to see these kids again, but I was prepared all along not to become emotionally attached. I knew that I was moving to Los Angeles, California in a few months so nothing that I experienced here could stay with me. The year had exceeded all of my expectations, and I felt so thankful that we had the opportunity to live here. I remembered all of the good times during my year in New York City, and I just smiled.”
