"Stand up! Asian Women"6

Separation

　　We have 13 participants joined in the Asian Women Project. However, from the beginning to the end of the project, "thirteen" was only an ideal number…thirteen of us only got altogether once. That was the day before Nina leaving us.

　　After participating this project for a week, our relationship became more intimate. One day, we all informed that a new participant who came from Laos would join into the project, at the same time, one of classmates left us. Our feeling was strange, we felt glad that one more new participant would join in, however, we were also sad for our leaving classmate.

　　Separation from friends made us depressed. Especially, the leaving classmate was Nina, who is an Indonesian Chinese, she helped us a lot for the project.

Our "special" teacher

　　Every time when we were brainstorming for our group assignment, Nina always played as the leading role among the group. It was undeniable that she can play leadership very well. Whenever we stuck in our assignment or works, she could always lead us away from the predicament. We learnt how to think and solve problems systematically. She is really our "special" teacher.

　　Even though in the daily life, she taught us the attitude towards life. Her passion and sincerity to others are really what we need to learn.

　　We can still remember the day she brought us to have our lunch in the sushi shop. " I hope all of our classmates could have chance to eat here. It is because Japanese foods are very expensive in most of the Asian countries, some of our classmates have seldom chance to try. Besides, it is really pleased and cheerful if all of us can gather here!" After this day, she invited all of us to have pizza and watch a movie before she left.

　　If anyone among us were not happy, she would never refuse to give us a hand. Perhaps Nina would think it was only an easy thing to do, however, such sincerity touched everyone of us. We can see our god and experience the love spirit from her.

The moment of separation

　　It was 2:00 p.m., Nina had to rush to the airport. It was really hard to say goodbye to each other. "What will we feel at the day when leaving Bangkok?" a question suddenly came up in our mind.

　　Separation may be a painful moment to us, but "no separation no reunion", we wait for our reunion day. We can get together again as if we have done before…
