My unborn boy's first MBA practice

Yesterday was the first day for the MBA orientation. After the Dean of Yale SOM's speech, we were divided into three cohorts: Silver, Blue and Green and escorted in the different rooms to listen to the famous speech of "I had a dream" by Dr. Martin Luther King. I was inspired and touched by Dr. King's speech, and I felt that my boy was also actively responded to the louder applause from the speaker and he frequently kicked inside me. This was the first speech for my unborn boy. I guess he was touched by the speech also. Wow, I felt that I took advantage of the Yale by paying one expensive tuition for two persons-my boy and I.

The afternoon section was long and tired. Yale SOM is partnering with Strozzi Institute to introduce the martial art and leadership practices and concepts. 4 hours martial art practices were not easy and not fun for many others, special for me, a 6-month pregnant student. Frequently sat down and stood up, practiced with a wooden stick for fighting and no break at all. I was exhausted at the end of the day. But I was glad that I did everything same with the others and I made to the end of the day. (I should mention that the second day today, I felt that all these martial art practices start to make sense and I do enjoy more).

We had a wonderful picnic at the Lighthouse Point Park, where there is a beautiful beach and a light house. Many students brought their families and kids. I have had a fun there with my new classmates. It is so difficult to remember the names and countries for the classmates on the first day.

This was the first day of my MBA journey and I want to write it down for my memory.
