Fireworks on New Year’s Eve
Ever since coming to the United States, I have watched several fireworks shows. One was on the bank of the Charles River, I was sitting with friends on the grass and watched the July 4th Firework celebration. One was at Boston Harbor; the fireworks show for New Year’s Eve. The other was at Disneyland in Log Angeles, a dream-like fireworks show around the castle. Each time I watch at fireworks, my heart feels touched. I feel peaceful and hopeful; because of the fireworks, the world looks so beautiful and promising. Each firework display brings us hope.
