“My ESL student Yi Wang wrote the attached story in response to the prompt: “Describe a city that would be your ideal place to live.” I love what she wrote. It is so evocative of the beauty of the city, her birth and happy childhood, and the immigrant experience of living where everything is strange, including the landscape. And, of course, it is a sad tale of how ‘…we don’t know what we’ve got till it’s gone,’ as Joni Mitchell sang.”
