Have you ever wondered why it is that you meet someone when you meet someone? It seems like sometimes, destiny brings certain people to you just to illuminate one fact to you or help you when you don't even know you need it.
My room mate is a great example. Asians are a minority in my college, so I wasn't surprised that my roommate for first semester is white. However, this semester, my room mate is not only the same nationality as me, she actually came from the same city in China as me and is attending school as an international student.
I can't explain how special living with her is. Because I moved to the US at a young age, I've always wondered what I would have been like if I have grown up at China. My room mate provided that mirror for me - the way she talks with her high school friends, her hobbies, her habits...
After living with her for the past month and a half, I can honestly say that I don't think I would've turned out all that differently if I stayed in China which was interesting to me because I always imagined this big gap. I suppose the only thing that would have been different is probably a lack of religious conviction...
