Words of wisdom from ELC students

In keeping with the traditions of the season, students helped decorate a real Christmas tree in the student lounge. Using colorful ornaments and tinsel along with blinking lights and real candy canes, Tomoko, Yo, Osama, and Yeseul quickly decorated the tree with other students. Within minutes the tree and the office front counter were properly dressed in time for the holidays. The student lounge will be the perfect place for students to participate in the annual Christmas party which includes the popular White Elephant gift game.

Celebrated as an American tradition, Thanksgiving is truly a time for food and family. ELC Los Angeles had a typical Thanksgiving feast that featured juicy turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet yams, stuffing, steamed veggies and cranberry sauce. There were three varieties of apple cider and soda to drink, and for dessert, giant pumpkin and pecan pies were offered.

There was more than enough food, and some students had multiple plates of food to start off their holiday weekend! A second day of heavy eating and shopping on Black Friday were popular discussion topics. Students came hungry and left happy.
