WhenI was in the eighth grade, my teacher asked us to write an article about whatwe would like to do when we grew up. All I could think of was one sentence—Iwant to help other people! During the years, I met many problems. But I nevergave up. I know that to help other people I have to help myself first. Iencouraged myself after I experienced failures (失败). Finally my dream really came true. Ifound a part-time job in a charity. I began to spend my days doing things forpeople. I have a happy life. That doesn't mean that this kind of life is easy,or that my work is always enjoyable. I am happy because I am doing what I wantto do.
Whatdo you want to do? Write it down now. If you don't know, you can ask yourself, "Whatwould I do if this was the last day of my life?" Then write down the firstthing that comes to your mind, no matter (无论) how silly or impossible it is. If youhave an answer, you will know what your dream is.
