A DREAM, for me, is like a torch to light up my insipid (平淡的) life and a pair of wings to fly me into the sky. The uncertainty of my future and the heavy burden of schoolwork had driven me into a negative situation and not until I had a dream did I get out there. I decided to become a hostess.
It was last summer. I went to Jinan, which is famous for its natural springs, and started to learn broadcast hosting. However, I found that it was not easy.
The weather was bad. It was too hot to stay calm, which made me homesick. I called my parents at least five times a day. But as I tried my best to adapt to the weather and living conditions there, I became more independent.
Another thing bothered me, too. My teacher criticised all my mistakes. Grievance (委屈) and exhaustion often reduced me to tears and sweat flowed down my checks. To get her recognition, I practised my voice skills in a park every day, even on rainy days. You can't imagine how happy I was when she praised me for the first time.
My dream enabled me to change a lot. Without my dream, I wouldn't have had the courage and the confidence to host the New Year party at our school. On stage, I knew that it was a good beginning to my hosting dream.
I took the arts examination in the winter. To my delight, I did well. And I was more than excited when I received the offers from Shandong Normal University, Yunnan Normal University and Yunnan Art Institute.
My dream has powered so much energy in me that my life has become colourful every day. So, however hard it will be to stick to my dream, no way will I give it up!
