REFLECTION

High School taught me that life is not a fairy tale where you always end up with a happy ending. You need to fight for your happy ending it seems. You can just sit down on your chair to get high grades. You must work hard for it because nothing is attaining without an act of doing. But in the likes of me I didn’t do it I lose control of my self-done stupid things I never should do, so I end up being me now a failure. It’s not always you’re at the top sometimes you must come down take note you’re the best someone will always be better than you no bodies perfect. I lesson that I’ve learn high school being smart is not to be brag about being smart is a responsibility not a pleasure. Now I’m full of regrets on myself not grabbing opportunities that life has offered me, but we must embrace what happened whether we like it or not we must accept failure of the past and plan for a great future. But don’t wait for the future to come. In fact act now make your future happen now.

Time flies so fast our days on high school is about to end. We hate to say goodbye to each other but we must move on with life to face the new horizon and challenges of life gives to us. Our memories in high school will be remembered together with its up and downs especially the lessons we have this high school that we will use to conquer the challenges of life.

MY DREAM

Seeing through around the earth, we will find all kinds of people exist in the world. I think why those people are different from each other might be a difficult task to study-----which factor influences and drives them different. It is lucky that I am the one among them so I know that mine is my dream.

I have been sitmulating by my dream, from the day I knew why I came into the world to so far and even in future, which making me different from others. It is a goal, an aim, a direction for my life. It is not strange from outside, but from inside. It is to be a philosopher.Perhaps no one believes that there has philosopher in such modern society. I have to tell you, however, today's civilization is based on people's labor, yes, and it is, but which is not only on the physical labor, the more important is on the mental labor----the thought. If there is no thought on the earth, what will happen? I can't imagine such a devastating scene and I think no one would be willing to fancy.What we inherit from our ancestors are wealth, knowledge and dream----our ancesotrs' dream. They devoted themselves to building our society, which was not for themselves but for the descendants. They had viewed it because their society existed some outstanding philosophers. That's why their society had been developed.

I am no scholar, no greatman and no saint. I am just a citizen as same as you. However, I have a dream and I believe both we have. Just like Marktin Luther King, Jr. He was no philosopher though he gave us a dream. A dream for our life. A dream for our goal. A dream for our hope. And my dream is give our descentant a dream.

CHANGE

My whole life, I have been presented to a single element called change. Change occurs in many different forms and is carried out in many different ways. However, just recently, I have come to the realization that change can be the deepest of all subjects. I always assumed that change occured when you moved to a new town or when you lost someone close to you. Those are elements to change, yes, but change doesn't have to occur over a single dramatic event. It can just happen overnight when your brain determines it's time to do something different. 

For obvious reasons, people reject change. Especially people who are close to each other because they feel that this change is going to seperate them and make them not as close as they used to be. They fight the change until they force the person to change. It's sad how this works, but in reality, it's probably the single most reason why people change. The people we love, love us so much that they want us to remain the way we are forever. Forever is a long time and not one person can always stay the same. Sometimes if the people we love would just accept the change and go with it, they would understand where the change was origianlly coming from. 

It's dangerous to try to stop change and argue against it, especially if the person wants to change so much. The reason that somebody wants to change is usually not their choice, but a feeling that the person feels inside their head and heart. It's almost like a celestial force is making you change and you have no say in the matter but you know you have to because your mental and physical attributes are commanding you to. Maybe the change isn't the best change, but if you dig deeper, the person that you love and know isn't really changing, they are just trying to find themselves and the one thing they need the most is the support of the people who they care about the most. When the people they care about the most dismiss their change as something unimportant and try to guard down everything by rules and regulations, the person they loved begins to change out of sadness that the one group of people he or she thought would understand, really has no clue. Maybe change isn't always good or bad, like I was saying before, but it could be looked at as something to help you grow. So just remember..if someone is changing, be there for them, offer your their opinion but help them go through whatever they need to go through because they will do what they need to do regardless of the people that they really do love.
