“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. “Just like it says, the success will not come to you unless you work harder. I always feel energetic when I think of it. Especially when I just came to this country, I had to deal with the new language, the new culture and the new people. It was hard for me to fit in American society at the beginning, but I knew I had to work harder in order to reach my goal in this new country. I pushed myself to keep going forward, and never gave up. Finally, it helped me to reach my goal, the College.
I am a student in the Baruch College now, this is a totally new challenge for me. After one month of studying in the Baruch, I realize this challenge is not easy to handle. I have to deal with about twenty pages of reading every day, and lots of essay assignment. The class material is not easy to understand, and some readings are long and boring. It is hard to focus on that in a long time. But I realize I cannot just sit there, and do nothing. I have to be aggressive on learning. I tell myself to keep reading if I do not get it, and pay one hundred percent attention in the class.
I am extremely afraid of writing essays. I always feel dizzy when I see there is a writing assignment due soon. I am not a good writer, plus I know my paper always has tons of grammar mistakes. I feel a lot of pressure when I see this essay will decide most of my grade. So I tell myself I cannot finish it carelessly, I should go to writing center if I have the grammar issues; I have to push myself to be better. I have to work harder if I want good grade.
My family is important to me. They always support and help me whatever I do. They want the best future for me. That is why they work so had to send me to this country. They know this country will give me more and better opportunities. And I know I cannot make them disappointed so, I have to work harder, and pay them back in the future.
Life is full of obstacles, but we cannot just give up when we face the difficulty. Instead, we should work harder, and overcome it. We will have a better future, if we have a determined heart.
