Monologue

Today I am going to talk about my special high school life.



As you can see, I am a Chinese and I am also made in China. I spent the first two years of high school life in China and the other two years in Brooklyn. The high school life in China is the most difficult time in my life. When I was a Junior in Chinese high school, I had classes for six and half days per week. I had to wake up at 6 am every day because the first class started at 7 am. After 4 classes in the morning, I had a 2 hour break. This was just the time for lunch and homework. I had another 4 classes in the afternoon, and then, I ate dinner and started doing homework again! Moreover, I had to go to school to do our homework at night until 10 pm. Although I spent all my time doing my homework, there was still tons of homework waiting for me. Anyway, I survived. I feel lucky I can stand here today.

Monologue

When I was five years old, I wanted to be a police officer and shoot bad guys when I grow up. I got my inspiration and the idea of being a police officer when I grew up watching the T.V. show, Cops. I thought I was receiving a firsthand experience of what it was like to be a police officer by watching that show, but most likely the show is fake and acted. I also wanted to see what it was like driving a police car while chasing down a suspicious vehicle. Being a police officer may seem great and fun, but it is also a very risky job (although that may not be the case for every police officer). Also, my parents forbade me from being a police officer.
