Life is full of various experiences, some of whom are unforgettable. I still remember the hiking experiences with my classmates for 16 kilometers to Hailongtun two years ago. That summer day, we set off early in the morning, think it would be great fun to walk for such long a distance. However, with the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I found their legs heavier and heavier. What’s worse, my feet began bleeding because long time pressing against the shoes. At one point, I even wanted to give up. And I managed to drag the rest of the way to the destination. Though not pleasant, this journey was impressive and rewarding. I have learnt that life is the long journey like this. No matter what happened, we should never give up.

When I was a child, I dreamed of go to one of the city’s five best high school. The admission was based only in a student’s performance in a single test. After spending several years struggled to keep up with my classmates, I was final able to meet my academic potential when I change my school. At my new school, teachers were attentive. Some of us offered to tutor after class. It was an opportunity, of that I took full advantage. I was started receiving top scores and performing at the top of my class. As result, I did well in the admission test.

Last week our music teacher teach us a song, named Indebted Heart(感恩的心), through that now I know we should live with a thankful heart. I think of my parents, who I think are first people I should thank. It's they who gives me life, bring me up, look after me and teach me how to live happy. I should thank my parents for giving myself so much. Maybe I should consider how to pay back to the love my parents give me. And now I think the best way to be grate to my parents is to study well. And then be a useful person to the society is my ideal.
