Self-Reflection
I
think the biggest change in me since the beginning of this school year is I can
learn to study and live all by myself and am able to control myself and spend
my time more cleverly. It is my first time to go away from my family and motherland
alone. It is definitely good to learn self-control, because my parents or other
people won’t help me with my study or my life forever. It is positive because in
my opinion it is very important to be independent and clearly if you are
independent earlier, you will get benefit from that in the future. It is just
like what I have said, one day, there will be no one that you can rely on. For
that day, we need to prepare ourselves and the way we prepare for it is to
learn how to control your time.
In
China, I used to be a student who only knew how to study and didn’t know how to
wash clothes. I couldn’t even wake myself up in the morning. I depended on my
parents a lot, such as, they prepared breakfast for me, washed my clothes,
cleaned my room and helped and supervised me for my study. After I came to
Seattle, I learned to use washing machine, I cleaned my room every month and
cleared trash bins every week, and I forced myself to do homework first after school
before playing games or watching videos. It was hard to do homework while all
my friends were playing games, but I managed to do it and I take this change as
learning self-control.
It has been a
successful year for me and I have lived a happy life. For me, the change in
life is good. I learned to live with others, and luckily, I have a great
roommate. Edward is my friend and we had a terrific time this year. Although,
sometimes we couldn’t wake up in the morning and were late for school, but for
most of time we can go to school on time. I still take those little changes in
my life as positive and I think they influenced me in a lot of ways. I have to
say those littles changes lead to the big change and I really feel thankful to
my parents to give me this chance to be in the US and change my life.
My
greatest success as a learner in Humanities is to know how to write essays and learn
the knowledge of history in the past, especially the religion part in Europe
which is the most attractive to me. I achieved the goal of learning more
vocabularies and thanks for Heather’s 25 word very week, because it is really
useful. My goal for the upcoming summer is to read more books in English and
learn more vocabularies for my 10th Grade. I hope to learn more
history of US and enjoy the reading and essays. I am also looking forward to
teachers next year. At last, thank you Heather for our terrific freshman year.
It has been a wonderful experience here and I really enjoy Humanities.
