In my 20 years, I had been faced with several tough life decisions. It all started at the end of my junior high school when I had to decide whether to go to a high school 3 hours away from my hometown or not. This decision was very tough to make, because I would have to live far away from my family, I was just 15 years old, I had to life in a dormitory with so many strangers, and it is a brand new high school. Leaving to a new town would mean that I have to start over and tried to make new friends. I decided to go to that high school and having best years of my whole life! Overseas travel, meeting so many amazing friends, meeting my mentor, and the experience taught me to be a stronger and more humble person.
The next major life decision is to go to the US for university or not, at the end of my high school year. It was tough choice for me because, as you all may have known, my mother suffered tumor since I was 13 years old, and the idea to move to a different country 30 hours flight away from my hometown was very scary. I did not understand the culture, I did not speak the language very fluent, and honestly I had no idea where Lubbock is. Did I take the opportunity? Yes, I did. I am now also enjoying best year of my life. Making great new friends, learning a lot about new culture, be able to travel around the US, and I learned that if we are being honest and genuine to everyone, we could give them happiness.
The thought of moving around is scary. The idea of not settling is frightening. Yet, every time I decided to take the opportunity to move, I am having the best time of my life. I do not know where I would end up after college or maybe in several months. Yet I know that my life is an adventure, and my job is to enjoy it and work as hard as possible.
