When I was a child, my teacher often said I was "promising" I only knew it was praise and did not understand what it meant, and gradually grew up, and gradually found that I had been working blindly, I did not chase the goal, no direction, those stages of success in the eyes of others to say nothing at all meaningful, in such some absurd confusion and confusion, I gradually Indulge myself.

I do not want to study, to receive nine years of compulsory education is supposed to, I have already a junior high school, and then read a year, junior high school graduation, I do not know whether to continue to seek education, should be, in today's sense diploma as a knock on the door of China's junior high school graduation dropout, almost equal to self-destruction, not to mention, in addition to reading also over, I have nothing.

In school, if I had more perseverance and tenacity, I would have excelled in at least two areas.

I used to write very well, compared with the surrounding, but in the continuation of the two ' essays did not get a good review of such a situation appeared, then my mind is extremely improper after each writing are affected by it, every deterioration, I was like a deflated ball, but the matter, now the textual skills, with the sudden progress of other people, has been reduced to the normal, I have not written any insightful articles for a long time I haven't written anything insightful in a long time.

My math scores are not bad, the teachers who have tutored me in this subject say I am very smart and want to be a mathematician, and when I was young I believed I could solve the world's problems when I grew up, but as I grew older, I realized that everything has its resistance, not to mention that it is something that countless people have tried and failed, so I don't care about this strength anymore.

My Mandarin is quite standard, and for a while, my reading level was in the leading position in the class, but slowly my flaws showed up long, my voice is small, the strength of reading aloud is not enough, and the tone is a bit low, how to read without rhyme, these can be changed, but I think it is not necessary, and soon lost interest. At the beginning of last month, I was still class president, when a year, the early first year, I was very enthusiastic, and teachers and classmates greatly appreciated it, when management problems began to surface, I sighed long and short, afraid to face, this time the campaign for class president, I did not participate and gave up ...... "less strong do not try, the oldest vain hurt The future of the horse must strive, do not learn the dragon bell false sigh" ...... I recited these verses as if mocking myself.

I know, that continuing this way, is not, a good piece of wood can be a work of art, and can also be used as firewood.

I tried to put the problem down, and I felt a lot more relaxed, it is not inevitable, I feel that the confusion of the former self-thought is just in the bull's eye, as long as you do not think about it there is nothing to do. Although I have not reached the direction of effort, for the time being, this dream-seeking age makes me feel that my dream is going to be found, and the idea of "being good now" is not too big, but it is enough to support me.

"Youth during the teenagers are most likely to get lost", I am one of the replicas of this sentence, I can not break free, and do not want to give in to this, the road is out of people, even if I am in the wilderness, but also fearless, no way out, may as well open up a new road.

The future! I come.
