Life is not always full of smiles and flowers. So it is very important to have a correct attitude to face up the difficulties.
Two years ago, when I was busy for preparing the SAT and TOFEL, my teacher asked me to take part in a dance team in school competitions. He told me that the extracurricular activities could also give you the benefit on the application of the U.S. universities. But I thought I was not good at dancing and I need spend a lot of time on English learning, so I did not want to participate the dance team. Unable to withstand the teacher’s persuading, finally I joined the dance team and began to learn the dance. Fortunately, the dance teacher was very responsible, and taught the students carefully. Although I did not have much base on dancing, I learned quickly under the teacher's guide. At that time, because of the busy study on English, I took the dance as my only entertainment, so I learned the dance very seriously, sometimes I stayed in dance room for additional training. After a period of careful practice, I found the dance was not difficult as I thought, I began to doubt my judgment on my dancing. Maybe I was good at dancing but I was shy in public and did not have a try. With increasing of my confidence, I worked hard and performed well. The dance teacher took me as the leading dancer in the team. I felt very happy, but on the other side I have the responsibility to lead the team members dancing well. Fortunately, in the final school competition, we won the second which was the best reward for dancing in our class. My teacher was very happy and invited us to dinner, he told to me that difficulties was not terrible, the really terrible thing was giving up without trying.
I agree with the teacher's view very much, after this dancing activity, I found that the right way to face up difficulties is to be confident and brave, Confront difficulties with confident, and you will find the difficulties are not as hard as you thought. Try to solve the difficulties with brave and work hard, the difficulties will disappear and you will achieve success finally. If I was luckily selected by Penn State University, I will do many attempts in the college, not just hard study. I will explore and exercise my ability by participating in extracurricular activities, associations, commercial companies internships and so on.
生活中并不總是充滿微笑和鮮花,所以用一個正確的態度來面對困難是非常重要的。
兩年前,當我正忙著準備SAT和TOFEL考試 ,我的老師叫我參加一個舞蹈隊在學校比賽。他告訴我,課外活動也可以給你在美國的大學生活帶來好處。但我覺得自己不擅長跳舞,而且需要花很多時間學習英語,所以我不太想參加舞蹈隊。經不住老師的勸說,最后我還是參加了舞蹈隊,并開始學習舞蹈。幸運的是,舞蹈老師很負責很認真的教學生。雖然我沒有很多舞蹈基礎,但是在老師的指導下學得很快。同時,由于忙于學習英語,我把舞蹈作為我唯一的娛樂,這樣我學起來很認真,甚至我有時候留在舞蹈室進行額外的練習。經過一段時間的認真學習,我發現舞蹈其實并不困難,我開始懷疑我對自己不擅長舞蹈的判斷。說不定我是一個跳舞高手,但害羞的我又不敢在公共場所試一試。隨著我努力練習,我的舞跳得越來越好,信心也增強了。舞蹈老師要求我作為領舞者,站在隊伍的前面。我特別高興,但又感覺責任重大,我必須帶領團隊成員也把舞跳好。幸運的是,在最后的學校比賽中,我們贏得了全校第二名。這是我們班在跳舞比賽中取得的最好成績。我的老師很高興,請我們吃飯,他告訴我說,困難并不可怕,真正可怕的是不嘗試就放棄了。
我認為老師說的非常有道理,經過這次舞蹈大賽,我發現正確面對困難的方式是要自信和勇敢。只要自信一點,你會發現困難并沒有想象的那么難。嘗試解決困難,勇敢和努力去面對,困難就會消失,你會取得最終的成功。如果我幸運的被賓夕法尼亞州立大學的錄取,我想我會做很多方面的嘗試。不僅要努力學習,而且我將積極參與課外活動,社團,商業公司實習等,鍛煉提高自己的能力。
