2009 was the year for me to make my miracle from the very beginning to the very end. Life is just like a journey. The best thing of life is not found at the end of the journey, but experienced along the journey.
2009 I have won some inspirational prizes about English studying; the champion of English speech contest sponsored by Beijing foreign language school, the best actor of English drama and the first place of Xuehai English awards competition. I cant deny that I have mad love for study English, I am telling you, speaking English fluently gives me a great sense of satisfaction and achievement and makes me fell super confident about myself. But sometimes, something like complicated grammar, vocabularies with over twenty letters and different tense changes are totally driving me nuts. But I think everything takes time, so does learning English and I hope I will be more patient and tolerant on study.
Another subject that I have to mention is global warming. I have been obtaining the knowledge and information of climate change in 2009. It is definitely gives me a deep impression and I truly want to let you guys know what is going on around the world.
I saw a PSA on TV on one day in 2009. Two polar bears stand on a thin chunk of floating ice looking at the sky desperately. Their home Arctic is melting because of global warming.
In that PSA, I was impressed a lot more by the voice over from the two little kids. They said, “polar bears live in Arctic on the ice, but the ice is melting because of global warming. Some polar bears had to swim so far that they drowned. Baby bears have died. When I am old, when I am forty-five, they could be gone. Grown-ups should do something.. Please help them!’’ I am telling you, for the very first time in my life, I found out that little kids’ voices could be so powerful. And I think it is time for we human beings to deal with the issues of global warming because we only have one earth. Let’s change from right now, yes we can!
2010 will be a shining year of my golden age. I am going to be an adult, even if I exactly haven’t got ready yet. The age of eighteen, it was an age for me to become a grown man, which meant I was not a little kid any more.
It was also an age for me to become more independent, face and deal with everything in my life on my own. On the top of it, eighteen was the age for me to take the college entrance examination and I hope I can successfully got the offer from my dream university. If it going to happen to me some day, that will absolutely a dream come true for me..
Speaking of another unforgettable consideration of mine. I am about to be a distant learner in America, because I incredibly have passion for the multiple culture all around the world and there is no doubt that America is leading and creating the freshest culture, therefore, I decide to study the major of Public Relations in U.S and I am trying to develop the local culture of China. There are a lot of hypers and trendiers keeping underground on their business and their inspiring proposition. My target is to make them become mainstream culture and fundamentally build the roots of the Chinese street fashion.
When it comes to the fashion, I insist that I incredibly adore street fashion based on the hip-hop culture and I am sure it will combine native Chinese culture some day, that is definitely stand for the indelible morale of every stylists, local designers or even ordinary citizens. Another point is that I am fashion conscious, because at the beginning, I get a kick out of adding my own flavor, my own attitude to the clothes I am wearing and recently I was working on my own designing project, designing my ideal patterns and figures. Me and my friend are planning to create our own brand called Aboriginal, it is a convincing proof of my hard works on exploration of culture and fashion, hope it is going to drop bomb after 4 or 5 years.
And I need you guys support me and show respect to Aboriginal, because our marketing propaganda and strategy is open to International markets. I am looking forward to receiving the hottest news created by international friends. No matter what it is just a dream haven’t come true for me, I will do my best to achieve it. The exploration and persistence are the unshakable philosophy of mine, I promise you guys Aboriginal will be born after 5 years. I appreciate you guys could show your supportive to my hard work.
