I believe that everyone faces many challenges during different phases of life. All these challenges are inevitable. Sometimes, when we meet the difficulties, we will feel depressed and lose our head. To make it worse, we may decide to give up. However, our attitude is very important. I think that we should have a positive attitude. If we have a correct attitude, the life will be all different.

As far as I am concerned, I have experienced many obstacles. One of the challenges that I have never forgotten happened five years ago. At that time, I was a junior high school student. One day, my art teacher asked me to participate in an art contest because of my being good at drawing. At that moment, I felt a little bit scared and hesitated whether I have enough ability to join or not. Yet, my home room teacher and friends encouraged me and also gave me a big confidence. They said, ‘’ Just do it, you can make it. ’’ At last, I decided to join the contest. In order to produce an excellent work, I spent one month drawing. During this period of the time, I faced many difficulties. At first, I could hardly decide my topic. Then, I didn’t know use what to take on the topic best. At that time, I really wanted to give up. I thought that it was too difficult for me. Fortunately, with my art teacher’s encouragement and help, I finished my painting. Finally, I also got a good price. It was really unbelievable that I achieved the mission.

At last, I think that we should never give up. If we have a good positive attitude, we are willing to learn from our failure and try again until we succeed.

Labor education

Labor education is a kind of obligatory course for every freshman. Up to now, we have already practiced it for about two semesters. However, passing through these two semesters, I have many thoughts to talk about as follow.

'

At the beginning of doing the labor education in the first semester, I was really curious about why we had to do this in the college. In addition, my three groups were all in the morning. Thus, it was really painful that I had to get up early in the morning. At first, I really hated and felt a little irritated. I also couldn’t accept the fact that my cleaning scope was that big and I was the only cleaner. However, it seemed really terrible for me. After for a while, I changed my attitude and adapted myself to it. I gradually found that it was not that bad. The group leader is kind to us, and they would greet you with a big smile. It would let me have a good mood in the morning and give me a motive to go there to clean. Now, I am accustomed to the labor education. I think I can learn many things and also makes many friends from it.

'

Perhaps, that the school lets us do the labor education is truly meaningful. They want us to learn to do everything on our own accord and learn more from doing. Maybe it will help us a lot in the future.
