This semester’s work came to an end.

Eventually this semester’s work is over, and I am not as excited as I thought I would be. As for my holiday, my mind is full of ideas, but I cannot figure out a way to carry all of them out. Or maybe I’m just on the way there huh. Anyway, I want to make the most of my winter break.

In the past five months, I’ve experienced something new, something nerve-racking, something delightful, something unforgettable…it seems that I’ve tasted every flavor of what life can provide us with (a little exaggerated huh) What’s more, I’ve also learned something in terms of all of thes in life.

First and the foremost, I ‘ve learned to be responsible, to be responsible for my students. This semester, I feel more pressure, for I’m facing a much larger number of students in an almost completely strange surroundings or under that kind of system. I need to be cautious to make no mistakes. I need to work harder to ensure my students to perform well in the finals. Although I’m quite clear of this kind of stuff, I excuse myself of being lazy and irresponsible every now and then. I should have helped those retarded students to follow up; I should have encouraged my student to take every available English competition; I should have prepared every lesson with great efforts and reflected the merits and defects of it in time; I should have been aware of students’ performance as for each unit’s test and then figure out a solution; I should have taken my straight-A’s students into consideration and designed something challenging or something new for them…Next semester, I will be more devoted to my work, to my students, for I’m now crystal clear of the responsibility on my shoulder.

Second, I’ve learned to be caring for my beloved ones. I still remember when I caught that terrible fever in October; my sister took care of me with so much patience and love. When I feel exhausted, my mom’s words can always comfort me. When I was gloomy and lonely, he was always there to share something amusing or interesting with me. I used to take all of these things for granted, but now I know it’s wrong. I should be grateful and be caring for them the same way.

Last but not the least important, I’ve learned the importance to keep in touch with all my best friends. It’s true we are getting busier and busier, but it cannot be the excuse of not contacting each other. If we would like to get together, we can always squeeze the time. It’s a good chance to be informed of our acquaintances’ latest news and to share something cheerful in life. I still remember my short trip with my friend to Inner Mongolia last summer holiday, and now I’m expecting something like that and I want to experience something new with my friends.

Writing at the beginning of this new 2010, I surely hope that this year I can make a difference in whatever area, so long as I’m longing for that.
