Stay hungry. Stay foolish"
Steve Jobs had said that to all seniors in 2005 Stanford Commencement. That saying has significant influence on the way I pursue my passion and step out of my comfort zone, fueled my eagerness to live to the fullest and sacrifice my time and effort in order to contribute to my community.
Since I was in secondary school, I took a keen interest in social issues, which seems to be considered boring and beyond most of my peer's concern. Watching diplomats representing their countries of NGOs in conference to discuss and then develop solutions to world problems had kindled my aspiration to be like them in the future. However, not everything lived up to my own expectations. When I shared this wish to some of my classmates, they made fun of me and told me that my expectation was totally unrealistic and impossible. Worse still, they insisted on teasing about my accent when I spoke English and also imagined how ridiculous I would be if I stood in front of hundreds of people giving speech or express my ideas. Having been bombarded by bitter criticisms, needless to say, I felt hurt and very discouraged. I realized that limitations in my ability to use English fluently might be a hindrance for me to achieve that goal. I used to think of myself as an incompetent and that the door of hope seemed to slam in front of me, but eventually my ceaseless effort told a different story.
I always bear in mind that the only way to improve is through hard work and dogged perseverance. At that time, with wholehearted support from my parents, I myself set a challenge to learn English diligently, particularly speaking skill, so that I could be eloquent in English. Practicing as much as I can in front of a mirror on a daily basis and reading many articles in English not only helped me build better vocabulary but also broaden my knowledge about international affairs in which I greatly interested. All my efforts have been rewarded when I passed the gifted high school entrance exam in order to study in specialized English class. Three years as being the vice-president of school's debate club and got some academic merits in English competitions has proved that I could do things what people ever said that I could not before.
