About Changing

Life is a miracle. Sometimes it stays still, much too still to change a little bit, however willingly we wish to alter. While some other times it races fanatically and therefore tremendous changes keep taking place even out of control. I am fortunately in that miracle which is now rapidly changing my life.

I used to be a typical tradition student, most obedient, most introverted. Memories in Da Heishan Campus now have left me nothing but endless study, morning till night, Monday to Sunday, without a minute’s leisure. Still until now, I could not figure out why I was so diligent at that time. Maybe I thought a student should be like that.

Time passed by swiftly and led me to this prosperous city-center campus. While millions of options were opening to me, waving to me, calling me, I suddenly realized HERE is where a new life belongs. I began to change. In the past week, I have been keeping looking for part-time jobs until finally, a SHISEIDO company employed me as their campus salesperson and still until recently, a Korean cosmetics on-line shop agreed to have me as their salesperson.

Since then, I decided to improve my self-image, from a dull, conservative student to a fashionable and bright young lady. I have sworn never having my hail dyed or permed, never having fingernails painted, or even never wearing bras with steel supports to prevent cancer and so on. But now, all those determinations were broken. I did all of them. Looking into the mirror, observing a little dependent girl changing into a brand-new girl, I just couldn’t help wondering if this almost strange face belongs to me.

Life is a fanatic journey, during which we both struggle to survive and also enjoy its pleasure. We sit in the shadow of this fancy life’s glory, bathing in its mysterious gleams, perceiving its every delicate detail. No matter good or bad, what is taking on me is becoming at least part of my life, part of my life experience that I must unavoidably encounter with.
