While my friends attended their universities in great delight,l restarted my senior high school life.
My spirit sank at the thought of staring all over again. Surrounded by strange classmates,l felt like
I was in a maze (迷宫) and was sorry for myself. There were some complex feelings in my mind.
I was frightened ,nervous and lonely.
To make matters worse,I recalled my failure again and again, which put more pressure on me
than I could bear. As a result,l was always feeling down during class.
My teacher found me spiritless. One day he asked me to come to his office and told me about
his attitude towards Iife: we might suffer from making mistakes, but it's important to model ourselves
into the people we will become. All the growing pains and the embarrassing things we may experience
are part of the process. We never stop growing up,so learn from it and keep up your spirit! At last ,
he added , " If you are optimistic , things you want may happen to
you !"
Warm feelings rushed through my soul. I suddenly found the sun shining again when I stepped out
of his office.
With the teacher's help,l eventually got over my depression. From then on,l no longer bowed(垂下)
my head but began smiling to my classmates. I would put up my hand confidently in class and play
with my new friends in my spare time. Meanwhile, I was gradually embraced by my classmates.
Now faced with fierce competition, we all study strenuously(奋发地) .and every second counts.
However, there is an atmosphere of mutuai(相互的) trust and respect between us. I love my class;
I love my classmates !
To be frank ,I still have a thirst for my dream university , but I'm not afraid of the failure because
I can profit by it. With parents and teachers' great expectation, I'm quite certain of my future and I'm
sure I can fly high.
