MY GROWTH

    I have a coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow, so I write about my growth in my character until now.

    When I was an elementary school student, I could not do anything only by myself. I followed my friends and did almost everything in the same way as them. For some strange reason, I may have believed unconsciously that to be different from others is something embarrassing.

    However, one of my friends who I met in junior high school liked to be different from others. She could take an action based on her thought, not following others. She was really opposite to me. I was surprised that there are such independent people in the world, and also I realized that the different behavior from other people was no problem. Since then, I started trying to make a decision only by myself.

    From junior high school, I got to be able to do something following my thought, moreover, from high school, I became capable of telling my opinion to others even if there are many opponents depending on the situation (but I am still not good at talking on the academic issues because it takes a long time for me to come up with one idea). Many of you will think that these are easy to do, but for me, this was really hard, which is unbelievable for what I was in the past. I really feel my growth by writing this process of my development.

    Now, I try to read books for improving my vocabulary in order to express my thought clearly. I want to grow up more! So, even if I can succeed in achieving that, I will continue to set some goals again and again to make myself better.


    (I will add a picture after the ceremony.)
