Gonna Be A Junior.....REAL SOON...

    This photo's taken at my grandma's 84th birthday celebration party. The two girls next to me are my 

cousins who study in Canada. Time flies, I'm just aware of the fact that I'm gonna be a junior student real soon. After being back in Taiwan, I didn't get to have lots of chances to hang out, for the weather was really bad. However, grandma's birthday is one of the most important events of all year; therefore, we ignored the existence of a big typhoon and went to Tainan to meet up with our families. This year with certain reasons my cousin Xiao-Ping wasn't able to join us and his sister was in the States, not to mention my sister....in the States too. Therefore the "children table" which used to be very crowded and lively in the past became a bit empty. Well, everyone became a grown-up and that's probably why. 

    My grandma is really a blessed old woman who has been insisting on walking on the path of God in her life. She indeed affects her sons, daughters and grandsons very much. I remember when I was young, I always expect to go Tainan to visit her during vacations. That's also probably why we cousins are very close comparing to other families.  

My cousins Rosemarie and Esther are soon going back to Canada to continue their studies. I just have no idea when would the next time meeting up be. I hope it won't be a long time anyways. As for me, I'm about to start my new semester as a junior in two weeks. Recently I'm a bit confused about my future. I'm just not sure  enough what I really like and what I really wanna do in the future. Doing the military service first or keeping studying? Being an English teacher or an English translator or even something else? And what if I wanna have further education, what should I major in? Lots of question marks emerge in my brain. However, I think the only thing I could do is to keep working hard and keep praying hard. I believe if I have enough faith to God, he would naturally arrange everything I need ahead. Everything is absolutely in the hands of God. 

    In the upcoming semester I hope myself could have better academic performances and accumulate more experiences in teaching or translating English. I always believe the old saying, "practice makes perfect"; thus, I should keep practicing my English and never quit doing so. There is no end of learning languages. Although I haven't seen any obvious progress of my English yet, I believe, with a firm resolution, I would eventually make it someday. I would and should never be satisfied :)
