Hard working days

  Days are passing fast as if someone has pressed the speed forward button on the remote control of life. I still couldn’t believe the thirty-day challenge has moved into the second half, so I decided to add more fun into my thirty-day challenge: to watch movies in other languages and read stories about different languages.

  This Saturday was a perfect day for watching a movie, so my roommate and I watched a French movie called “The Chorus”. Therefore, my word of the day was the name of this movie, which was “Les choristes”. The movie was talking about how a music teacher in a school that full of problem boys finally turned the kids into sensible young men. The movie moved me so much as the story goes on. At first, the kids didn’t like their music teacher at all because they thought he has no difference with other teachers, and they often played tricks on him. However, the music teacher’s songs, which wrote by him, finally touched the kids’ hearts. Besides, he used his real heart to get along with the kids, and finally gained the kids’ respects and loves. Many students of him grew up into very successful people, and they were still having a thankful feeling to their teachers after they grew up. The movie was really a good and creative movie because there has few movie talks about this kind of story between teacher and students. Since I was learning French recently, I was able to understand some sentences in the movie, and that made me feel really excited since I’m able to understand another language besides English and Chinese.

  Prom had finally come, and everybody who is going to prom seemed busy preparing his or her prom suits and dresses. Since I’m not going to prom, people came to me and ask me to put on make-ups for them on Sunday. My professional ability of putting on make-up made me wondering about being a dresser. I was really satisfied when people said “wow” after I’m done with my artsy works on their faces. After seeing their pretty dresses, I was feeling regretful in my decision of not going to prom. Therefore, I decided I’m going to prom next year. When most of my friends have gone to prom, I decided to finish my challenge of the day. Since it is the day of prom, the ward “prom” is what I’m going to learn. The word “prom” in Spanish is “Paseo”.

  There is only less a week to my first SAT, and I’m feeling kind of nervous right now. I really hope I can do well, at least, not too bad. It’s the last week for me to prepare. Working hard! 2400!
