I put family, health, friendship, wealth, and enjoyment as my top five in my value list. I know lots of people think putting wealth to the fourth position is very worldly, but honestly I think wealth is the basic of many things except family, friends and health in the real world. Take today as an example. Sunday is the last day of this week and I have a lot to do. I have three roommates and we share a two-bedroom apartment because this is much cheaper, and our agreement of sharing room to save money represents that we care about wealth. We are all international students studying abroad that show our independence, and we became close friends since we lived together that show our friendship. We also watched a movie called Gravity for enjoyment since we all like movies. I contact with my parents everyday using WeChat, which is an app like Line, and I love to talk about my day with them and I know they love to hear. I ate two times a day and an apple at night to keep healthy, and I believe I am responsible for my own health.
I am the only child in my family, so my parents gave all they can give to me. When I was little, my father kept saying he wishes me noting but three things, be healthy, be happy, and be aspirant. I don’t understand what these mean at first, but I start to understand now. My family was very poor when I was born, and my parents played an exemplary role to show me their positive quality. They are strong, optimistic, and frugal; they respect to each other and they dutiful to their parents. I would keep these positive qualities, but there is one thing I will get rid of. They are told to be a person who their parents want them to be, but I won’t. My parents want me to be a doctor because they think doctor is a very good career, but I don’t like to learn medicine. My goal for myself is to be who I want to be and show my parents my decision is right. They love me so they did not force me to learn medicine in college, and I am finding my way to achieve my goal. Although I haven’t decided my major, I am happy now because I took different courses in different area and this is fun. I will find my interests and I know I will insist it till the end.
