The Human's Life Is Full of Diverse Results

The human’s life is full of choices and different choices lead to diverse results. No one knows the backsides of these choices. Future is mysterious and everyone will influence by what they chose in the past. Leaving a familiar environment and moving to a totally different new place are definitely the common ways to change one’s identity and mind. Perhaps the front is covered with thistles and thorns, but after that, we will see the roses are coming into bloom ahead.

More than four years passed in a flash, I have been never forgotten how I changed after I came to the United States when I was sixteen. Unlike most people’s educational backgrounds, I had two years high school life in China and two years in Indiana, USA. My high school in China called Beijing No.2 Middle School, with a very long history and founded in 1724, which also is one of the top key high schools all around China.

No one would know what happened in a unfamiliar environment, perhaps I would lose and stay at the mire, or I would win and open another different successful window.

When I got the first glimpse to my new school, which called Harmony School, I was definitely nervous, a kind of disappointed, and also a little bit exciting. Unlike Beijing No.2 Middle School, Harmony was a small, sweet, and unique “home”, which only could exist in the United States. There were no huge buildings, luxurious fitments, etc; but there were no distance between students and teachers, older students and younger students, etc. The first a couple of months in Harmony gave me a soft landing about my nervous. There was a family meeting every Friday with all high students and teachers. We sat together no matter
