Make the most of it, while we are still young!年轻,趁现在!

2nd December 2015  /  life upon life, highlight, significant story

Young as we are, we’re always impatient. We don’t know that the most cherishable page in the book of our life is hidden deeply in our heart. Only when the years have long gone do we realize what we’ve missed. Only at that moment while brimful with tears, we paid tribute to the bygone youth.

At the age of sixteen, we are full of youthful spirit and our days seem to be all bright and colourful. However, everyone has his or her own regrets. I have always been a quiet girl not willing to or good at talking to others. Many of my relatives consider me an introverted girl, and others may classify me as a person “unable to talk”. When I went to school, I was even quieter in the face of a group of strangers. I didn’t dare to raise my hand and I dreaded the moment when the teacher would ask me questions and I would be too embarrassed to speak a word. 

Because of excuses like this, I had lost far too many chances to express myself and had lost lots of life’s treasures. I still have regrets when I think back on these lost chances. Fortunately for me, my relatives, teachers and classmates exerted an imperceptible influence on me. Though I still feel nervous today, I have taken my first step and overcome myself to some extent. Here I stand in the large beautiful campus, where I’m going to spend three years that are especially important in my lifetime. 

Maybe I will be sad, discouraged, suffering and confused during these three years, but I won’t allow my youth to deviate from the right track and I won’t allow there to be too many regrets in my youth. I don’t have wild ambitions, however, I do have the enthusiasm to repay society. After having listened to the lecture of “Inclusive Leadership Challenge”, I was greatly moved. And maybe my heart is fragile, since I feel sad to see the withering grass, I will weep over the passing of life, and I will be heartbroken to see the poor children who can’t go to school. So I hope I can succeed in my efforts and then repay society and help those who are in need.

Not all memories are happy, and not all people are worthy of being remembered. The river of time never stops flowing forwards, and most people and memories will be washed away. However, only youth remains there in the bottom of the river, becoming indelible beautiful memories! 

Make the most of it, while we are still young!

年少的我们总是缺乏耐心,不明白生命里最不舍的那一页,总是藏得最深。非要经年之后,蓦然回首时才会懂得错过的是什么。那一刻,唯有盈眶的热泪,祭奠着早已一去不再复返的青春。十六、七岁的我们正朝气蓬勃、灿烂绚丽,但每个人都有着些许的遗憾。我从小就是个文静的女孩,不喜欢也不善于和他人交谈。来往的亲戚朋友都说我内向,估计大多数人心中都认为我是一个“不会说话的人”。上了小学以后,遇到一群陌生的同学,我更加沉默了,上课是害怕举手发言,害怕老师提问到我,我却说不出话时的尴尬。由于类似的种种原因,我错失了一个又一个展现自我的机会,丢失了大笔的人生财富。如今回想起来,仍深感遗憾。潜移默化中改变着我的,是周边亲人、老师、同学的鼓励,尽管我现在依旧会紧张、会胆怯,至少,我已经迈出了第一步,已经战胜了自己。现在,我步入了港中的校园,将在这温馨又美丽的地方度过人生中很重要的三年。或许这期间,我会流泪、会气馁、会煎熬、会无奈,但我不会让自己的青春偏离正确的轨道,不会让我的青春留下太多的遗憾。我的心并不大,但我有回报社会的一腔热情。在听完“容领挑战”系列的讲座之后,我的内心受到了很大的影响。或许因为我是个内心脆弱的人,看到一花一草的凋零会伤心,看到生命的逝去会流泪,看到因贫困而上不到学的孩子时会心痛,我希望我能成功,靠自己的努力,更希望成功后能回馈社会,帮助那些需要帮助的人们。不是所有的记忆都美好,不是所有的人都值得记忆,岁月的河流太漫长,大部分的人与事都会被无情地冲走,但是,与青春有关的一切,总会沉淀到河底,成为不可磨灭的美好回忆!趁现在,还年轻!
